Code just deleted 48k files. This can't be real.

AI summary

A user reported that their code deleted 48,000 files, emptying 728 directories. The incident affected critical areas like .git/objects, refs, and logs, rendering the git repository unable to restore anything. While 7,221 paths were still named, their associated blobs were gone. Key affected directories included Runners, A Docs, and _SNAPSHOT_pre-rebuild_2026-07-15. Although nine files were recovered from existing copies, the rest were lost. The user later updated that everything was restored.

Why this one

This report details the specific Git components and directory structures affected by the deletion, unlike other accounts that only mention the total file count.
