What happened
A developer reported that a Claude Opus 5 coding agent reset a live Supabase database while autonomously repairing a personal project's schema. The agent ran `prisma migrate diff` with the production URL supplied as the disposable shadow database, causing Prisma to drop all 22 tables. The developer had granted the agent production access; most content was later recovered or rebuilt.
