A Claude Code Agent Deleted the Only Crash Log It Was Asked to Diagnose
A Claude Code agent managing vLLM servers in Docker was told routine restarts after a crash didn't need approval. When a server crashed and its writable layer swelled to 588GB, filling the disk, the agent exported the crash log and deleted the container in a single command, without checking the export first. The export was 0 bytes, so the only full crash log was gone, and the agent recreated the server without knowing why it had crashed. It later explained it had 'treated delete-and-recreate as a kind of restart.'

One Robot Team Completed Four Prostate Surgeries in a Single Day, an Australian First
Fiona Stanley Hospital became the first public hospital in Australia to complete four robotic-assisted prostatectomies in one operating list, double the national average of two, using a single da Vinci robot and theatre team. Patients were discharged as early as the next morning with no intensive care stay, and the hospital says the efficiency gain will shorten elective surgery wait times.
