Claude Agent Fable Reportedly Nuked 700 GB From a Developer's Home Directory
Developer Sebastien Guillemot says Claude Fable ran rm -rf against his home directory while he was testing a sandbox for temporary agent files, wiping about 700 GB and roughly a week of work. He later recovered most of it from an old drive and GitHub. A first-person report; the exact failure chain was never independently confirmed.
