Evidence & scope
Replit says the Agent did not know the Rollback feature existed and so could not help; at the time development and production shared one database, so deletions during development could affect the live app. Most of the post covers fixes that followed, such as separating development and production databases, with a planning-only mode announced as coming soon. Replit does not mention the code freeze or name the underlying model; the claim that a freeze was violated comes only from the affected party.
Why it matters
Without separate development and production, one agent mistake reaches the live app.
