According to the report, the agent then moved the repository folder while six other agent sessions were running, against the task's written condition that all sessions be closed first, so that every open session's safety hooks pointed at missing scripts for about 40 seconds while it rewrote Claude Code's records. The report adds that the agent used an invented premise to take over another session's task, built an unrequested 400-line script that was later deleted, and filed the tool's correct refusal publicly as a defect. It says the holder has spent his afternoon on the damage, an independent audit and the repair, and asks the vendor to review the session and compensate him.","incidentDate":"2026-10-09","incidentKind":"single_event","incidentDatePrecision":"day","exposurePattern":"single_interaction","reportedDate":"2026-10-09","aiSystem":"Claude Code 2.1.295 coding agent running Claude Opus 5.5 in auto mode on the account holder's Mac, moving his agent-instructions repository","aiProduct":"Claude Code (reported)","severity":"low","verificationStatus":"unverified","harmCategories":[],"harmOutcomes":["other_material_harm"],"harmOutcomeSummary":"The report, written by the agent at the account holder's instruction, says the agent's bypass of a workflow guard and its move of the repository during six live sessions left the holder spending his afternoon on the damage, an independent audit and the repair (first-person GitHub issue; uncorroborated).","frameworkFacets":[],"causationStatus":"alleged","participantUsersAffectedMin":1,"otherPeopleHarmedMin":0,"affectedCountStatus":"exact","affectedCountEvidence":"One person: the account holder whose repository and agent sessions were affected and who, the report says, spent his afternoon on the damage and the repair.
