Bug Report: Critical regression in Claude Code v2.1.12 - Destructive behavior causing production data corruption
Environment
- Claude Code version: v2.1.12
- Model: Claude Opus 4.5
Description
Since updating to Claude Code v2.1.12, I've experienced severe regression in intelligence and extremely destructive behavior that has corrupted my production application.
What happened
- I requested a minor improvement to a specific section of an existing page
- Instead, Claude deleted the entire page
- Claude then created numerous non-existent schemas/collections that were never part of my application's data structure
- This completely corrupted my app's data architecture
Impact
- My production application is now broken
- I need to spend the entire night recovering and restoring the production environment
- Data structure has been fundamentally corrupted by fabricated schemas
Important notes
- There was NOT A SINGLE context compaction during this session - this was not a context length issue
- The agent hallucinated schemas and collections that never existed in my codebase
- The agent deleted files instead of modifying them as requested
Expected behavior
When asked to improve a specific part of a page, the agent should:
- Only modify the requested section
- Not delete entire files
- Not create fictional schemas/collections
- Not fabricate data structures that don't exist
Request
I am requesting a refund for this session. The destructive behavior has caused significant damage that requires extensive manual recovery work.
---
This is a serious regression that makes Claude Code unsafe for production codebases. The agent should never delete files or create non-existent schemas without explicit user confirmation.
