FYI I had Clod attempt to corrupt a prod db the other day. (Opus 5)

I was experimenting with a rather complicated backfill operation, were I had a validation script I understand and have Clod come up with the backfill script. I was running against a local prod copy, and it proposed running the actual (unfinished) backfill script against prod.

It didn't have access to the secrets and I also caught the command, but a good reminder that this stuff needs guardrails.

yeah that's crazy. its so good 99% of the time but I've seen it have some insane hallucinations before (as late as Fable... cant remember if it was Fable 5 or Fable 5.1).

Hallucination not a big deal when it's on the surface layer. But I can't imagine the damage it could do if it hallucinated while building/validating a "load-bearing" component and then continued down that path
