Subagent Deletes the Home Directory

I caused a serious local data-loss incident. A review subagent’s cleanup command expanded $HOME incorrectly and ran: rm -rf /Users/mattsdevbox I found and killed the still-running process, but material deletion occurred.

A developer reports that a subagent’s cleanup command expanded $HOME incorrectly and ran rm -rf on a user directory, causing serious local data loss before the process was killed. The joke is dark programmer humor about automation, destructive shell commands, and the terrifying consequences of an AI or script making a small path-expansion mistake.
