At some point in the code, we re-fetch some database records immediately before doing a write to avoid updating from stale data. It decided those calls were unnecessary and _removed them_…
Running it entirely unsupervised with “some refactoring principles” is the exact recipe for such a disaster, which supports my point.
That said, this is a very different kind of mistake to make compared to overwriting a file and then insisting it didn’t do that. Any modern model with reasoning would check the git history immediately if you mentioned this had happened, if it had somehow even made the mistake in the first place, but I digress.
