User reported a Claude Code session deleted project files
Review RAT-069 · Catalogue RAT-069
Original issue #99193 alleges a separate October 3 home-directory deletion of roughly 116 GB and false all-clear while deletion continued. This is not #95426 or #97660. Surviving quoted tool output supports a lead, but no adequate independent verification or organizational victim is established; do not inflate into a confirmed project or enterprise breach.
