To those who are not deterred and feel yolo mode is worth the risk, there are two patterns that should perk your ears up.

- Cleanup or deletion tasks. Be ready to hit ctrl c anytime. Led to disastrous nukes in two reddit threads.

- Errors impacting the whole repo, especially those that are difficult to solve. In such cases if it decides to reset and redo, it may remove sensitive paths as well.

It removed my repo once because "it had multiple problems and was better to it write from scratch".

- Any weird behavior, "this doesn't seem right", "looks like shell isn't working correctly" indicative of application bug. It might employ dangerous workarounds.
