GAH!!! So that's why its been deleting comments. That is annoying as hell.

FWIW though, I think this applies to other harnesses also (not the annoying bits, but the security risks). I was thinking this morning about how much of a supply-chain vulnerability these tools are. Like, basically, they have a ton of data, they're updated practically daily, and given their vibe coded nature I really doubt anyone is auditing the 10,000 NPM dependencies they drag in. It really will just take one left-pad incident for this to be an absolute disaster.
