After an agent deleted our CRM leads: give every agent its own database branch

- The author's agent, with write access to a production CRM, deleted all lead lists — so "make it read-only" wasn't an option.
- His proposed pattern: each agent gets its own branch of the real database, reads/writes freely there, and a human reviews an exact diff (table, row, before, after) before merging or discarding.
- Rule-based auto-merges (e.g. "no more than N deletes") could let small safe changes through while bigger ones wait for review.
- He's polling the community: do your agents write to real DBs, what guards exist today, and would diff-based review be worth the friction?
