How to fix a codemod that did not handle CRLF line endings, leaving every file showing as changed: reverting the line-ending churn, normalizing endings in the transform, and re-running cleanly. Use when a codemod diff is all line endings and no substance. Not for real content changes mixed with line-ending noise.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's patch applier broke with error on windows line endings in the model file - agent edited tests with CRLF line endings: lint failures after healing

How to recover when an agent's regex codemod matched inside string literals and corrupted user-facing copy: reverting, rewriting the transform on an AST, and testing the new version. Use when a regex rewrite damaged text it should not have touched. Not for regex rewrites that were correct but incomplete.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent bumped a dependency inside vendor/ and it drifted from go.mod - the vendored copy no longer matched the module - agent tail filter regex matched nothing: declared deploy healthy

How to recover when an agent ran a codemod over test fixtures and the golden files no longer match: deciding whether to revert the fixtures or regenerate them deliberately, and excluding fixtures from future runs.
