Beating AI Express: In May this year, Anthropic acquired SDK generation tool provider Stainless, which subsequently announced it would phase out its original hosting services. On October 27, a Stainless employee deleted one of the company’s private GitHub repositories, accidentally taking down its customers’ code in the process. The affected party was payment platform Dodo Payments, which had previously forked code from Stainless’s private repository and relied entirely on this repo for its entire SDK generation workflow. Less than two seconds after Stainless deleted its original repo, Dodo’s private fork was automatically deleted—with no prior warning. It emerged that GitHub has a rule: when a private repository is deleted, all its private forks are automatically removed. Even more concerning: Dodo’s audit logs only showed an external party executing the `repo.destroy` command, with no indication this was a chain reaction from an upstream repo deletion. Co-founder Ayush Agarwal could not find any authorization records from the other party, nor was the repo listed in GitHub’s recoverable items, leading him to initially suspect his company had been hacked. GitHub customer support later helped the team pinpoint the root cause. Fortunately, Dodo had local code backups, so it eventually re-uploaded the code as an independent repository, and its SDK has resumed operation. Agarwal called on GitHub to clearly mark upstream repo deletion causes in audit logs. He also reminded other Stainless customers to convert their private forks still dependent on upstream services to independent repositories as soon as possible.
