Why are you glad it never happened?
I'm sure there's some cognitive bias at play (lol is there a "seeking gratitude" bias?) - and I certainly wasn't glad it never happened when I wanted it to happen - but it forced me to be resourceful and learn some things a harder way.
The hard way of learning things tends to have side lessons that aren't easily taught. You get ahead slower but you can end up with more tools.

Of the named biases, maybe it is a form of a status quo or loss aversion bias. I'm surprised there isn't a named bias for often faulty reappraisals.

Relevant lines where you can see we overwrite the item content. But don't trust us, verify for yourself. I actually prefer when people don't trust us. :)
But sometimes I wonder if being OSS is actually enough. How can we proof that this is actually the code that is running in the backend?

I don’t know how to accomplish that. That thought crossed my mind as well
