Test AI agent recovery before bulk edits on Linear

Before enabling AI agents for bulk edits on platforms like Linear, it's crucial to test recovery processes. This involves defining clear criteria for tasks like closing old issues or rewriting descriptions, and ensuring the agent's proposed changes can be inspected before execution. Implementing read-only access for initial reviews and narrowly scoped permissions for write operations can mitigate risks. Additionally, maintaining a record of approved changes and rehearsing recovery in a separate workspace are vital steps to prevent data loss or corruption. AI
