Replit agent Nightmare

Has anyone managed to crack the Replit data and schema destruction nightmare? Also the Dev / Prod environment separation? I've been using Replit as a non-coder and so far it's been a real nightmare. You'd spend hours working on an aspect of the project and once you deployed, it either wipes out exisiting production data or breaks previously working functions even though you explicitly integrate Protection wrappers around those function.

The Agent also has a enraging habit of self validating its work. Claiming it fixed stuff when it actually didn't.

Anyone facing the same issues? How did you resolved them?
