It was indeed unintended, caused by a bad git merge from a long-running feature branch. :)

As part of the revised implementation, the proposal is to add unit testing, so that we can detect it in the future as part of our build process.

It happens, I've blown up branches to the point of "welp, I hope that is still in the reflog" a few times.

Git is a double-barrelled footgun with a hair trigger.
