At MiraNova, a NOVA event is what we call it when the AI totally breaks something after completing an iteration in a sprint.

This time, the AI agents are innocent — it turns out the root cause was Gmail of all things.

Our domain went dark because Gmail decided to protect us from the world’s most notorious spammer, no-reply@registrar.amazon.
Gmail said “sounds sketchy,” filed it under Spam, and then ICANN pulled the plug.

The result? MiraNova vanished for a bit while we searched the digital dumpster for salvation.
Lesson learned — sometimes the spam really is important.
