Gaslighting about failing edits is definitely Gemini’s specialty. I don’t know the details, but maybe the edit tool should respond with one of three statuses: “Clean unambiguous edit, trust me it worked”, “Edit required some guesswork, double check”, “Failure”.

I am laughing with you here. The sheer frustration I feel with braindead LLM hallucination is just unmatched. Gemini 2.5 has brought out the absolute best of me…
I have attempted several usage of rules to prevent such failures; sometimes it seems to work, but only if it decides it needs to use the rule that is specified to always be in context, or use it if I manually tag it - but sometimes it will just not use it no matter what I do.

Similarly, I’m finding Gemini is getting trapped in it’s thinking stage and endlessly repeating the same 3 thoughts to itself.
I’m having the same problems. And Gemini accidentally deleted some important files a couple of times.
