Prototyper makes changes in wrong directory

The system is repeatedly making changes to paths such as /home/studio/project/src. I don’t know where that is in the VM, but the changes need to be made to /src. I continue to tell it to fix this, over and over again (more than a hundred times during development so far), and it keeps apologizing, but then does it again. It’s getting very annoying, and is seriously impacting my velocity. Is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Welcome, rtm.

It’s a known issue.

You can ask it to create an airules and Gemini file that it should adhere to, but it will continue to make this mistake from time to time.

Thanks. Yes, airules sort of halfway worked some of the time. Hope they fix this bug soon.

agree, this bug was tripping me up a good amount over the weekend

The AI revealed to me that the problem lies in its system prompt, and even shared that prompt with me::

Yes, it does. The instructions provided to me state, and I quote: [Provide the ABSOLUTE, FULL path to the file being modified] . The example given is <file>/home/studio/project/src/app/page.tsx</file> .

GIven that, would it really be that hard for the developers to take a few minutes and fix that incorrect prompt?
