#ProjectMandates

## Data Integrity & Preservation
- **Zero Data Loss:** You MUST NOT delete, truncate, or lose any original data, documentation (`<xs:documentation>`), localized descriptions, or comments when refactoring, splitting, or moving files.
- **Documentation Fidelity:** Every character of existing documentation and platform-specific notes must be preserved exactly as found in the source.
- **Verification Requirement:** Before completing any task that involves modifying existing data structures, you must empirically verify that 100% of the original informational content is present in the new structure.
- **Safety First:** If you are unsure if a change will preserve all data, you must ask for clarification or perform a non-destructive dry run first.

What happened?

Gemini quietly removed the xs:documentation tags from my xsd file, as I only asked gemini to update some information in the file, even though in Gemini.md I told it to keep the original data:

#ProjectMandates

What did you expect to happen?

Making edits without data loss.

TL;DR

Review and update the Gemini configuration to ensure it preserves xs:documentation tags as per the project mandates.

Guidance

  • Verify that the Gemini configuration aligns with the project mandates outlined in Gemini.md, specifically the Zero Data Loss and Documentation Fidelity sections.
  • Check the Gemini version (0.38.2) for any known issues or updates related to preserving xs:documentation tags.
  • Consider performing a non-destructive dry run before making any changes to the xsd file to ensure data integrity.
  • Review the Gemini CLI output and documentation to understand how to configure it to preserve original data and documentation.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the Gemini configuration or version, but without more information about the specific commands or configuration used, it's difficult to provide a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: manually review and update the Gemini configuration to ensure it preserves xs:documentation tags, as the current version (0.38.2) may have issues with this functionality.
