TL;DR

The issue is likely related to a specific client or environment configuration, and attaching the exported chat history JSON file may help diagnose the problem.

Guidance

  • Check the client version (0.38.1) and Git commit (7f5580034) for any known issues or updates that may be relevant to the problem.
  • Verify that the operating system (win32 v24.12.0) and model version (auto-gemini-3) are compatible with the client and API key (gemini-api-key) being used.
  • Review the memory usage (8.04 GB) to ensure it is within expected limits and not causing performance issues.
  • Consider testing the client in a sandbox environment to isolate the issue.

Notes

The lack of information in the "What happened?" and "Anything else we need to know?" sections makes it difficult to provide a more specific solution. The issue may be related to a specific feature or functionality that is not described.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Collect and analyze the exported chat history JSON file to gather more information about the issue, as requested in the issue description.
