TL;DR

The issue may be related to the client or model version, and attaching the exported chat history JSON file could help diagnose the problem.

Guidance

  • The client version (0.38.1) and model version (gemini-3-flash-preview) may be contributing to the issue, and checking for updates or compatibility issues could be helpful.
  • Attaching the exported chat history JSON file to the issue could provide more context and aid in diagnosing the problem.
  • Verifying the OAuth authentication and permissions may also be necessary to ensure that the issue is not related to authentication.

Notes

The provided information is limited, and without the exported chat history JSON file or more details about the issue, it is difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Attach the exported chat history JSON file to the issue to help diagnose the problem, as it may provide valuable context and aid in identifying the root cause.
