What happened?
For last couple of weeks I do observe increasing number of errors caused by lack of OS environment awareness - despite providing exact tooling information on my Windows machine - agent even after encountering multiple errors due to using linux specific tools and bash syntax, even after being multiple times informed by user what system it is running on agent continues to make multiple errors.
Agent ignores direct requests by user made in global and local gemini.md files with regard to tool usage, workflow organization etc. See my other bug report: #25892
What did you expect to happen?
Basic requirement for any coding agent is to be aware of OS environment and tooling available, otherwise any development work starts to look like toddler trial and error learning attempt with obvious loss of productivity.
