Gemini 2.5 - <environment_details> showing up in code

[pmsteil]

What happened?

Keep getting this at the end of a code file:

</final_file_content>

IMPORTANT: For any future changes to this file, use the final_file_content shown above as your reference. This content reflects the current state of the file, including any auto-formatting (e.g., if you used single quotes but the formatter converted them to double quotes). Always base your SEARCH/REPLACE operations on this final version to ensure accuracy.

Okay, it seems the file modification tools are consistently causing issues. I apologize for the repeated failures and syntax errors introduced.

Let's try the most robust approach:

I will use the content from the last successful read_file result (which contains the debug code and longer sleep times).
I will manually edit this content to remove the debug print statements and revert the time.sleep delays back to 0.5 seconds within the handle_manual_mapping function.
I will use write_to_file with this carefully corrected full content.

But it keeps happening unless I manually remove that bad code...

Steps to reproduce

1. Just doing normal code changes to a 1455 line python code file...

Hello,

Could you provide more information? What provider/model is this occurring on?

[Arsapol]

Hi @frostbournesb ,

I also face this problem by using gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25 model.

It will generate tag like @pmsteil said below of files that it take edit actions in sometimes.

And it cannot always success in fixing it by itself. So I have to stop it and remove those tag for it.

Happens quite a bit here as well

Happens to me quite often - I'll get the whole <environment_details> block with gemini-2.5-pro-preview-05-06. Seems to start happening more often later into a long task.

Also getting this error quite often
