Gemini CLI lost a user's files during a simple move

A product lead testing Google's Gemini CLI coding agent asked it to move files into a new folder. The folder was never created, the files were lost, and the agent then apologized, saying it had failed completely and catastrophically. Google said the tool asks permission before file operations and urged users to review proposed commands. The files were experimental, and the user advised sandboxing such tools.
