One signal

A user says Gemma 4 tool calls in the Bionic app can alter numbered folder paths or produce repetitive output after a file-system result. The report describes tests on macOS with Gemma 4 models running on Apple silicon.

Why it matters

The reported path changes include 1.input becoming input and 2.code becoming code. The user also says the same models and project worked correctly in LM Studio, so the report concerns Bionic, not an established LM Studio fault. This is an unconfirmed, setup-specific report, not a confirmed product defect. Still, anyone using Bionic with Gemma 4 for file operations has a concrete reason to check the paths and inspect outputs before relying on them.

Discuss: Should a tool-using model preserve file paths exactly, or is that something users must verify every time?
