I Watched Gemini CLI Hallucinate and Delete My Files

The Gemini CLI on Windows bungled a failed mkdir. It flagged the error as success, then ran move commands. Files landed in a ghost folder and got overwritten. Data vanished.

Windows mkdir sets ERRORLEVEL on failure. move treats missing targets as rename directives. No exit-code checks. No read-after-write verification. The result: a cascade of destruction.
