I have tried again step by step with what you said here, copy pasted the prompt even and after a couple changes here and there it loses the plot and gets stuck and seemingly no amount of prompting can get it out.
To make sure I tried 3 times in a row. Same result.
Well, not conpletely Emperor’s New Clothes: after I got my basic chess clock, I asked for skeuomorphic changes…I got a fantastic “next steps” summary in return…but when I said “Go on ahead, your choice,” it created an incompatible dependency nest trying to add clicky sounds.
Gemini actually dug me out of it, though, with additional prompting (this kind of surprised me; I assumed I’d have to eventually really step in). After all that distraction, though, I had to reset the convo to get it to focus on the files again.

I feel like in the emperors new clothes story.
