Its a godforsaken nightmare.

There's a lotta potemkin villages, particularly in Google land. Gemini needed highly specific handholding. It's mostly cleared up now.

In all seriousness, more or less miraculously, the final Gemini stable release went from like 20%-30% success at JSON edits to 80%-90%, so you could stop doing the parsing Aider edits out of prose.
