@davep reminds me of the “argument” I had with Gemini about a parameter file on GitHub that I asked Gemini to review. It confidently and persistently claimed the item on the sixth line was indented with an extra space.After the third “you are right, I was wrong, I’ll try to do better”, I told Gemini goodbye. It should have disclosed that it was not actually reading the file.I hope you have better luck asking it to review files.

    @cyclical_obsessive At least with a local CLI app, or even via GitHub Copilot on GitHub itself, it’ll absolutely read and analyse the file. I’ve found Gemini CLI has been a good tool for looking for refactoring possibilities.
