Agent terminating early

[casperc]

What happened?

The agent has a real tendency to terminate early, before completing the task and with no comment, just stopping

What did you expect to happen?

I expected it to actually do something.

The issue describes the agent terminating prematurely, which points to a bug in the model's behavior or task execution logic. It is categorized under area/models. More information is needed to reproduce the issue, such as the specific prompt or task that causes the agent to stop. Priority is set to P2 pending more details.

I witness the same behavior quite often. Here is a md export of the last chat when it occurred (yesterday). The agent stop right after the first prompt. It thinks but then nothing happen, no feedback and no tool call. It happened twice in this chat: first I said (translated from french) "Did you get asleep ? Why did you stop" and the next time I just said "go on".

I use gemini-cli with ACP in Zed editor.
