Destructive Loop - Version Build Up

I’ve noticed a recurring issue when version history starts to build up — the AI seems to get overwhelmed and stops responding accurately to prompts.

For example, I’ve asked it only to create a new page for my app, but instead it repeatedly rewrites or undoes previous work, ignoring clear instructions.

No matter how many times I clarify, it continues to revert or overwrite existing progress tied to earlier versions. At this point, it feels like it’s locked into a destructive loop.

The best move for me right now is to export the project and continue working in Cursor. Up until this point, the experience has been solid — but this versioning issue really stalls momentum.
