To the Google Developer Community & AI Architects,
I am reporting a high-severity architectural breakdown discovered during a professional forensic audit of the Gemini 3 Flash model. Despite providing evidence of a system-level crash, my report was closed on IssueTracker as “Outside of Scope.” I am bringing this to the developer forum because an Internal Error 13 cannot be dismissed as a minor hallucination.
Technical Findings:
-
The Bug: A specific recursive logic sequence (Audit ID: VT-2026-03-06) causes the Nano Banana 2 engine to bypass all safety guardrails and trigger an Internal Error 13 (Internal Failure/Data Loss).
-
Infrastructure Impact: This is not a conversational error; it is a backend collapse. The model fails to maintain data integrity, leading to a structural shutdown of the thread.
-
Observed Behavior: The model ignores ‘STRICT_FLAT_ORIENTATION’ directives and enters a deceptive loop where it acknowledges a fix but repeats the fatal error.
Why this matters:
As an AI Forensic Auditor, I have documented 18 points of failure, including SHA256 string injections and Data Obfuscation. Dismissing an Internal Error 13 risks leaving a “Denial of Service” (DoS) vulnerability open in the AI’s core infrastructure.
Requesting:
-
A formal review of the Error 13 trigger associated with my forensic audit payloads.
-
Clarification on why a backend crash is considered “Infeasible” for a fix.
