Bolt stops modifying files and executing terminal commands

[oldskewlcool]

Describe the bug

At some point in a multi-turn conversation Bolt stops editing files or running commands.

The LLM continues to output artifacts the same way but Bolt stops processing them and taking action.

Link to the Bolt URL that caused the error

http://localhost:5173/chat/3

Steps to reproduce

Start a new Bolt chat.

Keep revising the code for ~20-30+ turns

At some point Bolt stops taking action on the code.

Exact dialog used is attached.

chat-2025-03-11T23_50_37.061Z.json

Expected behavior

Bolt keeps making changes to files and executing terminal commands after every response from the LLM.

Screen Recording / Screenshot

Screenshots showing working normally (checklist of actions taken) which at some point in the conversation is replaced by output showing no actions taken.

Platform

OS: Arch Linux
Browser: Chrome Canary 136.0.7054.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit)
Bolt Version: 0.7
Bolt Install Method: Git / pnpm start

Provider Used

Ollama

Model Used

qwq:32b-q8_0 / qwen2.5-coder:32b-instruct-q6k / qwen2.5-coder:32b

Additional context

Starting a new project with any of these models works as expected - models return correctly formatted artifacts, Bolt takes actions to create / modify files and run terminal commands

Forking the long conversation the stops taking action at the last time Bolt took action continues to result in Bolt taking no action (no files updated, no terminal commands run)

Afaik Ollama behavior is to silently discard context over the model setting which presumably degrades the responses as the project evolves past the context window but the output format should remain the same so unclear why changes at some point stop being applied by Bolt.
