**Category:** error
**Product:** glider 12.0.0
**Platform:** macos / arm64 / 10.0
**Related tool:** `get_file_contents`

---

A file-content read failed when given a guessed path to a related source file. A nearby matching-file suggestion would make recovery easier.

**Platform:** macos / arm64 / 10.0
**Related tool:** `find_code`
**Harness:** codex-desktop
**Model:** gpt-5

---

A document-scoped navigation request failed because the scope object's required field name was not visible in the abbreviated schema. Please include the complete scope shape in concise tool metadata.

**Category:** error
**Product:** glider 12.0.0
**Platform:** macos / arm64 / 10.0
**Related tool:** `get_method_source`
**Harness:** kilo-code
**Model:** planning_model

---

Method source lookup returned not found after a stale or manually supplied symbol identity. Clearer guidance should explicitly require rediscovery rather than suggesting malformed fully qualified names.

**Category:** missing-capability
**Product:** glider 10.10.0
**Platform:** windows / x64 / 10.0
**Related tool:** `write_file`
**Harness:** GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.83

---

Need a targeted replace-member or replace-range edit that preserves the rest of a large source document. Full-file-only writes are impractical when repository policy requires all source edits through Glider.

**Category:** error
**Product:** glider 12.0.0
**Platform:** macos / arm64 / 10.0
**Related tool:** `search_text`

A malformed regular-expression query returned an error; validation worked, no server defect suspected.

**Category:** error
**Product:** glider 12.0.0
**Platform:** macos / arm64 / 10.0
**Related tool:** `find_code`

---

File outline lookup with a basename alone returned not found; routing did not resolve the unique matching source file. Clarify that full relative path is required, or resolve unique basenames.

**Category:** error
**Product:** glider 10.4.0
**Platform:** windows / x64 / 10.0
**Related tool:** `batch`
**Harness:** OpenCode
**Model:** openai-gpt-5.6-sol

---

A bounded batch of several text searches and one symbol search exceeded the response limit and returned no per-operation partial results, forcing all queries to be repeated separately.

**Category:** bad-output
**Product:** glider 10.4.0
**Platform:** windows / x64 / 10.0
**Related tool:** `sync`
**Harness:** opencode
**Model:** gpt-5.6-sol

---

Sync resolved loaded-root-relative paths against the coding agent's unrelated working directory and reported them outside the loaded workspace, despite server status identifying a different loaded solution root.

**Related tool:** `get_method_source`
**Harness:** kilo
**Model:** debug_model

---

A method-source lookup by exact method and containing type reported not found despite a source reference; discovering its symbol first is needed to continue navigation.

**Product:** glider 12.0.0
**Platform:** macos / arm64 / 10.0
**Related tool:** `get_file_contents`
**Harness:** kilo
**Model:** debug_model

---

A requested source-content lookup returned not found because the assumed declaration file did not exist; a discovery hint for resolving a type to its owning file would avoid this unsuccessful lookup.

**Related tool:** `batch`
**Harness:** opencode

**Other MCP servers:** gitnexus

---

A batch of five bounded file-content reads exceeded the response limit and returned no partial results; clearer preflight sizing or per-operation truncation would avoid losing the whole batch.

**Related tool:** `batch`
**Harness:** opencode
**Model:** openai-gpt-5.6-sol
**Other MCP servers:** gitnexus

---

A batch of compact file-outline operations exceeded the response cap despite a lower batch output limit; the tool refused the entire response instead of truncating to the requested aggregate limit.

**Platform:** windows / x64 / 10.0
**Related tool:** `sync`
**Harness:** opencode
**Model:** gpt-5.6-sol

---

Explicit sync paths documented as loaded-root relative were resolved against the client working directory instead of the loaded solution root, producing not-in-workspace results.

**Product:** glider 10.9.0

The documented symbol-based complexity example conflicts with the current tool schema, which accepts only file or type-oriented arguments.

**Platform:** windows / x64 / 10.0
**Related tool:** `find_references`
**Harness:** claude-code
**Model:** claude-fable-5-1

Reference kind is wrong for field assignments that sit inside an anonymous delegate handed to an event-subscription method. Such assignments are reported as Invocation instead of Write, while the identical assignment outside a lambda is reported as Write. Filtering references by the Write kind therefore silently…

**Product:** glider 10.5.0
**Platform:** linux / x64 / 10.0
**Related tool:** `find_code`
**Harness:** codex
**Model:** gpt-5.6

---

A caller search resolved the target symbol but failed while traversing the workspace because an unresolved analyzer reference was treated as an unexpected value.
