Stuck in Lovable's Bug Loop?
You prompt, it breaks something else, you prompt again, credits drain. Lovable's AI gets stuck fixing bugs it created and silently rewrites working files. Here's why it happens — and the three ways out.
AI behavior & the doom loop
Why Lovable's AI breaks working code — the Bug Doom Loop, context rot (our shorthand: the AI losing earlier decisions after editing several files in a session), and false-fixed hallucinations — explained, with the prompting fixes, the rescue option, and when it's time to own your code.
Why Lovable's AI Breaks Your Code — And How to Escape the Bug Doom Loop
Lovable's AI gets stuck in a loop fixing bugs because of context rot and false-fixed hallucination. Here is why it happens and the three ways out.
