## Why did aider ignore/discard its proposed edits after it asked to add a new file to the chat?
If aider prompts you to add a new file to the chat and you say yes,
it will re-submit the original request.
The fact that the LLM's reply indicated that it needed to see another file (and you said yes)
is often a sign that the LLM should have been able to see/edit that file in the first place.
Without access to it, there is increased chance that it's done a bad implementation of the requested change.
Often LLMs will hallucinate content for the files they needed but didn't have.
So aider re-submits the original request in this situation.
## Why does aider sometimes stop highlighting code in its replies?
Aider displays the markdown responses that are coming back from the LLM.
