What's Wrong?

"Tell them Claude spent 33+ minutes and 18k+ tokens debugging a Gradle build that was actually just an Android Studio version incompatibility. That's a legitimate complaint worth filing."

It suggested I report this with a link and said I deserved some tokens refunded to me.

What Should Happen?

Should check Android Studio version before wasting enormous amount of time and tokens.
