Problem: Google AI Studio's Recent Auto-Save Feature Is Breaking Cautious Coding Workflows

Today, I saw that after certain code changes @GoogleAIStudio instantly auto-saves my app, without my approval. This is problematic: the user should always retain full control over when the app is saved.

For instance, if the Assistant makes a coding mistake (or even removes significant parts of the code, which unfortunately does occur) restoring the previous code or reverting to an earlier checkpoint is challenging or even impossible if the app has been saved.

Hence, the decision to save the app should be made by the user, as they determine the appropriate moment to commit the code they are satisfied with.

What is the result in the end?
Will auto-save be MANDATORY or not?

yes please save us from this problem, every time i need to cancel the auto save by my self or other wise it will save the app without me checking and approve it. This is really frustrating. Please remove this feature or make it optional for users. Thanks
