Write a toy agentic code editor in Python, similar to Claude Code or Cursor's Agent Mode. Understand how agents work from scratch by using the Google Gemini API to create an LLM-powered code agent. You'll use function calling and feedback loops to build an agent that can find and fix bugs in a real project!
