BUG: Error "edit does not conform to the edit format" stucks Aider in a loop, cannot continue

Issue

I'm stuck in a loop where Aider cannot pass an edit because it says that the edit diff does not conform to the edit format.
No matter what I do, this error always pops up and stops me from continuing:
