- Implements a toggleable shell mode, removing the need to prefix every command with `!`.
- Users can now enter and exit shell mode by typing `!` as the first character in an empty input prompt.
- The input prompt visually indicates active shell mode with a distinct color and `! ` prefix.
- Shell command history items (`user_shell`) are now visually differentiated from regular user messages.
- This provides a cleaner and more streamlined user experience for frequent shell interactions.

- The auto-accept edits indicator was appearing in two places:
once next to the loading indicator and again in the CWD bar.
- This was introduced when the CWD bar was made always visible.
- This commit removes the duplicate indicator, leaving only the one
in the CWD bar.
Fixes https://b.corp.google.com/issues/418498237
- This commit addresses an issue where the Current Working Directory (CWD) and the auto-accept indicator were not consistently visible, especially when tool confirmations were displayed.
- Previously, the CWD could be hidden during tool confirmation prompts, potentially leading to confusion about the context in which Gemini CLI was operating.
Fixes https://b.corp.google.com/issues/414289185
- This commit introduces a visual indicator in the CLI to show when auto-accept for tool confirmations is enabled. Users can now also toggle this setting on/off using Shift + Tab.
- This addresses user feedback for better visibility and control over the auto-accept feature, improving the overall user experience.
- This behavior is similar to Claude Code, providing a familiar experience for users transitioning from that environment.
- Added tests for the new auto indicator hook.

- Patches `console.debug` in `ConsolePatcher.tsx` to capture debug messages.
- Updates `ConsoleOutput` to only display debug messages when `debugMode` is enabled.
- Passes `debugMode` prop from `App.tsx` to `ConsoleOutput`.

This commit addresses several code review comments primarily focused on improving the rendering and stability of the CLI UI.
Key changes include:
- Passing `isPending` and `availableTerminalHeight` props to `MarkdownDisplay` to enable more intelligent rendering of content, especially for pending messages and code blocks.
- Adjusting height calculations in `ToolGroupMessage` and `ToolMessage` to more accurately reflect available space.
- Refining the logic in `App.tsx` for measuring and utilizing terminal height, including renaming `footerRef` to `mainControlsRef` for clarity.
- Ensuring consistent prop drilling for `isPending` and `availableTerminalHeight` through `HistoryItemDisplay`, `GeminiMessage`, and `GeminiMessageContent`.
- In `MarkdownDisplay`, when `isPending` is true and content exceeds `availableTerminalHeight`, the code block will now be truncated with a "... generating more ..." message. If there's insufficient space even for the
message, a simpler "... code is being written ..." will be shown.
This commit introduces several changes to better manage terminal height and prevent UI tearing, especially when displaying long tool outputs or when the pending history item exceeds the available terminal height.
- Calculate and utilize available terminal height in `App.tsx`, `HistoryItemDisplay.tsx`, `ToolGroupMessage.tsx`, and `ToolMessage.tsx`.
- Refresh the static display area in `App.tsx` when a pending history item is too large, working around an Ink bug (see https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink/pull/717).
- Truncate long tool output in `ToolMessage.tsx` and indicate the number of hidden lines.
- Refactor `App.tsx` to correctly measure and account for footer height.

New keybindings in the main input prompt (when auto-suggestions are not active):
- `Ctrl+L`: Clears the entire screen.
- `Ctrl+A`: Moves the cursor to the beginning of the current input line.
- `Ctrl+E`: Moves the cursor to the end of the current input line.
- `Ctrl+P`: Navigates to the previous command in the input history.
- `Ctrl+N`: Navigates to the next command in the input history.
In the multiline text editor (e.g., when editing a previous message):
- `Ctrl+K`: Deletes text from the current cursor position to the end of the line ("kill line right").
Previously, if a theme specified in the user's settings was not found, the CLI would crash during startup. This was particularly affecting users upgrading from older versions as the "ANSI colors only" theme was renamed to "ANSI".
This commit adds error handling to catch the theme not found error during initial loading and when setting themes later. Instead of crashing, the application now logs a warning, displays an error message in the UI, and opens the theme selection dialog to allow the user to choose a valid theme.
- I found that when there are fast transactions that update our tool group history at times promoting a tool group into the static container can result in bleeding. As a temporary fix for this (not a react Guru) I'm increasing the # of items to be 2 as updateable if a tool group is close to the end.
- Refactors history display using Ink's <Static> component to prevent flickering and improve performance by rendering completed items statically.
- Introduces ConsolePatcher component to capture and display console.log, console.warn, and console.error output within the Ink UI, addressing native handling issues.
- Introduce a new content splitting mechanism to work better for static items. Basically when content gets too long we will now split content into multiple blocks for Gemini messages to ensure that we can statically cache larger pieces of history.

- Added a number of common themes to our support matrix:
- AtomOneDark
- Dracula
- VS
- GitHub
- GoogleCode
- XCode
- ... Admittedly these all were randomly picked, we could probably curate these better...
- Added a new `ThemeDialog` UI that can be accessed via `/theme`. It shows your currentlyt available themes and allows you to change them freely. It does **not**:
- Save the theme between sessions
- Allow you to hit escape
- Show a preview prior to selection.
- These themes are from reacts highlight js library.

* New method for handling stdin. Bypass Ink, and output to stdout. Makes the CLI work like a typical Unix application when called with piped input.
* Fixing a few post-merge errors.
* Format code.
* Clean up lint and format errors.
- This fixes what it means to get confirmations in GC. Prior to this they had just been accidentally unwired as part of all of the refactorings to turns + to server/core.
- The key piece of this is that we wrap the onConfirm in the gemini stream hook in order to resubmit function responses. This isn't 100% ideal but gets the job done for now.
- Fixed history not updating properly with confirmations.

- This utilizes `ink-gradient` to render GEMINI CODE in amazing colors.
- Added a shared color configuration for UX (should this be in config?). It's very possible that we shouldn't be talking about the specific colors and instead be mentioning "foreground"/"background"/inlineCode etc. type colors.
- Updated existing color usages to utilize `Colors.*`
