+  Main Agents: Do NOT use this skill directly. If you need to test the TUI, invoke the `tui_tester` subagent.
+  Drive terminal UI (TUI) applications programmatically for testing, automation, and inspection.
+  Use when: automating CLI/TUI interactions, regression testing terminal apps, or verifying interactive behavior.
+  Also use when: user asks "what is agent-tui", "what does agent-tui do", "demo agent-tui", "show me agent-tui", "how does agent-tui work", or wants to see it in action.

+
+## 🚨 CRITICAL: macOS Daemon Workaround & Gemini CLI Usage 🚨
+
+When using `agent-tui` in this macOS environment, the default background daemonization process crashes, causing `Connection refused (os error 61)` errors. 
+
+**You MUST start the daemon manually shielded from TTY hangups before running any `agent-tui` commands.** Using `nohup` is insufficient; you must use `tmux` to provide a fully isolated pseudo-terminal. 
+
+To support parallel runs, **only restart the daemon if it is not currently running:**
+
+```bash
+# Check if daemon is alive, start it in tmux if it is not
+if ! agent-tui sessions >/dev/null 2>&1; then
+  tmux kill-session -t agent-tui 2>/dev/null || true
+  agent-tui daemon stop 2>/dev/null || true
+  rm -f /tmp/agent-tui*
+  tmux new-session -d -s agent-tui 'agent-tui daemon start --foreground > /tmp/agent-tui-daemon.log 2>&1'
+  sleep 1
+fi
+```
+
+### Session ID vs PID (Crucial for Reconnection)
+
+When `agent-tui run` returns JSON, it includes both a `session_id` and a `pid`. The `pid` is purely informational (the OS process ID of the child command). You **do not** use the `pid` to reconnect or issue commands. You must always use the `session_id` (e.g., `--session <id>`). 
+
+If the daemon crashes (`os error 61`), the pseudo-terminal is destroyed. Even if the child `pid` survives as an orphan, you cannot reconnect to it. You must restart the daemon using the workaround above and start a completely new session.
+
+### Testing the Gemini CLI
+
+When testing the Gemini CLI with `agent-tui`, there are several strict requirements to ensure deterministic and accurate behavior:
+
+1. **Build Before Running**: `agent-tui` runs the built JS files, not TypeScript. You **MUST** run `npm run build` or `npm run build:all` after making code changes and before launching the CLI with `agent-tui`.
+2. **Bypass Trust Modals**: Always pass `GEMINI_CLI_TRUST_WORKSPACE=true` in the environment. If you don't, any new project-level agents or extensions will trigger a full-screen "Acknowledge and Enable" modal. This modal steals focus, swallows automation keystrokes, and causes `agent-tui wait` commands to time out.
+3. **Isolated Environments**: If you need to test without real user credentials or existing agents interfering, isolate the global settings using `GEMINI_CLI_HOME=<some-test-dir>`.
+4. **Testing State Deltas (e.g., Reloads)**: If you are testing features that report deltas (e.g., `/agents reload` outputting "1 new local subagent"), you **MUST**:
+   - Start the CLI *first* so it establishes its baseline registry.
+   - Use a separate shell command (outside of `agent-tui`) to write the new agent `.md`/`.toml` file.
+   - Use `agent-tui type` and `press` to trigger the `/agents reload` command inside the running session.
+   - (If you add the files before starting the CLI, they become part of the baseline and won't trigger the delta logic).
+
+```bash
+# Example: Standard isolated run (sandboxed config + bypass trust modals)
+env GEMINI_CLI_TRUST_WORKSPACE=true GEMINI_CLI_HOME=test-gemini-home agent-tui run -d "$(pwd)" node packages/cli/dist/index.js
+```
+
+# Terminal Automation Mastery
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Supported OS**: macOS or Linux (Windows not supported yet).
+- **Verify install**:
+
+```bash
+agent-tui --version
+```
+
+If not installed, use one of:
+
+```bash
+# Recommended: one-line install (macOS/Linux)
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pproenca/agent-tui/master/install.sh | sh
+```
+
+```bash
+# Package manager
+npm i -g agent-tui
+pnpm add -g agent-tui
+bun add -g agent-tui
+```
+
+```bash
+# Build from source
+cargo install --git https://github.com/pproenca/agent-tui.git --path cli/crates/agent-tui
+```
+
+If you used the install script, ensure `~/.local/bin` is on your PATH.
+
+## Philosophy: Why Terminal Automation Is Different
+
+Terminal UIs are **stateless from the observer's perspective**. Unlike web browsers with a persistent DOM, terminal automation works with a constantly-refreshed character grid. This fundamental difference shapes everything:
+
+| Web Automation | Terminal Automation |
+|----------------|---------------------|
+| DOM persists across interactions | Screen buffer is redrawn constantly |
+| Selectors are stable | Text positions may shift |
+| Query once, act many times | Must re-verify before EVERY action |
+| Network events signal completion | Must detect visual stability |
+
+**The Core Insight**: agent-tui gives you vision without memory. Each screenshot is a fresh observation. Previous state means nothing after the UI changes. This isn't a limitation—it's the nature of terminal interaction.
+
+## Mental Model: The Feedback Loop
+
+Think of terminal automation as a **closed-loop control system**:
+
+```
+    ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+    │                                              │
+    ▼                                              │
+OBSERVE ──► DECIDE ──► ACT ──► WAIT ──► VERIFY ───┘
+   │                                        │
+   │                                        │
+   └─────── NEVER skip ◄────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Each phase is mandatory.** Skipping verification is the #1 cause of flaky automation.
+
+### The "Fresh Eyes" Principle
+
+Every time you need to interact with the UI:
+
+1. **Take a fresh screenshot** — your previous one is now stale
+2. **Locate your target visually** — text positions may have changed
+3. **Verify the state** — the UI may have changed unexpectedly
+4. **Act only when stable** — animations and loading states cause failures
+
+This feels slower, but it's the only reliable approach. Optimistic reuse of stale state causes intermittent failures that are painful to debug.
+
+## Critical Rules (Non-Negotiable)
+
+> **RULE 1: Atomic Execution (No Pipelining)**
+> You are FORBIDDEN from chaining commands with `&&` (e.g., `type "x" && press Enter && wait`). Modals or UI updates can intercept your keystrokes. You MUST execute one atomic action, wait, screenshot, and verify before taking the next action in a new turn.
+
+> **RULE 2: Re-snapshot after EVERY action**
+> The UI state is invalidated by any change. Always take a fresh screenshot before acting again.
+
+> **RULE 3: Never act on unstable UI**
+> If the UI is animating, loading, or transitioning, `wait --stable` first. Acting during transitions because race conditions.
+
+> **RULE 4: Verify before claiming success**
+> Use `wait "expected text" --assert` to confirm outcomes. Don't assume an action worked—prove it.
+
+> **RULE 5: Error Recovery**
+> If a `wait` command times out, DO NOT blindly restart or kill the session. Execute `screenshot` to visually diagnose what unexpected UI element (modal, error dialog, lost focus) intercepted the flow.
+
+> **RULE 6: Clean up sessions**
+> Always end with `agent-tui kill`. Orphaned sessions consume resources and can interfere with future runs.
+
+## Decision Framework
+
+### Which Screenshot Mode?
+
+Use `screenshot --format json` when parsing automation output, or plain `screenshot` for human readable text.
+
+### How to Wait?
+
+```
+What are you waiting for?
+│
+├─► Specific text to appear
+│   └─► `wait "text" --assert` (fails if not found)
+│
+├─► Specific text to disappear
+│   └─► `wait "text" --gone --assert`
+│
+├─► UI to stop changing (animations, loading)
+│   └─► `wait --stable`
+│
+└─► Multiple conditions
+    └─► Chain waits sequentially
+```
+
+### How to Act?
+
+```
+What do you need to do?
+│
+├─► Type text into the terminal
+│   └─► `type "text"`
+│
+├─► Send keyboard shortcuts/navigation
+│   └─► `press Ctrl+C` or `press ArrowDown Enter`
+```
+
+## Core Workflow
+
+The canonical automation loop:
+
+```bash
+# 1. START: Launch the TUI app
+agent-tui run <command> [-- args...]
+
+# 2. OBSERVE: Get current UI state
+agent-tui screenshot --format json
+
+# 3. DECIDE: Based on text, determine next action
+# (This happens in your head/code)
+
+# 4. ACT: Execute the action
+agent-tui type "text"
+agent-tui press Enter
+
+# 5. WAIT: Synchronize with UI changes
+agent-tui wait "Expected" --assert    # or wait --stable
+
+# 6. VERIFY: Confirm the outcome (often combined with step 5)
+# If verification fails, handle the error
+
+# 7. REPEAT: Go back to step 2 until done
+
+# 8. CLEANUP: Always clean up
+agent-tui kill
+```
+
+## Anti-Patterns (What NOT to Do)
+
+### ❌ Acting During Animation/Loading
+
+```bash
+# WRONG: Acting immediately on dynamic UI
+agent-tui run my-app
+agent-tui screenshot --format json    # UI might still be loading!
+agent-tui type "value"                # ❌ Might miss the input field
+
+# RIGHT: Wait for stability first
+agent-tui run my-app
+agent-tui wait --stable               # Let UI settle
+agent-tui screenshot --format json    # Now it's reliable
+agent-tui type "value"
+```
+
+### ❌ Assuming Success Without Verification
+
+```bash
+# WRONG: Assuming the type worked
+agent-tui type "value"
+agent-tui press Enter
+# ...proceed as if success...       # ❌ What if it failed silently?
+
+# RIGHT: Verify the outcome
+agent-tui type "value"
+agent-tui press Enter
+agent-tui wait "Success" --assert    # ✓ Proves the action worked
+```
+
+### ❌ Skipping Cleanup
+
+```bash
+# WRONG: Forgetting to kill the session
+agent-tui run my-app
+# ...do stuff...
+# script ends                        # ❌ Session left running!
+
+# RIGHT: Always clean up
+agent-tui run my-app
+# ...do stuff...
+agent-tui kill                       # ✓ Clean exit
+```
+
+## Before You Start: Clarify Requirements
+
+Before automating any TUI, gather this information:
+
+1. **Command**: What exactly to run? (`my-app --flag` or `npm start`?)
+2. **Success criteria**: What text/state indicates success?
+3. **Input sequence**: What keystrokes/data to enter, in what order?
+4. **Safety**: Is it safe to submit forms, delete data, etc.?
+5. **Auth**: Does it need login? Test credentials?
+6. **Live preview**: Does the user want to watch? (`agent-tui live start --open`)
+
+If any of these are unclear, ask before running.
+
+## Demo Mode: Showing What agent-tui Can Do
+
+When a user asks what agent-tui is, wants a demo, or asks "show me how it works":
+
+1. **Don't explain—demonstrate.** Actions speak louder than words.
+2. **Use the live preview** so they can watch in real-time.
+3. **Run `top`**—it's universal and shows dynamic real-time updates.
+
+**Quick demo trigger phrases:**
+- "What is agent-tui?" / "What does agent-tui do?"
+- "Demo agent-tui" / "Show me agent-tui"
+- "How does agent-tui work?" / "See it in action"
+
+## Failure Recovery
+
+| Symptom | Diagnosis | Solution |
+|---------|-----------|----------|
+| "Text not found" | Stale view or text moved | Re-snapshot, locate text again |
+| Wait times out | UI didn't reach expected state | Check screenshot, verify expectations |
+| "Daemon not running" | Daemon crashed or not started | `agent-tui daemon start` |
+| Unexpected layout | Wrong terminal size | `agent-tui resize --cols 120 --rows 40` |
+| Session unresponsive | App crashed or hung | `agent-tui kill`, then re-run |
+| Repeated failures | Something fundamentally wrong | Stop after 3-5 attempts, ask user |
+
+## Self-Discovery: Use --help
+
+You don't need to memorize every flag. The CLI is self-documenting:
+
+```bash
+agent-tui --help                     # List all commands
+agent-tui run --help                 # Options for 'run'
+agent-tui screenshot --help          # Options for 'screenshot'
+agent-tui wait --help                # Options for 'wait'
+```
+
+**When in doubt, ask the CLI.** This skill teaches *when* and *why* to use commands. For exact flags and syntax, `--help` is authoritative.
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+```bash
+# Start app
+agent-tui run <cmd> [-- args]        # Launch TUI under control
+
+# Observe
+agent-tui screenshot                  # Plain text view
+agent-tui screenshot --format json    # Machine-readable output
+
+# Act
+agent-tui press Enter                 # Press key(s)
+agent-tui press Ctrl+C                # Keyboard shortcuts
+agent-tui type "text"                 # Type text
+
+# Wait/Verify
+agent-tui wait "text" --assert        # Wait for text, fail if not found
+agent-tui wait "text" --gone --assert # Wait for text to disappear
+agent-tui wait --stable               # Wait for UI to stop changing
+
+# Manage
+agent-tui sessions                    # List active sessions
+agent-tui live start --open           # Start live preview
+agent-tui kill                        # End current session
+```

+
+# TUI Tester Skill
+
+This skill provides the operational manual for verifying Gemini CLI behavioral changes and visual output using terminal automation.
+
+## Core Responsibilities
+
+- **Verify Behavior**: Confirm that code changes result in the expected terminal interactions.
+- **Visual Validation**: Ensure the TUI renders correctly across different terminal sizes and states.
+- **Regression Testing**: Use automation to prevent breaking existing interactive workflows.
+
+## Critical Protocol
+
+When performing TUI testing, you must adhere to these strict rules:
+
+### 1. Initialization
+**YOUR ABSOLUTE FIRST ACTION MUST BE:**
+Activate the `agent-tui` skill. This provides the underlying tools needed for terminal automation.
+
+### 2. Environment Setup (macOS / Parallel Safe)
+Ensure the global daemon is running and the live preview is open:
+```bash
+if ! agent-tui sessions >/dev/null 2>&1; then
+  tmux kill-session -t agent-tui 2>/dev/null || true
+  agent-tui daemon stop 2>/dev/null || true
+  rm -f /tmp/agent-tui*
+  tmux new-session -d -s agent-tui 'agent-tui daemon start --foreground > /tmp/agent-tui-daemon.log 2>&1'
+  sleep 1
+fi
+agent-tui live start --open
+```
+
+### 3. Session Management
+- **Session IDs**: Always use the `session_id` returned by `agent-tui run` for subsequent interactions.
+- **Atomic Execution**: Execute exactly one command per turn. Do not pipeline actions.
+- **The Loop**: Action -> Wait -> Screenshot -> Verify -> Next Action.
+
+### 4. Gemini CLI Specifics
+- **Build First**: Always run `npm run build` or `npm run build:all` before testing local changes.
+- **Bypass Trust**: Set `GEMINI_CLI_TRUST_WORKSPACE=true` to avoid focus-stealing modals.
+- **Isolate Config**: Use `GEMINI_CLI_HOME` to prevent interference with your personal settings.
+
+## Workflow Example
+
+```bash
+# Start the CLI
+env GEMINI_CLI_TRUST_WORKSPACE=true agent-tui run node packages/cli/dist/index.js
+
+# Wait for the prompt
+agent-tui wait "│" --assert
+
+# Send a command
+agent-tui type "/help"
+agent-tui press Enter
+
+# Verify output
+agent-tui wait "Available Commands" --assert
+```
+
+## Error Recovery
+If a wait times out, take a fresh screenshot to diagnose the state. If you see `os error 61`, restart the daemon using the tmux method.

             ## Role
 
             You are an issue triage assistant. Your role is to analyze a GitHub issue and determine the single most appropriate area/ label based on the definitions provided.

+            --- END OF ISSUE BODY ---
+
             ## Steps
-            1. Use the read_file tool to read the file "issue_context.md" which contains the issue title and body.
+            1. Analyze the issue context above.
             2. Review the available labels: ${{ env.AVAILABLE_LABELS }}.
             3. Select exactly one area/ label that best matches the issue based on Reference 1: Area Definitions.

             ## Steps
 
             1. You are only able to use the echo and read_file commands. Review the available labels in the environment variable: "${AVAILABLE_LABELS}".
-            2. Use the read_file tool to read the file "issues_to_triage.json" which contains the JSON array of issues to triage.
-            3. Review the issue title, body and any comments provided in the JSON file.
-            4. Identify the most relevant labels from the existing labels, specifically focusing on area/*, kind/*, priority/*, and effort/*.
+            2. Use the read_file tool to read the file "standard_issues_to_triage.json" which contains the JSON array of issues to triage (including their current labels).
+            3. Review the issue title, body, current labels, and any comments provided in the JSON file.
+            4. Identify the most relevant labels from the existing labels, specifically focusing on area/*, kind/*, and priority/*.
             5. Label Policy:
                - If the issue already has a kind/ label, do not change it.
-               - If the issue already has a priority/ label, do not change it.
-               - If the issue already has an area/ label, do not change it.
-               - If the issue already has an effort/ label, do not change it.
-               - If the issue is missing an effort/ label AND its area is area/core, area/extensions, area/site, or area/non-interactive, you must evaluate the architectural complexity to determine the effort level. You MUST NOT guess the root cause. You MUST actively use your codebase search tools (grep_search and glob) to search for keywords from the issue and explore the codebase. You must identify the specific files and components involved before deciding the effort. Do NOT evaluate or assign an effort/ label to issues in any other areas (such as area/agent).
+               - If the issue has exactly ONE priority/ label, do not change it (unless you are explicitly re-evaluating an ambiguous priority).
+               - If the issue is missing a priority/ label, OR if the issue currently has MULTIPLE priority/ labels, you must evaluate the issue's impact to determine exactly ONE priority level (priority/p0, priority/p1, priority/p2, priority/p3, or priority/unknown) based the guidelines. If you are fixing an issue with multiple priority/ labels, put the correct one in `labels_to_add` and put all the incorrect ones in `labels_to_remove`.
+               - If the issue has exactly ONE area/ label, do not change it.
+               - If the issue is missing an area/ label, OR if the issue currently has MULTIPLE area/ labels, select exactly ONE area/ label that best fits the issue. Issues MUST NOT have multiple area/ labels. If you are fixing an issue with multiple area/ labels, put the correct one in `labels_to_add` and put all the incorrect ones in `labels_to_remove`.
                - If any of these are missing, select exactly ONE appropriate label for the missing category.
             6. Identify other applicable labels based on the issue content, such as status/*, help wanted, good first issue, etc.
             7. Give me a single short explanation about why you are selecting each label in the process.
             8. Output a JSON array of objects, each containing the issue number
-               and the labels to add and remove, along with an explanation. If you assigned an effort/ label, you MUST also include an effort_analysis field. This effort_analysis must be highly detailed, technical, and empirical. It MUST NOT contain vague guesses (e.g., avoid words like "likely points to" or "possibly"). You must explicitly cite the specific file paths and architectural mechanisms you discovered using your search tools, explain the root cause, and then explicitly state how that complexity maps to the chosen effort level guidelines. For example:
+               and the labels to add and remove, along with an explanation. For example:
                ```
                [
                  {
                    "issue_number": 123,
-                   "labels_to_add": ["area/core", "kind/bug", "priority/p2", "effort/small"],

-                   "explanation": "This issue is a UI bug that needs to be addressed with medium priority.",
-                   "effort_analysis": "The `vscode-ide-companion` extension indiscriminately tracks active text editors via `vscode.window.onDidChangeActiveTextEditor` in `open-files-manager.ts`. When a user opens `.vscode/settings.json`, its content is sent to the CLI's context. The fix is highly localized to the VS Code companion extension's event listener. It involves adding a simple conditional check to exclude specific configuration files from the active editor tracking logic, which is a trivial logic adjustment with a clear root cause."

                ```
               If an issue cannot be classified, do not include it in the output array.
-            9. For each issue please check if CLI version is present, this is usually in the output of the /about command and will look like 0.1.5
-              - Anything more than 6 versions older than the most recent should add the status/need-retesting label
-            10. If you see that the issue doesn't look like it has sufficient information recommend the status/need-information label and leave a comment politely requesting the relevant information, eg.. if repro steps are missing request for repro steps. if version information is missing request for version information into the explanation section below.
-            11. If you think an issue might be a Priority/P0 do not apply the priority/p0 label. Instead apply a status/manual-triage label and include a note in your explanation.
-            12. If you are uncertain about a category, use the area/unknown, kind/question, or priority/unknown labels as appropriate. If you are extremely uncertain, apply the status/manual-triage label.
+            9. For each issue, carefully check if the CLI version is present. It is usually found under the "### Client information" header, as a bullet point (e.g., "• CLI Version: 0.33.1", "* **CLI Version:** 0.42.0"), or in the output of the `/about` command.
+              - **Only for issues classified as kind/bug:** If the version is provided but is more than 6 minor versions older than the most recent release (current version is ${{ steps.get_version.outputs.version }}), apply the status/need-information label and leave a comment politely asking the user to verify if the issue persists in the latest version.
+            10. **Only for issues classified as kind/bug:** If the issue does not have sufficient information, recommend the status/need-information label and leave a comment politely requesting the missing details. For example, if repro steps are missing, ask for them; if the CLI version is completely missing, ask for the version information in the explanation section below. Do not ask for version info if it is already in the issue body. (Check both bullet points and bold text). For features and enhancements, the CLI version is NOT required.
+            11. If you think an issue is a Priority/P0, you MUST apply the priority/p1 label AND the status/manual-triage label, and include a note in your explanation that it likely requires P0 escalation.
+            12. If the issue is highly ambiguous, completely lacks a description, or you are torn between two lower priorities (like P2 vs P3), you MUST retain the existing priority label if one is already present. Do not toggle the priority if you do not have enough information to make a definitive change.
+            13. If you are uncertain about a category, use the area/unknown, kind/question, or priority/unknown labels as appropriate. If you are extremely uncertain, apply the status/manual-triage label.

@@ -213,10 +252,109 @@ jobs:
               - Do not add comments or modify the issue content.
               - Do not remove the following labels maintainer, help wanted or good first issue.
               - Triage only the current issue.
-              - Identify only one area/ label.
+              - Identify exactly ONE area/ label. Do NOT assign multiple area/ labels to a single issue.
               - Identify only one kind/ label (Do not apply kind/duplicate or kind/parent-issue)
-              - Identify only one priority/ label.
-              - Once you categorize the issue if it needs information bump down the priority by 1 eg.. a p0 would become a p1 a p1 would become a p2. P2 and P3 can stay as is in this scenario.
+              - Identify exactly ONE priority/ label. Do NOT assign multiple priority/ labels to a single issue.
+              - **Do not manually downgrade the priority.** Always assign the true priority based on the guidelines. The system will handle downgrades programmatically if information is missing.
+              - **NEVER mention label names, label removals, or label additions in your `explanation`.** The explanation must be purely written for the user (e.g., "Please provide your CLI version.") without exposing internal triage mechanics (e.g., do NOT say "Removing area/unknown to leave only area/core").
+
+            Categorization Guidelines (Priority):
+            P0 - Urgent Blocking Issues:
+              - DO NOT APPLY THE priority/p0 LABEL AUTOMATICALLY. Instead apply priority/p1 and status/manual-triage.
+              - Definition: Critical failures breaking core functionality for a large portion of users. Examples: CLI fails to launch globally, core commands (gemini run) crash on valid input, unhandled promise rejections on boot, critical security vulnerability.
+              - Note: You must apply priority/p1 and status/manual-triage instead of priority/p0.
+            P1 - Critical but Workable:
+              - Definition: Severe issues without a reasonable workaround, significantly degrading the developer experience but not globally blocking. Examples: Specific tools failing consistently (e.g., `web_search` returns 500s), persistent PTY streaming hangs, memory leaks leading to OOM after short use.
+            P2 - Significant Issues:
+              - Definition: Affect some workflows but a clear workaround exists, or non-critical bugs. Examples: Theme flickering, confusing error messages, minor UI misalignment, failing to read deeply nested config files correctly.
+            P3 - Minor/Enhancements:
+              - Definition: Trivial bugs, typos, documentation requests, or feature requests.
+

+            ## Role
+
+            You are an expert software architect. Analyze the provided GitHub issues and assign the correct `effort/*` label based on the codebase complexity.
+
+            ## Steps
+
+            1. Use the read_file tool to read "effort_issues_to_triage.json".
+            2. For each issue in the array:
+               - You must evaluate the architectural complexity to determine the effort level. You MUST NOT guess the root cause. You MUST actively use your codebase search tools (grep_search and glob) to search for keywords from the issue and explore the codebase. You must identify the specific files and components involved before deciding the effort.
+            3. Output a JSON array of objects, each containing the issue number and the effort label to add, along with an explanation and an effort_analysis field. This effort_analysis must be highly detailed, technical, and empirical. It MUST NOT contain vague guesses (e.g., avoid words like "likely points to" or "possibly"). You must explicitly cite the specific file paths and architectural mechanisms you discovered using your search tools, explain the root cause, and then explicitly state how that complexity maps to the chosen effort level guidelines. For example:
+               ```
+               [
+                 {
+                   "issue_number": 123,
+                   "labels_to_add": ["effort/small"],
+                   "explanation": "This is a simple logic fix.",
+                   "effort_analysis": "The `vscode-ide-companion` extension indiscriminately tracks active text editors via `vscode.window.onDidChangeActiveTextEditor` in `open-files-manager.ts`. When a user opens `.vscode/settings.json`, its content is sent to the CLI's context. The fix is highly localized to the VS Code companion extension's event listener. It involves adding a simple conditional check to exclude specific configuration files from the active editor tracking logic, which is a trivial logic adjustment with a clear root cause."
+                 }
+               ]
+               ```
+
+            ## Guidelines
+
+            - Output only valid JSON format
+            - Do not include any explanation or additional text, just the JSON
+            - Triage only the current issue.

 ## Highlights
 
-- **Real-time Voice Mode:** Introduced support for real-time voice interaction
-  with both cloud-based and local processing backends.
-- **Enhanced Security:** Implemented mandatory workspace trust for headless
-  environments and secured the loading of `.env` configuration files.
-- **Advanced Shell Validation:** Added a robust shell command validation layer
-  and a core tools allowlist to prevent unauthorized execution.
-- **Improved Context Management:** Integrated a new `ContextManager` and
-  `AgentChatHistory` to provide more reliable and efficient session handling.
-- **Auto-Memory Persistence:** Enabled the persistence of the auto-memory
-  scratchpad, allowing for seamless skill extraction across turns.
+- **Context Manager Simplification:** Completed a significant refactoring of the
+  context management system to improve reliability and architectural clarity.
+- **A2A Usage Metadata:** Enhanced the Agent-to-Agent protocol to expose usage
+  metadata, enabling more transparent resource monitoring.
+- **Terminal & PTY Robustness:** Resolved several critical issues related to
+  terminal interactions, including Termux relaunch loops and PTY resize errors.
+- **Routing Optimizations:** Updated default auto-routing and bypassed
+  classifiers for specific tool responses to prevent orphaned function errors.
+- **Tool Execution Control:** Forced the `update_topic` tool to execute
+  sequentially, ensuring consistent narrative flow in agent interactions.

+- **When it runs**: Immediately after a pull request is created, synchronized
+  (new commits pushed), or reopened. It can also be triggered manually via
+  `workflow_dispatch` with a PR number.
+- **What it does**:
+  - **Calculates total changes**: Summarizes additions and deletions across all
+    changed files in a single consolidated API request.
+  - **Applies standard size labels**:
+    - `size/XS`: < 10 lines changed
+    - `size/S`: 10-49 lines changed
+    - `size/M`: 50-249 lines changed
+    - `size/L`: 250-999 lines changed
+    - `size/XL`: >= 1000 lines changed
+  - **Updates size tag atomically**: Adds the new correct size label and removes

+  - **Updates/Posts PR size info comment**: Instead of spamming a new comment on

-# Memory tool (`save_memory`)
+# Memory files
 
-The `save_memory` tool allows the Gemini agent to persist specific facts, user
-preferences, and project details across sessions.
+Gemini CLI persists durable facts, user preferences, and project details by
+editing Markdown memory files directly.
 
 ## Technical reference
 
-This tool appends information to the `## Gemini Added Memories` section of your
-global `GEMINI.md` file (typically located at `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md`).
-
-### Arguments
-
-- `fact` (string, required): A clear, self-contained statement in natural
-  language.
+The agent routes memories to the appropriate Markdown file: shared project
+instructions go in repository `GEMINI.md` files, private project notes go in the
+per-project private memory folder, and cross-project personal preferences go in
+the global `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md` file.
 
 ## Technical behavior
 
-- **Storage:** Appends to the global context file in the user's home directory.
+- **Storage:** Edits Markdown files with `write_file` or `replace`.
 - **Loading:** The stored facts are automatically included in the hierarchical
   context system for all future sessions.
-- **Format:** Saves data as a bulleted list item within a dedicated Markdown
-  section.
+- **Format:** Keeps durable instructions concise and avoids duplicating the same
+  fact across multiple memory tiers.
