-## Feature Stages
-
-Features progress through the following stages:
-
-| Stage          | Default  | UI Badge       | Description                                                                                 |
-| -------------- | -------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **ALPHA**      | Disabled | `[ALPHA]`      | Early-access features. May be unstable, change significantly, or be removed without notice. |
-| **BETA**       | Enabled  | `[BETA]`       | Features that are well-tested and considered stable. Can be disabled if issues arise.       |
-| **GA**         | Enabled  | -              | Stable features that are part of the core product. Cannot be disabled.                      |
-| **DEPRECATED** | Disabled | `[DEPRECATED]` | Features scheduled for removal. Using them triggers a warning.                              |
-
-## Configuration
-
-The feature lifecycle can be configured in several ways:
-
-1.  **`/features` Command**: Use the `/features` (or `/feature`) command
-    directly in the CLI to list all Alpha, Beta, and Deprecated features. This
-    view shows the maturity stage, enablement status, and metadata like the
-    version it was introduced (`since`) and when it is scheduled for removal
-    (`until`).
-2.  **`settings.json`**: Use the `features` object to toggle specific features
-    or entire stages.
-    - `features.allAlpha`: Enable/disable all Alpha features.
-    - `features.allBeta`: Enable/disable all Beta features.
-    - `features.<featureName>`: Toggle an individual feature.
-3.  **CLI Flag**: Use `--feature-gates="feat1=true,feat2=false"` for runtime
-    overrides.
-4.  **Environment Variable**: Set
-    `GEMINI_FEATURE_GATES="feat1=true,feat2=false"`.
-
-The stability of each feature is visually indicated in the
-[`/settings` UI](/docs/cli/settings.md) with colored badges. **GA** features are
-considerd stable and look identical to standard settings.
-
-## Lifecycle tracking issues
-
-Every feature managed under this system must have a corresponding **Lifecycle
-Tracking Issue** on GitHub. These issues act as a living roadmap and a public
-feedback loop for the feature's progression through Alpha, Beta, and GA stages.
-
-You can find the link to a feature's tracking issue in the following ways:
-
-1.  **`/features` Command:** The tracker URL is displayed alongside the metadata
-    for each feature.
-2.  **`FeatureDefinitions`:** The `issueUrl` is defined in
-    `packages/core/src/config/features.ts`.
-
-Maintainers use these issues to document promotion criteria, link related bug
-reports, and collect user feedback before moving a feature to the next stage.
-
-### Precedence and reconciliation
-
-When determining if a feature is enabled, the system follows this order of
-precedence (highest priority first):
-
-1. **Global Lock**: Features in the **GA** stage are locked to `true` and cannot
-   be disabled.
-2. **CLI Flags & Environment Variables**: Runtime overrides (`--feature-gates`
-   or `GEMINI_FEATURE_GATES`) override persistent settings.
-3. **Individual Toggle**: Specific feature toggles in `settings.json` (e.g.,
-   `"features": { "plan": true }`).
-4. **Meta Toggles**: Stage-wide toggles in `settings.json` (`allAlpha` or
-   `allBeta`). For example, if `allAlpha` is `true`, all Alpha features are
-   enabled unless specifically disabled by an individual toggle.
-5. **Stage Default**: The inherent default for the feature's current stage
-   (Alpha: Disabled, Beta/GA: Enabled).
-
-For more details on persistent configuration, see the [Configuration guide].

-## Managing Feature Lifecycle
-
-Maintaining a feature involves promoting it through stages or eventually
-deprecating and removing it.
-
-### Adding a feature
-
-To add a new feature under lifecycle management:
-
-1.  **Create a Tracker Issue:** Use the **Feature Lifecycle Tracker** template
-    on GitHub to create a new issue. This issue will track the feature from
-    Alpha through GA.
-2.  **Define the Feature:** Add a new entry to [`FeatureDefinitions`] in
-    [`features.ts`].
-
-    ```typescript
-    export const FeatureDefinitions: Record<string, FeatureSpec[]> = {
-      // ... existing features
-      myNewFeature: [
-        {
-          lockToDefault: false,
-          preRelease: FeatureStage.Alpha,
-          since: '0.31.0',
-          description: 'Description of my new feature.',
-          issueUrl: 'https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/123',
-        },
-      ],
-    };
-    ```
-
-    _Note: The `default` field is optional. If omitted, it defaults to `false`
-    for Alpha/Deprecated and `true` for Beta/GA._
-
-3.  **Expose in Settings**: Add the feature to the `features` object in
-    [`settingsSchema.ts`]. This ensures it appears in the `/settings` UI and is
-    validated.
-    ```typescript
-    features: {
-      // ...
-      properties: {
-        // ...
-        myNewFeature: {
-          type: 'boolean',
-          label: 'My New Feature',
-          category: 'Features',
-          requiresRestart: true, // or false
-          description: 'Description of my new feature.',
-          showInDialog: true,
-        },
-      },
-    },
-    ```
-4.  **Use the Feature**: In your code, check if the feature is enabled using the
-    `Config` object.
-    ```typescript
-    if (this.config.isFeatureEnabled('myNewFeature')) {
-      // Feature logic
-    }
-    ```
-
-### Promoting a feature
-
-When a feature is ready for the next stage:
-
-1.  **Update the Tracker:** Review the requirements in the lifecycle tracker
-    issue. Once met, update the roadmap table in the issue description and post
-    a comment announcing the promotion.
-2.  **Update [`features.ts`]**: Add a new `FeatureSpec` to the feature's array.
-    - **To BETA**: Set `preRelease: FeatureStage.Beta` (Defaults to `true`).
-    - **To GA**: Set `preRelease: FeatureStage.GA` (Defaults to `true` and
-      locked).
-    - Update the `since` version.
-3.  **Update [`settingsSchema.ts`]**: Update the `label` and `description` if
-    necessary.
-4.  **GA Cleanup**: Once a feature is GA and no longer optional, remove the
-    feature gate check from the code and make it a core part of the logic.
-
-### Deprecating a Feature
-
-This stage is for **Beta** and **GA** features scheduled for removal.
-
-1.  **Update [`features.ts`]**: Add a new `FeatureSpec` with
-    `preRelease: FeatureStage.Deprecated`.
-    - Optionally set `default: true` if it should remain enabled during
-      deprecation (it defaults to `false`).
-    - Optionally set an `until` version to indicate when it will be removed.
-2.  **Update [`settingsSchema.ts`]**: Update the description to notify users of
-    the deprecation and suggest alternatives.
-
-### Removing a Feature
-
-> **Alpha** features can be removed without formal deprecation. **Beta** and
-> **GA** features should typically go through a
-> [deprecation period](#deprecating-a-feature) first.
-
-To completely remove a feature:
-
-1.  **Cleanup Code**: Remove all logic and tests associated with the feature.
-2.  **Update [`features.ts`]**: Remove the feature from [`FeatureDefinitions`].
-3.  **Update [`settingsSchema.ts`]**: Remove the feature from the `features`
-    object.
-4.  **Legacy Settings**: If the feature had a legacy `experimental` flag, ensure
-    its migration logic is cleaned up in [`config.ts`].

Srinath Padmanabhan	1a94129b09	fix(telemetry): correct onboarding and token storage metrics This commit addresses two issues with telemetry recording: 1. The metric was missing the attribute, causing a TypeScript error when was called. The attribute has been added back to the metric definition. 2. The metric was being incorrectly called on every token refresh. This has been corrected by removing the calls from the token refresh listener and refactoring the valid success paths to call a new helper function to avoid code duplication.	2026-03-03 12:35:41 -08:00
