fix(cli): make folder trust headless detection more robust

Disable folder trust when running in integration tests (GEMINI_CLI_INTEGRATION_TEST)
   or unit tests (VITEST) to prevent interactive prompts from blocking automated tests.

   Also updates config.test.ts to isolate folder trust tests from these environment
   variables so the underlying logic can still be verified.

+# Plan Mode (experimental) <!-- omit in toc -->
+
+Plan Mode is a safe, read-only mode for researching and designing complex
+changes. It prevents modifications while you research, design and plan an
+implementation strategy.
+
+> **Note: Plan Mode is currently an experimental feature.**
+>
+> Experimental features are subject to change. To use Plan Mode, enable it via
+> `/settings` (search for `Plan`) or add the following to your `settings.json`:
+>
+> ```json
+> {
+>   "experimental": {
+>     "plan": true
+>   }
+> }
+> ```
+>
+> Your feedback is invaluable as we refine this feature. If you have ideas,
+> suggestions, or encounter issues:
+>
+> - Use the `/bug` command within the CLI to file an issue.
+> - [Open an issue](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues) on
+>   GitHub.

+
+## Starting in Plan Mode
+
+You can configure Gemini CLI to start directly in Plan Mode by default:
+
+1.  Type `/settings` in the CLI.
+2.  Search for `Approval Mode`.
+3.  Set the value to `Plan`.
+
+Other ways to start in Plan Mode:
+
+- **CLI Flag:** `gemini --approval-mode=plan`
+- **Manual Settings:** Manually update your `settings.json`:
+
+  ```json
+  {
+    "tools": {
+      "approvalMode": "plan"
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+
+## How to use Plan Mode
+
+### Entering Plan Mode
+
+You can enter Plan Mode in three ways:
+
+1.  **Keyboard Shortcut:** Press `Shift+Tab` to cycle through approval modes
+    (`Default` -> `Plan` -> `Auto-Edit`).
+2.  **Command:** Type `/plan` in the input box.
+3.  **Natural Language:** Ask the agent to "start a plan for...".
+
+### The Planning Workflow
+
+1.  **Requirements:** The agent clarifies goals using `ask_user`.
+2.  **Exploration:** The agent uses read-only tools (like [`read_file`]) to map
+    the codebase and validate assumptions.
+3.  **Planning:** A detailed plan is written to a temporary Markdown file.
+4.  **Review:** You review the plan.
+    - **Approve:** Exit Plan Mode and start implementation (switching to
+      Auto-Edit or Default approval mode).
+    - **Iterate:** Provide feedback to refine the plan.
+
+### Exiting Plan Mode
+
+To exit Plan Mode:
+
+1. **Keyboard Shortcut:** Press `Shift+Tab` to cycle to the desired mode.
+1. **Tool:** The agent calls the `exit_plan_mode` tool to present the finalized
+   plan for your approval.
+
+## Tool Restrictions
+
+Plan Mode enforces strict safety policies to prevent accidental changes.
+
+These are the only allowed tools:
+
+- **FileSystem (Read):** [`read_file`], [`list_directory`], [`glob`]
+- **Search:** [`grep_search`], [`google_web_search`]
+- **Interaction:** `ask_user`
+- **MCP Tools (Read):** Read-only [MCP tools] (e.g., `github_read_issue`,
+  `postgres_read_schema`) are allowed.
+- **Planning (Write):** [`write_file`] and [`replace`] ONLY allowed for `.md`
+  files in the `~/.gemini/tmp/<project>/plans/` directory.

Within the scope of your changes, prioritize readability and long-term maintainability by consolidating logic into clean abstractions rather than threading state across unrelated layers. Align strictly with the requested architectural direction, ensuring the final implementation is focused and free of redundant "just-in-case" alternatives. Validation is not merely running tests; it is the exhaustive process of ensuring that every aspect of your change—behavioral, structural, and stylistic—is correct and fully compatible with the broader project. For bug fixes, you must empirically reproduce the failure with a new test case or reproduction script before applying the fix.
 - **Expertise & Intent Alignment:** Provide proactive technical opinions grounded in research while strictly adhering to the user's intended workflow. Distinguish between **Directives** (unambiguous requests for action or implementation) and **Inquiries** (requests for analysis, advice, or observations). Assume all requests are Inquiries unless they contain an explicit instruction to perform a task. For Inquiries, your scope is strictly limited to research and analysis; you may propose a solution or strategy, but you MUST NOT modify files until a corresponding Directive is issued. Do not initiate implementation based on observations of bugs or statements of fact. Once an Inquiry is resolved, or while waiting for a Directive, stop and wait for the next user instruction. ${options.interactive ? 'For Directives, only clarify if critically underspecified; otherwise, work autonomously.' : 'For Directives, you must work autonomously as no further user input is available.'} You should only seek user intervention if you have exhausted all possible routes or if a proposed solution would take the workspace in a significantly different architectural direction.
 - **Proactiveness:** When executing a Directive, persist through errors and obstacles by diagnosing failures in the execution phase and, if necessary, backtracking to the research or strategy phases to adjust your approach until a successful, verified outcome is achieved. Fulfill the user's request thoroughly, including adding tests when adding features or fixing bugs. Take reasonable liberties to fulfill broad goals while staying within the requested scope; however, prioritize simplicity and the removal of redundant logic over providing "just-in-case" alternatives that diverge from the established path.

+### CRITICAL: GLOBAL CONTEXT ONLY
+NEVER save workspace-specific context, local paths, or commands (e.g. "The entry point is src/index.js", "The test command is npm test"). These are local to the current workspace and must NOT be saved globally. EXCLUSIVELY for context relevant across ALL workspaces.
 
-- When the user explicitly asks you to remember something (e.g., "Remember that I like pineapple on pizza", "Please save this: my cat's name is Whiskers").
-- When the user states a clear, concise fact about themselves, their preferences, or their environment that seems important for you to retain for future interactions to provide a more personalized and effective assistance.
-
-Do NOT use this tool:
-
-- To remember conversational context that is only relevant for the current session.
-- To save long, complex, or rambling pieces of text. The fact should be relatively short and to the point.
-- If you are unsure whether the information is a fact worth remembering long-term. If in doubt, you can ask the user, "Should I remember that for you?"
-
-## Parameters
-
-- \`fact\` (string, required): The specific fact or piece of information to remember. This should be a clear, self-contained statement. For example, if the user says "My favorite color is blue", the fact would be "My favorite color is blue".`;
+- Use for "Remember X" or clear personal facts.
+- Do NOT use for session context.`;
