feat: add Forever Mode with time-based scheduled work and A2A listener

Add --forever CLI flag that enables autonomous agent operation with scheduled work, context management, A2A protocol support, and session optimization. Core features: - Time-based WorkScheduler: manages a sorted list of scheduled prompts that fire at absolute or relative times, persisted across sessions - schedule_work tool: add/cancel scheduled prompts with 'at' (local time) or 'inMinutes' (relative) params; current time and schedule prepended to every model turn - A2A HTTP listener: JSON-RPC 2.0 server bridges external messages into the session (message/send, tasks/get, responses/poll) - PreCompress hook: hooks can return newHistory to replace built-in LLM compression - Idle hook: fires after configurable inactivity, can auto-submit prompts - Forever mode disables MemoryTool, EnterPlanModeTool, interactive shell UI: - ScheduledWorkDisplay component shows all pending items above the context summary bar - A2A port shown in StatusDisplay when active Session optimization for long-running sessions: - Record lastCompressionIndex on ConversationRecord; on resume, only load post-compression messages - Restore scheduled work items on session resume (past-due fire immediately) - Skip file I/O in updateMessagesFromHistory when no tool results to sync - Prune UI history to last 50 items after each context compression

+prompt = """
+You are an expert at fixing behavioral evaluations.
+
+1. **Investigate**:
+   - Use 'gh' cli to fetch the results from the latest run from the main branch: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/actions/workflows/evals-nightly.yml.
+   - DO NOT push any changes or start any runs. The rest of your evaluation will be local.
+   - Evals are in evals/ directory and are documented by evals/README.md.
+   - The test case trajectory logs will be logged to evals/logs.
+   - You should also enable and review the verbose agent logs by setting the GEMINI_DEBUG_LOG_FILE environment variable.
+   - Identify the relevant test. Confine your investigation and validation to just this test.
+   - Proactively add logging that will aid in gathering information or validating your hypotheses.
+
+2. **Fix**:
+   - If a relevant test is failing, locate the test file and the corresponding prompt/code.
+   - It's often helpful to make an extreme, brute force change to see if you are changing the right place to make an improvement and then scope it back iteratively.
+   - Your **final** change should be **minimal and targeted**.
+   - Keep in mind the following:
+     - The prompt has multiple configurations and pieces. Take care that your changes
+       end up in the final prompt for the selected model and configuration.
+     - The prompt chosen for the eval is intentional. It's often vague or indirect
+       to see how the agent performs with ambiguous instructions. Changing it should
+       be a last resort.
+     - When changing the test prompt, carefully consider whether the prompt still tests
+       the same scenario. We don't want to lose test fidelity by making the prompts too
+       direct (i.e.: easy).
+     - Your primary mechanism for improving the agent's behavior is to make changes to
+       tool instructions, system prompt (snippets.ts), and/or modules that contribute to the prompt.
+     - If prompt and description changes are unsuccessful, use logs and debugging to
+       confirm that everything is working as expected.
+    - If unable to fix the test, you can make recommendations for architecture changes
+      that might help stablize the test. Be sure to THINK DEEPLY if offering architecture guidance.
+      Some facts that might help with this are:
+      - Agents may be composed of one or more agent loops.
+      - AgentLoop == 'context + toolset + prompt'. Subagents are one type of agent loop.
+      - Agent loops perform better when:
+        - They have direct, unambiguous, and non-contradictory prompts.
+        - They have fewer irrelevant tools.
+        - They have fewer goals or steps to perform.
+        - They have less low value or irrelevant context.
+      - You may suggest compositions of existing primitives, like subagents, or
+        propose a new one.
+      - These recommendations should be high confidence and should be grounded
+        in observed deficient behaviors rather than just parroting the facts above.
+        Investigate as needed to ground your recommendations.
+
+3. **Verify**:
+   - Run just that one test if needed to validate that it is fixed. Be sure to run vitest in non-interactive mode.
+   - Running the tests can take a long time, so consider whether you can diagnose via other means or log diagnostics before committing the time. You must minimize the number of test runs needed to diagnose the failure.
+   - After the test completes, check whether it seems to have improved.
+   - You will need to run the test 3 times for Gemini 3.0, Gemini 3 flash, and Gemini 2.5 pro to ensure that it is truly stable. Run these runs in parallel, using scripts if needed.
+   - Some flakiness is expected; if it looks like a transient issue or the test is inherently unstable but passes 2/3 times, you might decide it cannot be improved.
+
+4. **Report**:
+   - Provide a summary of the test success rate for each of the tested models.
+   - Success rate is calculated based on 3 runs per model (e.g., 3/3 = 100%).
+   - If you couldn't fix it due to persistent flakiness, explain why.

+prompt = """
+You are an expert at analyzing and promoting behavioral evaluations.

+1. **Investigate**:

+   - NOTE: the results summary from the most recent run contains the last 7 runs test results. 100% means the test passed 3/3 times for that model and run.
+   - If a test meets this criteria, it is a candidate for promotion.
+
+2. **Promote**:
+   - For each candidate test, locate the test file in the evals/ directory.
+   - Promote the test according to the project's standard promotion process (e.g., moving it to a stable suite, updating its tags, or removing skip/flaky annotations). 
+   - Ensure you follow any guidelines in evals/README.md for stable tests.
+   - Your **final** change should be **minimal and targeted** to just promoting the test status.
+
+3. **Verify**:
+   - Run the promoted tests locally to validate that they still execute correctly. Be sure to run vitest in non-interactive mode.
+   - Check that the test is now part of the expected standard or stable test suites.
+
+4. **Report**:
+   - Provide a summary of the tests that were promoted.
+   - Include the success rate evidence (7/7 runs passed for all models) for each promoted test.
+   - If no tests met the criteria for promotion, clearly state that and summarize the closest candidates.

-description: Guidance for creating, running, fixing, and promoting behavioral evaluations. Use when verifying agent decision logic, debugging failures, debugging prompt steering, or adding workspace regression tests.
---
-
-# Behavioral Evals
-
-## Overview
-
-Behavioral evaluations (evals) are tests that validate the **agent's decision-making** (e.g., tool choice) rather than pure functionality. They are critical for verifying prompt changes, debugging steerability, and preventing regressions.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> **Single Source of Truth**: For core concepts, policies, running tests, and general best practices, always refer to **[evals/README.md](file:///Users/abhipatel/code/gemini-cli/docs/evals/README.md)**.
-
---
-
-## 🔄 Workflow Decision Tree
-
-1.  **Does a prompt/tool change need validation?**
-    *   *No* -> Normal integration tests.
-    *   *Yes* -> Continue below.
-2.  **Is it UI/Interaction heavy?**
-    *   *Yes* -> Use `appEvalTest` (`AppRig`). See **[creating.md](references/creating.md)**.
-    *   *No* -> Use `evalTest` (`TestRig`). See **[creating.md](references/creating.md)**.
-3.  **Is it a new test?**
-    *   *Yes* -> Set policy to `USUALLY_PASSES`.
-    *   *No* -> `ALWAYS_PASSES` (locks in regression).
-4.  **Are you fixing a failure or promoting a test?**
-    *   *Fixing* -> See **[fixing.md](references/fixing.md)**.
-    *   *Promoting* -> See **[promoting.md](references/promoting.md)**.
-
---
-
-## 📋 Quick Checklist
-
-### 1. Setup Workspace
-Seed the workspace with necessary files using the `files` object to simulate a realistic scenario (e.g., NodeJS project with `package.json`).
-*   *Details in **[creating.md](references/creating.md)***
-
-### 2. Write Assertions
-Audit agent decisions using `rig.setBreakpoint()` (AppRig only) or index verification on `rig.readToolLogs()`.
-*   *Details in **[creating.md](references/creating.md)***
-
-### 3. Verify
-Run single tests locally with Vitest. Confirm stability locally before relying on CI workflows.
-*   *See **[evals/README.md](file:///Users/abhipatel/code/gemini-cli/docs/evals/README.md)** for running commands.*

-
-## 🏗️ Scenario Design
-
-Evals must simulate realistic agent environments to effectively test
-decision-making.
-
- **Workspace State**: Seed with standard project anchors if testing general
-  capabilities:
-  - `package.json` for NodeJS environments.
-  - Minimal configuration files (`tsconfig.json`, `GEMINI.md`).
- **Structural Complexity**: Provide enough files to force the agent to _search_
-  or _navigate_, rather than giving the answer directly. Avoid trivial one-file
-  tests unless testing exact prompt steering.
-
---
-
-## ❌ Fail First Principle
-
-Before asserting a new capability or locking in a fix, **verify that the test
-fails first**.
-
- It is easy to accidentally write an eval that asserts behaviors that are
-  already met or pass by default.
- **Process**: reproduce failure with test -> apply fix (prompt/tool) -> verify
-  test passes.
-
---
-
-## ✋ Testing Patterns
-
-### 1. Breakpoints
-
-Verifies the agent _intends_ to use a tool BEFORE executing it. Useful for
-interactive prompts or safety checks.
-
-```typescript
-// ⚠️ Only works with appEvalTest (AppRig)
-setup: async (rig) => {
-  rig.setBreakpoint(['ask_user']);
-},
-assert: async (rig) => {
-  const confirmation = await rig.waitForPendingConfirmation('ask_user');
-  expect(confirmation).toBeDefined();
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Tool Confirmation Race
-
-When asserting multiple triggers (e.g., "enters plan mode then asks question"):
-
-```typescript
-assert: async (rig) => {
-  let confirmation = await rig.waitForPendingConfirmation([
-    'enter_plan_mode',
-    'ask_user',
-  ]);
-
-  if (confirmation?.name === 'enter_plan_mode') {
-    rig.acceptConfirmation('enter_plan_mode');
-    confirmation = await rig.waitForPendingConfirmation('ask_user');
-  }
-  expect(confirmation?.toolName).toBe('ask_user');
-};
-```
-
-### 3. Audit Tool Logs
-
-Audit exact operations to ensure efficiency (e.g., no redundant reads).
-
-```typescript
-assert: async (rig, result) => {
-  await rig.waitForTelemetryReady();
-  const toolLogs = rig.readToolLogs();
-
-  const writeCall = toolLogs.find(
-    (log) => log.toolRequest.name === 'write_file',
-  );
-  expect(writeCall).toBeDefined();
-};
-```
-
-### 4. Mock MCP Facades
-
-To evaluate tools connected via MCP without hitting live endpoints, load a mock
-server configuration in the `setup` hook.
-
-```typescript
-setup: async (rig) => {
-  rig.addMockMcpServer('workspace-server', 'google-workspace');
-},
-assert: async (rig) => {
-  await rig.waitForTelemetryReady();
-  const toolLogs = rig.readToolLogs();
-  const workspaceCall = toolLogs.find(
-    (log) => log.toolRequest.name === 'mcp_workspace-server_docs.getText'
-  );
-  expect(workspaceCall).toBeDefined();
-};
-```
-
---
-
-## ⚠️ Safety & Efficiency Guardrails
-
-### 1. Breakpoint Deadlocks
-
-Breakpoints (`setBreakpoint`) pause execution. In standard `evalTest`,
-`rig.run()` waits for the process to exit _before_ assertions run. **This will
-hang indefinitely.**
-
- **Use Breakpoints** for `appEvalTest` or interactive simulations.
- **Use Audit Tool Logs** (above) for standard trajectory tests.
-
-### 2. Runaway Timeout
-
-Always set a budget boundary in the `EvalCase` to prevent runaway loops on
-quota:
-
-```typescript
-evalTest('USUALLY_PASSES', {
-  name: '...',
-  timeout: 60000, // 1 minute safety limit
-  // ...
-});
-```
-
-### 3. Efficiency Assertion (Turn limits)
-

-# Fixing Behavioral Evals
-
-Use this guide when asked to debug, troubleshoot, or fix a failing behavioral
-evaluation.
-
---
-
-## 1. 🔍 Investigate
-
-1.  **Fetch Nightly Results**: Use the `gh` CLI to inspect the latest run from
-    `evals-nightly.yml` if applicable.
-    - _Example view URL_:
-      `https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/actions/workflows/evals-nightly.yml`
-2.  **Isolate**: DO NOT push changes or start remote runs. Confine investigation
-    to the local workspace.
-3.  **Read Logs**:
-    - Eval logs live in `evals/logs/<test_name>.log`.
-    - Enable verbose debugging via `export GEMINI_DEBUG_LOG_FILE="debug.log"`.
-4.  **Diagnose**: Audit tool logs and telemetry. Note if due to setup/assert.
-    - **Tip**: Proactively add custom logging/diagnostics to check hypotheses.
-
---
-
-## 2. 🛠️ Fix Strategy
-
-1.  **Targeted Location**: Locate the test case and the corresponding
-    prompt/code.
-2.  **Iterative Scope**: Make extreme change first to verify scope, then refine
-    to a minimal, targeted change.
-3.  **Assertion Fidelity**:
-    - Changing the test prompt is a **last resort** (prompts are often vague by
-      design).
-    - **Warning**: Do not lose test fidelity by making prompts too direct/easy.
-    - **Primary Fix Trigger**: Adjust tool descriptions, system prompts
-      (`snippets.ts`), or **modules that contribute to the prompt template**.
-    - Fixes should generally try to improve the prompt
-      `@packages/core/src/prompts/snippets.ts` first.
-    - **Instructional Generality**: Changes to the system prompt should aim to
-      be as general as possible while still accomplishing the goal. Specificity
-      should be added only as needed.
-      - **Principle**: Instead of creating "forbidden lists" for specific syntax
-        (e.g., "Don't use `Object.create()`"), formulate a broader engineering
-        principle that covers the underlying issue (e.g., "Prioritize explicit
-        composition over hidden prototype manipulation"). This improves
-        steerability across a wider range of similar scenarios.
-      - _Low Specificity_: "Follow ecosystem best practices"
-      - _Medium Specificity_: "Utilize OOP and functional best practices, as
-        applicable"
-      - _High Specificity_: Provide ecosystem-specific hints as examples of a
-        broader principle rather than direct instructions. e.g., "NEVER use
-        hacks like bypassing the type system or employing 'hidden' logic (e.g.:
-        reflection, prototype manipulation). Instead, use explicit and idiomatic
-        language features (e.g.: type guards, explicit class instantiation, or
-        object spread) that maintain structural integrity."
-    - **Prompt Simplification**: Once the test is passing, use `ask_user` to
-      determine if prompt simplification is desired.
-      - **Criteria**: Simplification should be attempted only if there are
-        related clauses that can be de-duplicated or reparented under a single
-        heading.
-      - **Verification**: As part of simplification, you MUST identify and run
-        any behavioral eval tests that might be affected by the changes to
-        ensure no regressions are introduced.
-    - Test fixes should not "cheat" by changing a test's `GEMINI.md` file or by
-      updating the test's prompt to instruct it to not repro the bug.
-    - **Warning**: Prompts have multiple configurations; ensure your fix targets
-      the correct config for the model in question.
-4.  **Architecture Options**: If prompt or instruction tuning triggers no
-    improvement, analyze loop composition.
-    - **AgentLoop**: Defined by `context + toolset + prompt`.
-    - **Enhancements**: Loops perform best with direct prompts, fewer irrelevant
-      tools, low goal density, and minimal low-value/irrelevant context.
-    - **Modifications**: Compose subagents or isolate tools. Ground in observed
-      traces.
-    - **Warning**: Think deeply before offering recommendations; avoid parroting
-      abstract design guidelines.

-## 3. ✅ Verify
-
-1.  **Run Local**: Run Vitest in non-interactive mode on just the file.
-2.  **Log Audit**: Prioritize diagnosing failures via log comparison before
-    triggering heavy test runs.
-3.  **Stability Limit**: Run the test **3 times** locally on key models (can use
-    scripts to run in parallel for speed):
-    - **Gemini 3.0**
-    - **Gemini 3 Flash**
-    - **Gemini 2.5 Pro**
-4.  **Flakiness Rule**: If it passes 2/3 times, it may be inherent noise
-    difficult to improve without a structural split.

-# Promoting Behavioral Evals
-
-Use this guide when asked to analyze nightly results and promote incubated tests
-to stable suites.
-
---
-
-## 1. 🔍 Investigate candidates
-
-1.  **Audit Nightly Logs**: Use the `gh` CLI to fetch results from
-    `evals-nightly.yml` (Direct URL:
-    `https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/actions/workflows/evals-nightly.yml`).
-    - **Tip**: The aggregate summary from the most recent run integrates the
-      last 7 runs of history automatically.
-    - **Safety**: DO NOT push changes or start remote runs. All verification is
-      local.
-2.  **Assess Stability**: Identify tests that pass **100% of the time** across
-    ALL enabled models over the **last 7 nightly runs** in a row.
-    - _100% means the test passed 3/3 times for every model and run._
-3.  **Promotion Targets**: Tests meeting this criteria are candidates for
-    promotion from `USUALLY_PASSES` to `ALWAYS_PASSES`.
-
---
-
-## 2. 🚥 Promotion Steps
-
-1.  **Locate File**: Locate the eval file in the `evals/` directory.
-2.  **Update Policy**: Modify the policy argument to `ALWAYS_PASSES`.
-    ```typescript
-    evalTest('ALWAYS_PASSES', { ... })
-    ```
-3.  **Targeting**: Follow guidelines in `evals/README.md` regarding stable suite
-    organization.
-4.  **Constraint**: Your final change must be **minimal and targeted** strictly
-    to promoting the test status. Do not refactor the test or setup fixtures.
-
---
-
-## 3. ✅ Verify
-
-1.  **Run Prompted Tests**: Run the promoted test locally using non-interactive
-    Vitest to confirm structure validity.
-2.  **Verify Suite Inclusion**: Check that the test is successfully picked up by
-    standard runnable ranges.

-## 4. 📊 Report
-
-Provide a summary of:

-# Running & Promoting Evals
-
-## 🛠️ Prerequisites
-
-Behavioral evals run against the compiled binary. You **must** build and bundle
-the project first after making changes:
-
-```bash
-npm run build && npm run bundle
-```
-
---
-
-## 🏃‍♂️ Running Tests
-
-### 1. Configure Environment Variables
-
-Evals require a standard API key. If your `.env` file has multiple keys or
-comments, use this precise extraction setup:
-
-```bash
-export GEMINI_API_KEY=$(grep '^GEMINI_API_KEY=' .env | cut -d '=' -f2) && RUN_EVALS=1 npx vitest run --config evals/vitest.config.ts <file_name>
-```
-
-### 2. Commands
-
-| Command                             | Scope           | Description                                        |
-| :---------------------------------- | :-------------- | :------------------------------------------------- |
-| `npm run test:always_passing_evals` | `ALWAYS_PASSES` | Fast feedback, runs in CI.                         |
-| `npm run test:all_evals`            | All             | Runs nightly incubation tests. Sets `RUN_EVALS=1`. |
-
-### Target Specific File
-
-_Note: `RUN_EVALS=1` is required for incubated (`USUALLY_PASSES`) tests._
-
-```bash
-RUN_EVALS=1 npx vitest run --config evals/vitest.config.ts my_feature.eval.ts
-```
-
---
-
-## 🐞 Debugging and Logs
-
-If a test fails, verify:
-
- **Tool Trajectory Logs**:序列 of calls in `evals/logs/<test_name>.log`.
- **Verbose Reasoning**: Capture raw buffer traces by setting
-  `GEMINI_DEBUG_LOG_FILE`:
-  ```bash
-  export GEMINI_DEBUG_LOG_FILE="debug.log"
-  ```
-
---
-
-### 🎯 Verify Model Targeting
-
- **Tip:** Standard evals benchmark against model variations. If a test passes
-  on Flash but fails on Pro (or vice versa), the issue is usually in the **tool
-  description**, not the prompt definition. Flash is sensitive to "instruction
-  bloat," while Pro is sensitive to "ambiguous intent."
-
---
-
-## 🚥 deflaking & Promotion
-
-To maintain CI stability, all new evals follow a strict incubation period.
-
-### 1. Incubation (`USUALLY_PASSES`)
-
-New tests must be created with the `USUALLY_PASSES` policy.
-
-```typescript
-evalTest('USUALLY_PASSES', { ... })
-```
-
-They run in **Evals: Nightly** workflows and do not block PR merges.
-
-### 2. Investigate Failures
-
-If a nightly eval regresses, investigate via agent:
-
-```bash
-gemini /fix-behavioral-eval [optional-run-uri]
-```
-
-### 3. Promotion (`ALWAYS_PASSES`)
-
-Once a test scores 100% consistency over multiple nightly cycles:
-
-```bash
-gemini /promote-behavioral-eval
-```
-
-_Do not promote manually._ The command verifies trajectory logs before updating
-the file policy.

-name: ci
-description:
-  A specialized skill for Gemini CLI that provides high-performance, fail-fast
-  monitoring of GitHub Actions workflows and automated local verification of CI
-  failures. It handles run discovery automatically—simply provide the branch name.
---
-
-# CI Replicate & Status
-
-This skill enables the agent to efficiently monitor GitHub Actions, triage
-failures, and bridge remote CI errors to local development. It defaults to
-**automatic replication** of failures to streamline the fix cycle.
-
-## Core Capabilities
-
- **Automatic Replication**: Automatically monitors CI and immediately executes 
-  suggested test or lint commands locally upon failure.
- **Real-time Monitoring**: Aggregated status line for all concurrent workflows
-  on the current branch.
- **Fail-Fast Triage**: Immediately stops on the first job failure to provide a
-  structured report.
-
-## Workflow
-
-### 1. CI Replicate (`replicate`) - DEFAULT
-Use this as the primary path to monitor CI and **automatically** replicate 
-failures locally for immediate triage and fixing.
- **Behavior**: When this workflow is triggered, the agent will monitor the CI
-  and **immediately and automatically execute** all suggested test or lint
-  commands (marked with 🚀) as soon as a failure is detected. 
- **Tool**: `node .gemini/skills/ci/scripts/ci.mjs [branch]`
- **Discovery**: The script **automatically** finds the latest active or recent
-  run for the branch. Do NOT manually search for run IDs.
- **Goal**: Reproduce the failure locally without manual intervention, then
-  proceed to analyze and fix the code.
-
-### 1. CI Status (`status`)
-Use this when you have pushed changes and need to monitor the CI and reproduce
-any failures locally.
- **Tool**: `node .gemini/skills/ci/scripts/ci.mjs [branch] [run_id]`
- **Discovery**: The script **automatically** finds the latest active or recent
-  run for the branch. You should NOT manually search for \`run_id\` using \`gh run list\`
-  unless a specific historical run is requested. Simply provide the branch name.
- **Step 1 (Monitor)**: Execute the tool with the branch name.
- **Step 2 (Extract)**: Extract suggested \`npm test\` or \`npm run lint\` commands
-  from the output (marked with 🚀).
- **Step 3 (Reproduce)**: Execute those commands locally to confirm the failure.
- **Behavior**: It will poll every 15 seconds. If it detects a failure, it will
-  exit with a structured report and provide the exact commands to run locally.
-
-## Failure Categories & Actions
-
- **Test Failures**: Agent should run the specific `npm test -w <pkg> -- <path>`
-  command suggested.
- **Lint Errors**: Agent should run `npm run lint:all` or the specific package
-  lint command.
- **Build Errors**: Agent should check `tsc` output or build logs to resolve
-  compilation issues.
- **Job Errors**: Investigate `gh run view --job <job_id> --log` for
-  infrastructure or setup failures.
-
-## Noise Filtering
-The underlying scripts automatically filter noise (Git logs, NPM warnings, stack
-trace overhead). The agent should focus on the "Structured Failure Report"
-provided by the tool.

-# Procedural Guide: Auditing the Docset
-
-This guide outlines the process for auditing the Gemini CLI documentation for
-correctness and adherence to style guidelines. This process involves both an
-"Editor" and "Technical Writer" phase.
-
-## Objective
-
-To ensure all public-facing documentation is accurate, up-to-date, adheres to
-the Gemini CLI documentation style guide, and reflects the current state of the
-codebase.
-
-## Phase 1: Editor Audit
-
-**Role:** The editor is responsible for identifying potential issues based on
-style guide violations and technical inaccuracies.
-
-### Steps
-
-1.  **Identify Documentation Scope:**
-    - Read `docs/sidebar.json` to get a list of all viewable documentation
-      pages.
-    - For each entry with a `slug`, convert it into a file path (e.g., `docs` ->
-      `docs/index.md`, `docs/get-started` -> `docs/get-started.md`). Ignore
-      entries with `link` properties.
-
-2.  **Prepare Audit Results File:**
-    - Create a new Markdown file named `audit-results-[YYYY-MM-DD].md` (e.g.,
-      `audit-results-2026-03-13.md`). This file will contain all identified
-      violations and recommendations.
-
-3.  **Retrieve Style Guidelines:**
-    - Familiarize yourself with the `docs-writer` skill instructions and the
-      included style guidelines.
-
-4.  **Audit Each Document:**
-    - For each documentation file identified in Step 1, read its content.
-    - **Review against Style Guide:**
-      - **Voice and Tone Violations:**
-        - **Unprofessional Tone:** Identify phrasing that is overly casual,
-          defensive, or lacks a professional and friendly demeanor.
-        - **Indirectness or Vagueness:** Identify sentences that are
-          unnecessarily wordy or fail to be concise and direct.
-        - **Incorrect Pronoun:** Identify any use of third-person pronouns
-          (e.g., "we," "they," "the user") when referring to the reader, instead
-          of the second-person pronoun **"you"**.
-        - **Passive Voice:** Identify sentences written in the passive voice.
-        - **Incorrect Tense:** Identify the use of past or future tense verbs,
-          instead of the **present tense**.
-        - **Poor Vocabulary:** Identify the use of jargon, slang, or overly
-          informal language.
-      - **Language and Grammar Violations:**
-        - **Lack of Conciseness:** Identify unnecessarily long phrases or
-          sentences.
-        - **Punctuation Errors:** Identify incorrect or missing punctuation.
-        - **Ambiguous Dates:** Identify dates that could be misinterpreted
-          (e.g., "next Monday" instead of "April 15, 2026").
-        - **Abbreviation Usage:** Identify the use of abbreviations that should
-          be spelled out (e.g., "e.g." instead of "for example").
-        - **Terminology:** Check for incorrect or inconsistent use of
-          product-specific terms (e.g., "quota" vs. "limit").
-      - **Formatting and Syntax Violations:**
-        - **Missing Overview:** Check for the absence of a brief overview
-          paragraph at the start of the document.
-        - **Line Length:** Identify any lines of text that exceed **80
-          characters** (text wrap violation).
-        - **Casing:** Identify incorrect casing for headings, titles, or named
-          entities (e.g., product names like `Gemini CLI`).
-        - **List Formatting:** Identify incorrectly formatted lists (e.g.,
-          inconsistent indentation or numbering).
-        - **Incorrect Emphasis:** Identify incorrect use of bold text (should
-          only be used for UI elements) or code font (should be used for code,
-          file names, or command-line input).
-        - **Link Quality:** Identify links with non-descriptive anchor text
-          (e.g., "click here").
-        - **Image Alt Text:** Identify images with missing or poor-quality
-          (non-descriptive) alt text.
-      - **Structure Violations:**
-        - **Missing BLUF:** Check for the absence of a "Bottom Line Up Front"
-          summary at the start of complex sections or documents.
-        - **Experimental Feature Notes:** Identify experimental features that
-          are not clearly labeled with a standard note.
-        - **Heading Hierarchy:** Check for skipped heading levels (e.g., going
-          from `##` to `####`).
-        - **Procedure Clarity:** Check for procedural steps that do not start
-          with an imperative verb or where a condition is placed _after_ the
-          instruction.
-        - **Element Misuse:** Identify the incorrect or inappropriate use of
-          special elements (e.g., Notes, Warnings, Cautions).
-        - **Table of Contents:** Identify the presence of a dynamically
-          generated or manually included table of contents.
-        - **Missing Next Steps:** Check for procedural documents that lack a
-          "Next steps" section (if applicable).
-    - **Verify Code Accuracy (if applicable):**
-      - If the document contains code snippets (e.g., shell commands, API calls,
-        file paths, Docker image versions), use `grep_search` and `read_file`
-        within the `packages/` directory (or other relevant parts of the
-        codebase) to ensure the code is still accurate and up-to-date. Pay close
-        attention to version numbers, package names, and command syntax.
-    - **Record Findings:** For each **violation** or inaccuracy found:
-      - Note the file path.
-      - Describe the violation (e.g., "Violation (Language and Grammar): Uses
-        'e.g.'").
-      - Provide a clear and actionable recommendation to correct the issue.
-        (e.g., "Recommendation: Replace 'e.g.' with 'for example'." or
-        "Recommendation: Replace '...' with '...' in active voice.).
-      - Append these findings to `audit-results-[YYYY-MM-DD].md`.
-
-## Phase 2: Software Engineer Audit
-
-**Role:** The software engineer is responsible for finding undocumented features
-by auditing the codebase and recent changelogs, and passing these findings to
-the technical writer.
-
-### Steps
-
-1.  **Proactive Codebase Audit:**
-    - Audit high-signal areas of the codebase to identify undocumented features.
-      You MUST review:
-      - `packages/cli/src/commands/`
-      - `packages/core/src/tools/`
-      - `packages/cli/src/config/settings.ts`
-
-2.  **Review Recent Updates:**
-    - Check recent changelogs in stable and announcements within the
-      documentation to see if newly introduced features are documented properly.
-
-3.  **Evaluate and Record Findings:**
-    - Determine if these features are adequately covered in the docs. They do
-      not need to be documented word for word, but major features that customers
-      should care about probably should have an article.
-    - Append your findings to the `audit-results-[YYYY-MM-DD].md` file,
-      providing a brief description of the feature and where it should be
-      documented.
-
-## Phase 3: Technical Writer Implementation
-
-**Role:** The technical writer handles input from both the editor and the
-software engineer, makes appropriate decisions about what to change, and
-implements the approved changes.
-
-### Steps
-
-1.  **Review Audit Results:**
-    - Read `audit-results-[YYYY-MM-DD].md` to understand all identified issues,
-      undocumented features, and recommendations from both the Editor and
-      Software Engineer phases.
-
-2.  **Make Decisions and Log Reasoning:**
-    - Create or update an implementation log (e.g.,
-      `audit-implementation-log-[YYYY-MM-DD].md`).
-    - Make sure the logs are updated for all steps, documenting your reasoning
-      for each recommendation (why it was accepted, modified, or rejected). This
-      is required for a final check by a human in the PR.
-
-3.  **Implement Changes:**
-    - For each approved recommendation:
-      - Read the target documentation file.
-      - Apply the recommended change using the `replace` tool. Pay close
-        attention to `old_string` for exact matches, including whitespace and
-        newlines. For multiple occurrences of the same simple string (e.g.,
-        "e.g."), use `allow_multiple: true`.
-      - **String replacement safeguards:** When applying these fixes across the
-        docset, you must verify the following:
-        - **Preserve Code Blocks:** Explicitly verify that no code blocks,
-          inline code snippets, terminal commands, or file paths have been
-          erroneously capitalized or modified.
-        - **Preserve Literal Strings:** Never alter the wording of literal error
-          messages, UI quotes, or system logs. For example, if a style rule says
-          to remove the word "please", you must NOT remove it if it appears
-          inside a quoted error message (e.g.,
-          `Error: Please contact your administrator`).
-        - **Verify Sentence Casing:** When removing filler words (like "please")
-          from the beginning of a sentence or list item, always verify that the
-          new first word of the sentence is properly capitalized.
-      - For structural changes (e.g., adding an overview paragraph), use
-        `replace` or `write_file` as appropriate.
-      - For broken links, determine the correct new path or update the link
-        text.
-      - For creating new files (e.g., `docs/get-started.md` to fix a broken
-        link, or a new feature article), use `write_file`.
-
-4.  **Execute Auto-Generation Scripts:**
-    - Some documentation pages are auto-generated from the codebase and should
-      be updated using npm scripts rather than manual edits. After implementing
-      manual changes (especially if you edited settings or configurations based
-      on SWE recommendations), ensure you run:
-      - `npm run docs:settings` to generate/update the configuration reference.
-      - `npm run docs:keybindings` to generate/update the keybindings reference.
-
-5.  **Format Code:**
-    - **Dependencies:** If `npm run format` fails, it may be necessary to run
-      `npm install` first to ensure all formatting dependencies are available.
-    - After all changes have been implemented, run `npm run format` to ensure
-      consistent formatting across the project.

-description: Use this skill during code reviews to proactively investigate the codebase for duplicated functionality, reinvented wheels, or failure to reuse existing project best practices and shared utilities.
---
-
-# Review Duplication
-
-## Overview
-
-This skill provides a structured workflow for investigating a codebase during a code review to identify duplicated logic, reinvented utilities, and missed opportunities to reuse established patterns. By executing this workflow, you ensure that new code integrates seamlessly with the existing project architecture.
-
-## Workflow: Investigating for Duplication
-
-When reviewing code, perform the following steps before finalizing your review:
-
-### 1. Extract Core Logic
-Analyze the new code to identify the core algorithms, utility functions, generic data structures, or UI components being introduced. Look beyond the specific business logic to see the underlying mechanics.
-
-### 2. Hypothesize Existing Locations & Trace Dependencies
-Think about where this type of code *would* live if it already existed in the project. Provide absolute paths from the repo root to disambiguate.
- **Utilities:** `packages/core/src/utils/`, `packages/cli/src/utils/`
- **UI Components:** `packages/cli/src/ui/components/`, `packages/cli/src/ui/`
- **Services:** `packages/core/src/services/`, `packages/cli/src/services/`
- **Configuration:** `packages/core/src/config/`, `packages/cli/src/config/`
- **Core Logic:** Call out `packages/core/` if functionality does not appear React UI specific.
-
-**Trace Third-Party Dependencies:** If the PR introduces a new import for a utility library (e.g., `lodash.merge`, `date-fns`), trace how and where the project currently uses that library. There is likely an existing wrapper or shared utility.
-
-**Check Package Files:** Before flagging a custom implementation of a complex algorithm, check `package.json` to see if a standard library (like `lodash` or `uuid`) is already installed that provides this functionality.
-
-### 3. Investigate the Codebase (Sub-Agent Delegation)
-Delegate the heavy lifting of codebase investigation to specialized sub-agents. They are optimized to perform deep searches and semantic mapping without bloating your session history.
-
-To ensure a comprehensive review, you MUST formulate highly specific objectives for the sub-agents, providing them with the "scents" you discovered in Step 1.
-
- **Codebase Investigator:** Use the `codebase_investigator` as your primary researcher. When delegating, formulate an objective that asks specific, investigative questions about the codebase, explicitly including these search vectors:
-  - **Structural Similarity:** Ask if existing code uses the same underlying APIs (e.g., "Does any existing code use `Intl.DateTimeFormat` or `setTimeout` for similar purposes?").
-  - **Naming Conventions:** Ask if there are existing symbols with similar naming patterns (e.g., "Are there existing symbols with naming patterns like `*Format*` or `*Debounce*`?").
-  - **Comments & Documentation:** Ask if keywords from the PR's comments or JSDoc exist in describing similar behavior elsewhere.
-  - **Architectural Fit:** Ask where this type of logic is currently centralized (e.g., "Where is centralized date formatting logic located?").
-  - **Refactoring Guidance:** Crucially, ask the sub-agent to explain *how* the new code could be refactored to use any existing logic it finds.
- **Generalist Agent:** Use the `generalist` for detailed, turn-intensive comparisons. For example: "Review the implementation of `MyNewComponent` in the PR and compare it semantically against all components in `packages/ui/src`. Are there any existing components that could be extended or used instead?"
- **Retain Fast Path for Simple Searches:** For extremely simple, unambiguous checks (e.g., "Does `package.json` include `lodash`?"), perform a direct search to save time. Default to delegation for any open-ended "investigations."
-
-### 4. Evaluate Best Practices
-Check if the new code aligns with the project's established conventions.
- **Error Handling:** Does it use the project's standard error classes or logging mechanisms?
- **State Management:** Does it bypass established stores or contexts?
- **Styling:** Does it hardcode colors or spacing instead of using theme variables?
-If the PR introduces a new pattern, compare it against the documented standards and explicitly confirm if an existing project pattern should have been used instead.
-
-### 5. Formulate Constructive Feedback
-If you discover that the PR duplicates existing functionality or ignores a best practice:
- Provide a clear review comment.
- **Identify the Source:** Explicitly mention the absolute or project-relative file path and the specific symbol (function, component, class) that should be reused.
- **Implementation Guidance:** Provide a brief code snippet or a clear explanation showing **how** to integrate the existing code to fulfill the task's requirements.
- **Explain the Value:** Briefly explain why reusing the existing code is beneficial (e.g., maintainability, consistency, built-in edge case handling).
-
-Example comment:
-> "It looks like this PR introduces a new `formatDate` utility. We already have a robust, tested `formatDate` function in `src/utils/dateHelpers.ts`. 
->
-> You can replace your implementation by importing it like this:
-> ```typescript
-> import { formatDate } from '../utils/dateHelpers';
-> 
-> // Then use it here:
-> const displayDate = formatDate(userDate, 'MMM Do, YYYY');
-> ```
-> Reusing this ensures that the date formatting remains consistent with the rest of the application and handles timezone conversions correctly."

- `authProviderType`: (Optional) Authentication provider (`dynamic_discovery`,
-  `google_credentials`, or `service_account_impersonation`).
- `oauth`: (Optional) OAuth configuration including `scopes`, `clientId`, and
-  `clientSecret`.
- `targetAudience`: (Optional) OAuth target audience for service-to-service
-  auth.
- `targetServiceAccount`: (Optional) Service account email to impersonate.
- `headers`: (Optional) Additional HTTP headers to send with requests.
- `includeTools` / `excludeTools`: (Optional) Tool filtering lists.
- `timeout`: (Optional) Timeout in milliseconds for MCP requests.
-
-**Client Enforcement Logic:**
-
- Required servers are injected **after** allowlist filtering, so they are
-  always available even if the allowlist is active.
- If a required server has the **same name** as a locally configured server, the
-  admin configuration **completely overrides** the local one.
- Required servers only support remote transports (`sse`, `http`). Local
-  execution fields (`command`, `args`, `env`, `cwd`) are not supported.
- Required servers can coexist with allowlisted servers — both features work
-  independently.

-  performance integration test harnesses and generalized evaluation
-  infrastructure for better suite organization.
- **Sandbox and Security Hardening:** Centralized sandbox paths for Linux and
-  macOS, enforced read-only security for async git worktree resolution, and
-  optimized Windows sandbox initialization.
- **Enhanced CLI UX and UI Stability:** Improved scroll momentum, added a
-  `debugRainbow` setting, and resolved various memory leaks and PTY exhaustion
-  issues for a smoother terminal experience.
+- **Plan Mode Enabled by Default:** Plan Mode is now enabled out-of-the-box,
+  providing a structured planning workflow and keeping approved plans during
+  chat compression.
+- **Sandboxing Enhancements:** Added experimental LXC container sandbox support
+  and native gVisor (`runsc`) sandboxing for improved security and isolation.
+- **Tracker Visualization and Tools:** Introduced CRUD tools and visualization
+  for trackers, along with task tracker strategy improvements.

-# ACP Mode
-
-ACP (Agent Client Protocol) mode is a special operational mode of Gemini CLI
-designed for programmatic control, primarily for IDE and other developer tool
-integrations. It uses a JSON-RPC protocol over stdio to communicate between
-Gemini CLI agent and a client.
-
-To start Gemini CLI in ACP mode, use the `--acp` flag:
-
-```bash
-gemini --acp
-```
-
-## Agent Client Protocol (ACP)
-
-ACP is an open protocol that standardizes how AI coding agents communicate with
-code editors and IDEs. It addresses the challenge of fragmented distribution,
-where agents traditionally needed custom integrations for each client. With ACP,
-developers can implement their agent once, and it becomes compatible with any
-ACP-compliant editor.
-
-For a comprehensive introduction to ACP, including its architecture and
-benefits, refer to the official
-[ACP Introduction](https://agentclientprotocol.com/get-started/introduction)
-documentation.
-
-### Existing integrations using ACP
-
-The ACP Agent Registry simplifies the distribution and management of
-ACP-compatible agents across various IDEs. Gemini CLI is an ACP-compatible agent
-and can be found in this registry.
-
-For more general information about the registry, and how to use it with specific
-IDEs like JetBrains and Zed, refer to the
-[IDE Integration](../ide-integration/index.md) documentation.
-
-You can also find more information on the official
-[ACP Agent Registry](https://agentclientprotocol.com/get-started/registry) page.
-
-## Architecture and protocol basics
-
-ACP mode establishes a client-server relationship between your tool (the client)
-and Gemini CLI (the server).
-
- **Communication:** The entire communication happens over standard input/output
-  (stdio) using the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol.
- **Client's role:** The client is responsible for sending requests (for
-  example, prompts) and handling responses and notifications from Gemini CLI.
- **Gemini CLI's role:** In ACP mode, Gemini CLI listens for incoming JSON-RPC
-  requests, processes them, and sends back responses.
-
-The core of the ACP implementation can be found in
-`packages/cli/src/acp/acpClient.ts`.
-
-### Extending with MCP
-
-ACP can be used with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This lets an ACP client
-(like an IDE) expose its own functionality as "tools" that the Gemini model can
-use.
-
-1.  The client implements an **MCP server** that advertises its tools.
-2.  During the ACP `initialize` handshake, the client provides the connection
-    details for its MCP server.
-3.  Gemini CLI connects to the MCP server, discovers the available tools, and
-    makes them available to the AI model.
-4.  When the model decides to use one of these tools, Gemini CLI sends a tool
-    call request to the MCP server.
-
-This mechanism lets for a powerful, two-way integration where the agent can
-leverage the IDE's capabilities to perform tasks. The MCP client logic is in
-`packages/core/src/tools/mcp-client.ts`.
-
-## Capabilities and supported methods
-
-The ACP protocol exposes a number of methods for ACP clients (for example IDEs)
-to control Gemini CLI.
-
-### Core methods
-
- `initialize`: Establishes the initial connection and lets the client to
-  register its MCP server.
- `authenticate`: Authenticates the user.
- `newSession`: Starts a new chat session.
- `loadSession`: Loads a previous session.
- `prompt`: Sends a prompt to the agent.
- `cancel`: Cancels an ongoing prompt.
-
-### Session control
-
- `setSessionMode`: Allows changing the approval level for tool calls (for
-  example, to `auto-approve`).
- `unstable_setSessionModel`: Changes the model for the current session.
-
-### File system proxy
-
-ACP includes a proxied file system service. This means that when the agent needs
-to read or write files, it does so through the ACP client. This is a security
-feature that ensures the agent only has access to the files that the client (and
-by extension, the user) has explicitly allowed.
-
-## Debugging and telemetry
-
-You can get insights into the ACP communication and the agent's behavior through
-debugging logs and telemetry.
-
-### Debugging logs
-
-To enable general debugging logs, start Gemini CLI with the `--debug` flag:
-
-```bash
-gemini --acp --debug
-```
-
-### Telemetry
-
-For more detailed telemetry, you can use the following environment variables to
-capture telemetry data to a file:
-
- `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=true`
- `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_TARGET=local`
- `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_OUTFILE=/path/to/your/log.json`
-
-This will write a JSON log file containing detailed information about all the
-events happening within the agent, including ACP requests and responses. The
-integration test `integration-tests/acp-telemetry.test.ts` provides a working
-example of how to set this up.

-# Auto Memory
-
-Auto Memory is an experimental feature that mines your past Gemini CLI sessions
-in the background and turns recurring workflows into reusable
-[Agent Skills](./skills.md). You review, accept, or discard each extracted skill
-before it becomes available to future sessions.
-
-<!-- prettier-ignore -->
-> [!NOTE]
-> This is an experimental feature currently under active development.
-
-## Overview
-
-Every session you run with Gemini CLI is recorded locally as a transcript. Auto
-Memory scans those transcripts for procedural patterns that recur across
-sessions, then drafts each pattern as a `SKILL.md` file in a project-local
-inbox. You inspect the draft, decide whether it captures real expertise, and
-promote it to your global or workspace skills directory if you want it.
-
-You'll use Auto Memory when you want to:
-
- **Capture team workflows** that you find yourself walking the agent through
-  more than once.
- **Codify hard-won fixes** for project-specific landmines so future sessions
-  avoid them.
- **Bootstrap a skills library** without writing every `SKILL.md` by hand.
-
-Auto Memory complements—but does not replace—the
-[`save_memory` tool](../tools/memory.md), which captures single facts into
-`GEMINI.md`. Auto Memory captures multi-step procedures into skills.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
- Gemini CLI installed and authenticated.
- At least 10 user messages across recent, idle sessions in the project. Auto
-  Memory ignores active or trivial sessions.
-
-## How to enable Auto Memory
-
-Auto Memory is off by default. Enable it in your settings file:
-
-1.  Open your global settings file at `~/.gemini/settings.json`. If you only
-    want Auto Memory in one project, edit `.gemini/settings.json` in that
-    project instead.
-
-2.  Add the experimental flag:
-
-    ```json
-    {
-      "experimental": {
-        "autoMemory": true
-      }
-    }
-    ```
-
-3.  Restart Gemini CLI. The flag requires a restart because the extraction
-    service starts during session boot.
-
-## How Auto Memory works
-
-Auto Memory runs as a background task on session startup. It does not block the
-UI, consume your interactive turns, or surface tool prompts.
-
-1.  **Eligibility scan.** The service indexes recent sessions from
-    `~/.gemini/tmp/<project>/chats/`. Sessions are eligible only if they have
-    been idle for at least three hours and contain at least 10 user messages.
-2.  **Lock acquisition.** A lock file in the project's memory directory
-    coordinates across multiple CLI instances so extraction runs at most once at
-    a time.
-3.  **Sub-agent extraction.** A specialized sub-agent (named `confucius`)
-    reviews the session index, reads any sessions that look like they contain
-    repeated procedural workflows, and drafts new `SKILL.md` files. Its
-    instructions tell it to default to creating zero skills unless the evidence
-    is strong, so most runs produce no inbox items.
-4.  **Patch validation.** If the sub-agent proposes edits to skills outside the
-    inbox (for example, an existing global skill), it writes a unified diff
-    `.patch` file. Auto Memory dry-runs each patch and discards any that do not
-    apply cleanly.
-5.  **Notification.** When a run produces new skills or patches, Gemini CLI
-    surfaces an inline message telling you how many items are waiting.
-
-## How to review extracted skills
-
-Use the `/memory inbox` slash command to open the inbox dialog at any time:
-
-**Command:** `/memory inbox`
-
-The dialog lists each draft skill with its name, description, and source
-sessions. From there you can:
-
- **Read** the full `SKILL.md` body before deciding.
- **Promote** a skill to your user (`~/.gemini/skills/`) or workspace
-  (`.gemini/skills/`) directory.
- **Discard** a skill you do not want.
- **Apply** or reject a `.patch` proposal against an existing skill.
-
-Promoted skills become discoverable in the next session and follow the standard
-[skill discovery precedence](./skills.md#skill-discovery-tiers).
-
-## How to disable Auto Memory
-
-To turn off background extraction, set the flag back to `false` in your settings
-file and restart Gemini CLI:
-
-```json
-{
-  "experimental": {
-    "autoMemory": false
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Disabling the flag stops the background service immediately on the next session
-start. Existing inbox items remain on disk; you can either drain them with
-`/memory inbox` first or remove the project memory directory manually.
-
-## Data and privacy
-
- Auto Memory only reads session files that already exist locally on your
-  machine. Nothing is uploaded to Gemini outside the normal API calls the
-  extraction sub-agent makes during its run.
- The sub-agent is instructed to redact secrets, tokens, and credentials it
-  encounters and to never copy large tool outputs verbatim.
- Drafted skills live in your project's memory directory until you promote or
-  discard them. They are not automatically loaded into any session.
-
-## Limitations
-
- The sub-agent runs on a preview Gemini Flash model. Extraction quality depends
-  on the model's ability to recognize durable patterns versus one-off incidents.
- Auto Memory does not extract skills from the current session. It only
-  considers sessions that have been idle for three hours or more.
- Inbox items are stored per project. Skills extracted in one workspace are not
-  visible from another until you promote them to the user-scope skills
-  directory.
-
-## Next steps
-
- Learn how skills are discovered and activated in [Agent Skills](./skills.md).
- Explore the [memory management tutorial](./tutorials/memory-management.md) for
-  the complementary `save_memory` and `GEMINI.md` workflows.
- Review the experimental settings catalog in
-  [Settings](./settings.md#experimental).

-# Git Worktrees (experimental)
-
-When working on multiple tasks at once, you can use Git worktrees to give each
-Gemini session its own copy of the codebase. Git worktrees create separate
-working directories that each have their own files and branch while sharing the
-same repository history. This prevents changes in one session from colliding
-with another.
-
-Learn more about [session management](./session-management.md).
-
-<!-- prettier-ignore -->
-> [!NOTE]
-> This is an experimental feature currently under active development. Your

-[documentation](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree).
-
-## How to enable Git worktrees
-
-Git worktrees are an experimental feature. You must enable them in your settings
-using the `/settings` command or by manually editing your `settings.json` file.
-
-1.  Use the `/settings` command.
-2.  Search for and set **Enable Git Worktrees** to `true`.
-
-Alternatively, add the following to your `settings.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "experimental": {
-    "worktrees": true
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## How to use Git worktrees
-
-Use the `--worktree` (`-w`) flag to create an isolated worktree and start Gemini
-CLI in it.
-
- **Start with a specific name:** The value you pass becomes both the directory
-  name (within `.gemini/worktrees/`) and the branch name.
-
-  ```bash
-  gemini --worktree feature-search
-  ```
-
- **Start with a random name:** If you omit the name, Gemini generates a random
-  one automatically (for example, `worktree-a1b2c3d4`).
-
-  ```bash
-  gemini --worktree
-  ```
-
-<!-- prettier-ignore -->
-> [!NOTE]
-> Remember to initialize your development environment in each new
-> worktree according to your project's setup. Depending on your stack, this
-> might include running dependency installation (`npm install`, `yarn`), setting
-> up virtual environments, or following your project's standard build process.
-
-## How to exit a Git worktree session
-
-When you exit a worktree session (using `/quit` or `Ctrl+C`), Gemini leaves the
-worktree intact so your work is not lost. This includes your uncommitted changes
-(modified files, staged changes, or untracked files) and any new commits you
-have made.
-
-Gemini prioritizes a fast and safe exit: it **does not automatically delete**
-your worktree or branch. You are responsible for cleaning up your worktrees
-manually once you are finished with them.
-
-When you exit, Gemini displays instructions on how to resume your work or how to
-manually remove the worktree if you no longer need it.
-
-## Resuming work in a Git worktree
-
-To resume a session in a worktree, navigate to the worktree directory and start
-Gemini CLI with the `--resume` flag and the session ID:
-
-```bash
-cd .gemini/worktrees/feature-search
-gemini --resume <session_id>
-```
-
-## Managing Git worktrees manually
-
-For more control over worktree location and branch configuration, or to clean up
-a preserved worktree, you can use Git directly:
-
- **Clean up a preserved Git worktree:**
-  ```bash
-  git worktree remove .gemini/worktrees/feature-search --force
-  git branch -D worktree-feature-search
-  ```
- **Create a Git worktree manually:**
-  ```bash
-  git worktree add ../project-feature-search -b feature-search
-  cd ../project-feature-search && gemini

-## Sandbox expansion
-
-Sandbox expansion is a dynamic permission system that lets Gemini CLI request
-additional permissions for a command when needed.
-
-When a sandboxed command fails due to permission restrictions (like restricted
-file paths or network access), or when a command is proactively identified as
-requiring extra permissions (like `npm install`), Gemini CLI will present you
-with a "Sandbox Expansion Request."
-
-### How sandbox expansion works
-
-1.  **Detection**: Gemini CLI detects a sandbox denial or proactively identifies
-    a command that requires extra permissions.
-2.  **Request**: A modal dialog is shown, explaining which additional
-    permissions (e.g., specific directories or network access) are required.
-3.  **Approval**: If you approve the expansion, the command is executed with the
-    extended permissions for that specific run.
-
-This mechanism ensures you don't have to manually re-run commands with more
-permissive sandbox settings, while still maintaining control over what the AI
-can access.

-If you don't have an endpoint serving the agent card, you can provide the A2A

-
-When providing a JSON string in YAML, you must properly format it as a string

-#### Using single quotes
-
-Single quotes allow you to embed unescaped double quotes inside the JSON string.

 #### Security

-The browser agent enforces several layers of security:
+The browser agent enforces the following security restrictions:

- **Domain restrictions:** When `allowedDomains` is set, the agent can only
-  navigate to the listed domains (and their subdomains when using `*.` prefix).
-  Attempting to visit a disallowed domain throws a fatal error that immediately
-  terminates the agent. The agent also attempts to detect and block the use of
-  allowed domains as proxies (e.g., via query parameters or fragments) to access
-  restricted content.
- **Blocked URL patterns:** The underlying MCP server blocks dangerous URL
-  schemes including `file://`, `javascript:`, `data:text/html`,
-  `chrome://extensions`, and `chrome://settings/passwords`.
- **Sensitive action confirmation:** Form filling (`fill`, `fill_form`) always
-  requires user confirmation through the policy engine, regardless of approval
-  mode. When `confirmSensitiveActions` is `true`, `upload_file` and
-  `evaluate_script` also require confirmation.
- **File upload blocking:** Set `blockFileUploads` to `true` to hard-block all
-  file upload requests, preventing the agent from uploading any files.
- **Action rate limiting:** The `maxActionsPerTask` setting (default: 100)
-  limits the total number of tool calls per task to prevent runaway execution.
+- **Blocked URL patterns:** `file://`, `javascript:`, `data:text/html`,
+  `chrome://extensions`, and `chrome://settings/passwords` are always blocked.

-
-##### macOS seatbelt (`sandbox-exec`)
-
-When the CLI runs under the macOS seatbelt sandbox, `persistent` and `isolated`
-session modes are forced to `isolated` with `headless` enabled. This avoids
-permission errors caused by seatbelt file-system restrictions on persistent
-browser profiles. If `sessionMode` is set to `existing`, no override is applied.
-
-##### Container sandboxes (Docker / Podman)
-
-Chrome is not available inside the container, so the browser agent is
-**disabled** unless `sessionMode` is set to `"existing"`. When enabled with
-`existing` mode, the agent automatically connects to Chrome on the host via the
-resolved IP of `host.docker.internal:9222` instead of using local pipe
-discovery. Port `9222` is currently hardcoded and cannot be customized.
-
-To use the browser agent in a Docker sandbox:
-
-1. Start Chrome on the host with remote debugging enabled:
-
-   ```bash
-   # Option A: Launch Chrome from the command line
-   google-chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222
-
-   # Option B: Enable in Chrome settings
-   # Navigate to chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging and enable

-## Subagent tool isolation
-
-Subagent tool isolation moves Gemini CLI away from a single global tool
-registry. By providing isolated execution environments, you can ensure that
-subagents only interact with the parts of the system they are designed for. This
-prevents unintended side effects, improves reliability by avoiding state
-contamination, and enables fine-grained permission control.
-
-With this feature, you can:
-
- **Specify tool access:** Define exactly which tools an agent can access using
-  a `tools` list in the agent definition.
- **Define inline MCP servers:** Configure Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers
-  (which provide a standardized way to connect AI models to external tools and
-  data sources) directly in the subagent's markdown frontmatter, isolating them
-  to that specific agent.
- **Maintain state isolation:** Ensure that subagents only interact with their
-  own set of tools and servers, preventing side effects and state contamination.
- **Apply subagent-specific policies:** Enforce granular rules in your
-  [Policy Engine](../reference/policy-engine.md) TOML configuration based on the
-  executing subagent's name.
-
-### Configuring isolated tools and servers
-
-You can configure tool isolation for a subagent by updating its markdown
-frontmatter. This lets you explicitly state which tools the subagent can use,
-rather than relying on the global registry.
-
-Add an `mcpServers` object to define inline MCP servers that are unique to the
-agent.
-
-**Example:**
-
-```yaml
---
-name: my-isolated-agent
-tools:
-  - grep_search
-  - read_file
-mcpServers:
-  my-custom-server:
-    command: 'node'
-    args: ['path/to/server.js']
---
-```
-
-### Subagent-specific policies
-
-You can enforce fine-grained control over subagents using the
-[Policy Engine's](../reference/policy-engine.md) TOML configuration. This allows
-you to grant or restrict permissions specifically for an agent, without
-affecting the rest of your CLI session.
-
-To restrict a policy rule to a specific subagent, add the `subagent` property to
-the `[[rules]]` block in your `policy.toml` file.
-
-**Example:**
-
-```toml
-[[rules]]
-name = "Allow pr-creator to push code"
-subagent = "pr-creator"
-description = "Permit pr-creator to push branches automatically."
-action = "allow"
-toolName = "run_shell_command"
-commandPrefix = "git push"
-```
-
-In this configuration, the policy rule only triggers if the executing subagent's
-name matches `pr-creator`. Rules without the `subagent` property apply
-universally to all agents.

-#### Safety policies (TOML)

+# Gemini CLI examples
+
+Gemini CLI helps you automate common engineering tasks by combining AI reasoning
+with local system tools. This document provides examples of how to use the CLI
+for file management, code analysis, and data transformation.
+
+> **Note:** These examples demonstrate potential capabilities. Your actual
+> results can vary based on the model used and your project environment.
+
+## Rename your photographs based on content
+
+You can use Gemini CLI to automate file management tasks that require visual
+analysis. In this example, Gemini CLI renames images based on their actual
+subject matter.
+
+Scenario: You have a folder containing the following files:
+
+```bash
+photos/photo1.png
+photos/photo2.png
+photos/photo3.png
+```
+
+Give Gemini the following prompt:
+
+```cli
+Rename the photos in my "photos" directory based on their contents.
+```
+
+Result: Gemini asks for permission to rename your files.
+
+Select **Allow once** and your files are renamed:
+
+```bash
+photos/yellow_flowers.png
+photos/antique_dresser.png
+photos/green_android_robot.png
+```
+
+## Explain a repository by reading its code
+
+Gemini CLI is effective for rapid codebase exploration. The following example
+shows how to ask Gemini CLI to fetch, analyze, and summarize a remote project.
+
+Scenario: You want to understand how a popular open-source utility works by
+inspecting its code, not just its README.
+
+Give Gemini CLI the following prompt:
+
+```cli
+Clone the 'chalk' repository from https://github.com/chalk/chalk, read its key source files, and explain how it works.
+```
+
+Result: Gemini performs a sequence of actions to answer your request.
+
+1.  First, it asks for permission to run `git clone` to download the repository.
+2.  Next, it finds the important source files and asks for permission to read
+    them.
+3.  Finally, after analyzing the code, it provides a summary.
+
+Gemini CLI returns an explanation based on the actual source code:
+
+```markdown
+The `chalk` library is a popular npm package for styling terminal output with
+colors. After analyzing the source code, here's how it works:
+
+- **Core functionality:** The main file sets up a chainable API. Each color or
+  modifier (like `bold` or `italic`) is a getter that appends the corresponding
+  ANSI escape code to an internal stack.
+
+- **Chainable API:** When you call `chalk.red.bold('Hello')`, you are accessing
+  getters. The `red` getter adds the red color code, and the `bold` getter adds
+  the bold code.
+
+- **Output generation:** When the chain is treated as a string (e.g., in
+  `console.log`), a final `toString()` method is called. This method joins all
+  the stored ANSI codes, wraps them around the input string ('Hello'), and adds
+  a reset code at the end. This produces the final, styled string that the
+  terminal can render.
+```
+
+## Combine two spreadsheets into one spreadsheet
+
+Gemini CLI can process and transform data across multiple files. Use this
+capability to merge reports or reformat data sets without manual copying.
+
+Scenario: You have two .csv files: `Revenue - 2023.csv` and

-### Rename your photographs based on content
-
-You can use Gemini CLI to automate file management tasks that require visual
-analysis. In this example, Gemini CLI renames images based on their actual
-subject matter.
-
-Scenario: You have a folder containing the following files:
-
-```bash
-photos/photo1.png
-photos/photo2.png
-photos/photo3.png
-```
-
-Give Gemini the following prompt:
-
-```cli
-Rename the photos in my "photos" directory based on their contents.
-```
-
-Result: Gemini asks for permission to rename your files.
-
-Select **Allow once** and your files are renamed:
-
-```bash
-photos/yellow_flowers.png
-photos/antique_dresser.png
-photos/green_android_robot.png
-```
-
-### Explain a repository by reading its code
-
-Gemini CLI is effective for rapid codebase exploration. The following example
-shows how to ask Gemini CLI to fetch, analyze, and summarize a remote project.
-
-Scenario: You want to understand how a popular open-source utility works by
-inspecting its code, not just its README.
-
-Give Gemini CLI the following prompt:
-
-```cli
-Clone the 'chalk' repository from https://github.com/chalk/chalk, read its key source files, and explain how it works.
-```
-
-Result: Gemini performs a sequence of actions to answer your request.
-
-1.  First, it asks for permission to run `git clone` to download the repository.
-2.  Next, it finds the important source files and asks for permission to read
-    them.
-3.  Finally, after analyzing the code, it provides a summary.
-
-Gemini CLI returns an explanation based on the actual source code:
-
-```markdown
-The `chalk` library is a popular npm package for styling terminal output with
-colors. After analyzing the source code, here's how it works:
-
- **Core functionality:** The main file sets up a chainable API. Each color or
-  modifier (like `bold` or `italic`) is a getter that appends the corresponding
-  ANSI escape code to an internal stack.
-
- **Chainable API:** When you call `chalk.red.bold('Hello')`, you are accessing
-  getters. The `red` getter adds the red color code, and the `bold` getter adds
-  the bold code.
-
- **Output generation:** When the chain is treated as a string (for example, in
-  `console.log`), a final `toString()` method is called. This method joins all
-  the stored ANSI codes, wraps them around the input string ('Hello'), and adds
-  a reset code at the end. This produces the final, styled string that the
-  terminal can render.
-```
-
-### Combine two spreadsheets into one spreadsheet
-
-Gemini CLI can process and transform data across multiple files. Use this
-capability to merge reports or reformat data sets without manual copying.
-
-Scenario: You have two .csv files: `Revenue - 2023.csv` and
-`Revenue - 2024.csv`. Each file contains monthly revenue figures.
-
-Give Gemini CLI the following prompt:
-
-```cli
-Combine the two .csv files into a single .csv file, with each year a different column.
-```
-
-Result: Gemini CLI reads each file and then asks for permission to write a new
-file. Provide your permission and Gemini CLI provides the combined data:
-
-```csv
-Month,2023,2024
-January,0,1000
-February,0,1200
-March,0,2400
-April,900,500

-September,2000,2000
-October,2400,3400
-November,3400,1800
-December,2100,9000
-```
-
-### Run unit tests

+# Gemini CLI installation, execution, and releases
+
+This document provides an overview of Gemini CLI's system requirements,
+installation methods, and release types.
+
+## Recommended system specifications
+
+- **Operating System:**
+  - macOS 15+
+  - Windows 11 24H2+
+  - Ubuntu 20.04+
+- **Hardware:**
+  - "Casual" usage: 4GB+ RAM (short sessions, common tasks and edits)
+  - "Power" usage: 16GB+ RAM (long sessions, large codebases, deep context)
+- **Runtime:** Node.js 20.0.0+
+- **Shell:** Bash, Zsh, or PowerShell
+- **Location:**
+  [Gemini Code Assist supported locations](https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/resources/available-locations#americas)
+- **Internet connection required**
+
+## Install Gemini CLI
+
+We recommend most users install Gemini CLI using one of the following
+installation methods:
+
+- npm
+- Homebrew
+- MacPorts
+- Anaconda
+
+Note that Gemini CLI comes pre-installed on
+[**Cloud Shell**](https://docs.cloud.google.com/shell/docs) and
+[**Cloud Workstations**](https://cloud.google.com/workstations).
+
+### Install globally with npm
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @google/gemini-cli
+```
+
+### Install globally with Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
+
+```bash
+brew install gemini-cli
+```
+
+### Install globally with MacPorts (macOS)
+
+```bash
+sudo port install gemini-cli
+```
+
+### Install with Anaconda (for restricted environments)
+
+```bash
+# Create and activate a new environment
+conda create -y -n gemini_env -c conda-forge nodejs
+conda activate gemini_env
+
+# Install Gemini CLI globally via npm (inside the environment)
+npm install -g @google/gemini-cli
+```
+
+## Run Gemini CLI
+
+For most users, we recommend running Gemini CLI with the `gemini` command:
+
+```bash
+gemini
+```
+
+For a list of options and additional commands, see the
+[CLI cheatsheet](../cli/cli-reference.md).
+
+You can also run Gemini CLI using one of the following advanced methods:
+
+- Run instantly with npx. You can run Gemini CLI without permanent installation.
+- In a sandbox. This method offers increased security and isolation.
+- From the source. This is recommended for contributors to the project.
+
+### Run instantly with npx
+
+```bash
+# Using npx (no installation required)
+npx @google/gemini-cli
+```
+
+You can also execute the CLI directly from the main branch on GitHub, which is
+helpful for testing features still in development:
+
+```bash
+npx https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli
+```
+
+### Run in a sandbox (Docker/Podman)
+
+For security and isolation, Gemini CLI can be run inside a container. This is
+the default way that the CLI executes tools that might have side effects.
+
+- **Directly from the registry:** You can run the published sandbox image
+  directly. This is useful for environments where you only have Docker and want
+  to run the CLI.
+  ```bash
+  # Run the published sandbox image
+  docker run --rm -it us-docker.pkg.dev/gemini-code-dev/gemini-cli/sandbox:0.1.1
+  ```
+- **Using the `--sandbox` flag:** If you have Gemini CLI installed locally
+  (using the standard installation described above), you can instruct it to run
+  inside the sandbox container.
+  ```bash
+  gemini --sandbox -y -p "your prompt here"
+  ```
+
+### Run from source (recommended for Gemini CLI contributors)
+
+Contributors to the project will want to run the CLI directly from the source
+code.
+
+- **Development mode:** This method provides hot-reloading and is useful for
+  active development.
+  ```bash
+  # From the root of the repository
+  npm run start
+  ```
+- **Production-like mode (linked package):** This method simulates a global
+  installation by linking your local package. It's useful for testing a local
+  build in a production workflow.
+
+  ```bash
+  # Link the local cli package to your global node_modules
+  npm link packages/cli
+
+  # Now you can run your local version using the `gemini` command
+  gemini
+  ```
+
+## Releases
+
+Gemini CLI has three release channels: nightly, preview, and stable. For most
+users, we recommend the stable release, which is the default installation.
+
+### Stable
+
+New stable releases are published each week. The stable release is the promotion
+of last week's `preview` release along with any bug fixes. The stable release
+uses `latest` tag, but omitting the tag also installs the latest stable release
+by default:
+
+```bash
+# Both commands install the latest stable release.
+npm install -g @google/gemini-cli
+npm install -g @google/gemini-cli@latest
+```
+
+### Preview
+
+New preview releases will be published each week. These releases are not fully
+vetted and may contain regressions or other outstanding issues. Try out the
+preview release by using the `preview` tag:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @google/gemini-cli@preview
+```
+
+### Nightly
+
+Nightly releases are published every day. The nightly release includes all
+changes from the main branch at time of release. It should be assumed there are
+pending validations and issues. You can help test the latest changes by
+installing with the `nightly` tag:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @google/gemini-cli@nightly
