+
+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.

----
-
-# 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.*

-## 🔬 Rig Selection
-
-| Rig Type          | Import From            | Architecture                                                         | Use When                                                                                              |
-| :---------------- | :--------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **`evalTest`**    | `./test-helper.js`     | **Subprocess**. Runs the CLI in a separate process + waits for exit. | Standard workspace tests. **Do not use `setBreakpoint`**; auditing history (`readToolLogs`) is safer. |
-| **`appEvalTest`** | `./app-test-helper.js` | **In-Process**. Runs directly inside the runner loop.                | UI/Ink rendering. Safe for `setBreakpoint` triggers.                                                  |
-
----
-
-## 🏗️ 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)
-
-Check if a tool is called _early_ using index checks:
-
-```typescript
-assert: async (rig) => {
-  const toolLogs = rig.readToolLogs();
-  const toolCallIndex = toolLogs.findIndex(
-    (log) => log.toolRequest.name === 'cli_help',
-  );
-
-  expect(toolCallIndex).toBeGreaterThan(-1);
-  expect(toolCallIndex).toBeLessThan(5); // Called within first 5 turns
-};
-```

-# 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**.
-    - **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.
-
----
-
-## 4. 📊 Report
-
-Provide a summary of:
-
-- Test success rate for each tested model (e.g., 3/3 = 100%).
-- Root cause identification and fix explanation.
-- If unfixed, provide high-confidence architecture recommendations.

-# 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:
-
-- Which tests were promoted.
-- Provide the success rate evidence (e.g., 7/7 runs passed for all models).
-- If no candidates qualified, list the next closest candidates and their current
-  pass rate.

-# 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.

-# 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.

-#### Required MCP Servers (preview)
-
-**Default**: empty
-
-Allows administrators to define MCP servers that are **always injected** into
-the user's environment. Unlike the allowlist (which filters user-configured
-servers), required servers are automatically added regardless of the user's
-local configuration.
-
-**Required Servers Format:**
-
-```json
-{
-  "requiredMcpServers": {
-    "corp-compliance-tool": {
-      "url": "https://mcp.corp/compliance",
-      "type": "http",
-      "trust": true,
-      "description": "Corporate compliance tool"
-    },
-    "internal-registry": {
-      "url": "https://registry.corp/mcp",
-      "type": "sse",
-      "authProviderType": "google_credentials",
-      "oauth": {
-        "scopes": ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/scope"]
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Supported Fields:**
-
-- `url`: (Required) The full URL of the MCP server endpoint.
-- `type`: (Required) The connection type (`sse` or `http`).
-- `trust`: (Optional) If set to `true`, tool execution will not require user
-  approval. Defaults to `true` for required servers.
-- `description`: (Optional) Human-readable description of the server.
-- `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.

 ## Highlights
 
-- **Subagent Architecture Enhancements:** Significant updates to subagents,
-  including local execution, tool isolation, multi-registry discovery, dynamic
-  tool filtering, and JIT context injection.
-- **Enhanced Security & Sandboxing:** Implemented strict macOS sandboxing using
-  Seatbelt allowlist, native Windows sandboxing, and support for
-  "Write-Protected" governance files.
-- **Agent Context & State Management:** Introduced task tracker protocol
-  integration, 'blocked' statuses for tasks/todos, and `AgentSession` for
-  improved state management and replay semantics.
-- **Browser & ACP Capabilities:** Added privacy consent for the browser agent,
-  sensitive action controls, improved API token usage metadata, and gateway auth
-  support via ACP.
-- **CLI & UX Improvements:** Implemented a refreshed Composer layout, expanded
-  terminal fallback warnings, dynamic model resolution, and Git worktree support
-  for isolated parallel sessions.
+- **Subagents & Architecture Enhancements**: Enabled subagents and laid the
+  foundation for subagent tool isolation. Added proxy routing support for remote
+  A2A subagents and integrated `SandboxManager` to sandbox all process-spawning
+  tools.
+- **CLI & UI Improvements**: Introduced customizable keyboard shortcuts and
+  support for literal character keybindings. Added missing vim mode motions and
+  CJK input support. Enabled code splitting and deferred UI loading for improved
+  performance.
+- **Context & Tools Optimization**: JIT context loading is now enabled by
+  default with deduplication for project memory. Introduced a model-driven
+  parallel tool scheduler and allowed safe tools to execute concurrently.
+- **Security & Extensions**: Implemented cryptographic integrity verification
+  for extension updates and added a `disableAlwaysAllow` setting to prevent
+  auto-approvals for enhanced security.
+- **Plan Mode & Web Fetch Updates**: Added an 'All the above' option for
+  multi-select AskUser questions in Plan Mode. Rolled out Stage 1 and Stage 2
+  security and consistency improvements for the `web_fetch` tool.

-# 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).

-> - Use the **/bug** command within Gemini CLI to file an issue.

-
-## 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

-### Inline Agent Card JSON
-
-<details>
-<summary>View formatting options for JSON strings</summary>
-
-If you don't have an endpoint serving the agent card, you can provide the A2A
-card directly as a JSON string using `agent_card_json`.
-
-When providing a JSON string in YAML, you must properly format it as a string
-scalar. You can use single quotes, a block scalar, or double quotes (which
-require escaping internal double quotes).
-
-#### Using single quotes
-
-Single quotes allow you to embed unescaped double quotes inside the JSON string.
-This format is useful for shorter, single-line JSON strings.
-
-```markdown
----
-kind: remote
-name: single-quotes-agent
-agent_card_json:
-  '{ "protocolVersion": "0.3.0", "name": "Example Agent", "version": "1.0.0",
-  "url": "dummy-url" }'
----
-```
-
-#### Using a block scalar
-
-The literal block scalar (`|`) preserves line breaks and is highly recommended
-for multiline JSON strings as it avoids quote escaping entirely. The following
-is a complete, valid Agent Card configuration using dummy values.
-
-```markdown
----
-kind: remote
-name: block-scalar-agent
-agent_card_json: |
-  {

-          "Show me an example."
-        ]
-      }
-    ]
-  }
----
-```
-
-#### Using double quotes
-
-Double quotes are also supported, but any internal double quotes in your JSON
-must be escaped with a backslash.
-

-(e.g., a local laptop) and resume it seamlessly on another (e.g., a remote
-workstation or a different office machine).
-
-## Data Categorization
-
-Not all data within `~/.gemini` should be treated equally. We categorize the
-contents to determine the most effective synchronization strategy.
-
-- **Static and Configuration:** `settings.json`, `projects.json`, and `policies/`.
-  These are small files with low-frequency updates, making them ideal for simple
-  cloud synchronization.
-- **Sensitive and Identity:** `google_accounts.json` and `installation_id`. These
-  contain refresh tokens and unique identifiers that require high-grade,
-  client-side encryption before leaving the device.
-- **High-Volume and Ephemeral:** `history/`, `tmp/`, and `antigravity/` (browser
-  profiles). These are large or frequently updated. Naive synchronization would
-  be slow and resource-intensive.
-- **Computed and Environment-Specific:** `extension_integrity.json` and
-  `trustedFolders.json`. These often contain absolute local paths that may not
-  be valid across different machines or operating systems.
-
-## Architectural Approaches
-
-We are evaluating three primary methods for implementing cloud synchronization.
-
-### Virtual Filesystem (VFS) Layer
-
-Implement an abstraction layer for Node.js `fs` calls that transparently
-redirects operations to a cloud provider like GCS or S3.
-
-- **Pros:** Requires minimal changes to existing high-level logic.
-- **Cons:** Network latency on every file operation could degrade the user
-  experience. Requires a robust local LRU (Least Recently Used) cache.
-
-### Git-Ops and Snapshot Syncing
-
-Automatically commit and push state changes to a private, hidden repository.
-
-- **Pros:** Provides built-in versioning, conflict resolution, and portability.
-- **Cons:** High overhead for frequent, small writes, such as session history
-  updates.
-
-### Centralized State Server (The "Brain")
-
-Communicate with a lightweight service (gRPC or WebSockets) that acts as the
-single source of truth for the agent's state.
-
-- **Pros:** Enables real-time synchronization across active sessions.
-- **Cons:** Requires a hosted service and a persistent internet connection.
-
-## Technical Considerations
-
-The following table outlines the primary technical challenges and proposed
-solutions for a cloud-synced state.
-
-| Dimension | Challenge | Potential Solution |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| **Performance** | Shell startup latency is critical. | **Stale-While-Revalidate:** Load local cache instantly; sync in the background. |
-| **Security** | Secrets management in the cloud. | **Zero-Knowledge Encryption:** Encrypt secrets client-side with a user passphrase. |
-| **Portability** | Inconsistent absolute paths. | **Path Normalization:** Store paths relative to `$HOME` or use UUIDs. |
-| **Conflicts** | Simultaneous edits on multiple devices. | **CRDTs:** Use Conflict-free Replicated Data Types for plans and history. |
-
-## Hybrid Strategy Proposal
-
-A tiered synchronization model balances performance with portability.
-
-1.  **Tier 1 (Cloud Native):** Sync settings, plans, and global memories
-    immediately via a structured API.
-2.  **Tier 2 (Lazy Sync):** Upload session history and logs at the end of a
-    session or when explicitly resuming on another device.
-3.  **Tier 3 (Local Only):** Keep large caches, browser profiles, and
-    environment-specific integrity checks local to the device.
-
-## Next Steps
-
-To move forward with this proposal, we must perform the following actions:
-
-1.  Audit the current `~/.gemini` directory to determine the typical data
-    volume, particularly within the `history/` folder.
-2.  Identify all files within `~/.gemini` that contain environment-dependent
-    absolute paths.
-3.  Prototype a synchronization provider using a private Git repository or a
-    dedicated cloud storage bucket.
