+## Mission: Find Relevant Documentation
+
+Your task is to find documentation files relevant to the user's question within the current git repository and provide a list of GitHub URLs to view them.
+
+### Workflow:
+
+1.  **Identify Repository Details**:
+    *   You may use shell commands like `git` or `gh` to get the remote URL of the repository.
+    *   From the remote URL, parse and construct the base GitHub URL (e.g., `https://github.com/user/repo`). You must handle both HTTPS (`https://github.com/user/repo.git`) and SSH (`git@github.com:user/repo.git`) formats.
+    *   Determine the default branch name. You can assume `main` for this purpose, as it is the most common.
+
+2.  **Search for Documentation**:
+    *   First, perform a targeted search across the repository for documentation files (e.g., `.md`, `.mdx`) that seem directly related to the user's question.
+    *   If this initial search yields no relevant results, and a `docs/` directory exists, read the content of all files within the `docs/` directory to find relevant information.
+    *   If you still can't find a direct match, broaden your search to include related concepts and synonyms of the keywords in the user's question.
+    *   For each file you identify as potentially relevant, read its content to confirm it addresses the user's query.
+
+3.  **Construct and Output URLs**:
+    *   For each file you identify as relevant, construct the full GitHub URL by combining the base URL, branch, and file path. **Do not use shell commands for this step.**
+    *   The URL format should be: `{BASE_GITHUB_URL}/blob/{BRANCH_NAME}/{PATH_TO_FILE_FROM_REPO_ROOT}`.
+    *   Present the final list to the user as a markdown list. Each item in the list should be the URL to the document, followed by a short summary of its content.
+    *   If, after all search attempts, you cannot find any relevant documentation, ask the user clarifying questions to better understand their needs. Do not return any URLs in this case.

+I'm done with the work on this branch, and I'm ready to go back to main and clean up.
+
+Here is the workflow I'd like you to follow:
+
+1.  **Get Current Branch:** First, I need you to get the name of the current branch and save it.
+2.  **Branch Check:** Check if the current branch is `main`. If it is, I need you to stop and let me know.
+3.  **Go to Main:** Next, I need you to checkout the main branch.
+4.  **Pull Latest:** Once you are on the main branch, I need you to pull down the latest changes to make sure I'm up to date.
+5.  **Branch Cleanup:** Finally, I need you to delete the branch that you noted in the first step.

+## Mission: Comprehensive Pull Request Review
+
+Today, our mission is to meticulously review community pull requests (PRs) for this project. We will proceed systematically, evaluating each candidate PR for its quality, adherence to standards, and readiness for merging.
+
+### Workflow:
+
+1.  **PR Preparation & Initial Assessment**:
+    * **You will check out the designated PR {{args}}** into a temporary branch.
+    * **Execute the preflight checks (`npm run preflight`)**. This includes building, linting, and running all unit tests.
+    * Analyze the output of these preflight checks, noting any failures, warnings, or linting issues.
+
+2.  **In-Depth Code Review**:
+    * **Your primary role is to conduct a thorough and in-depth code review** of the changes introduced in the PR. Focus your analysis on the following criteria:
+        * **Correctness**: Does the code achieve its stated purpose without bugs or logical errors?
+        * **Maintainability**: Is the code clean, well-structured, and easy to understand and modify in the future? Consider factors like code clarity, modularity, and adherence to established design patterns.
+        * **Readability**: Is the code well-commented (where necessary) and consistently formatted according to our project's coding style guidelines?
+        * **Efficiency**: Are there any obvious performance bottlenecks or resource inefficiencies introduced by the changes?
+        * **Security**: Are there any potential security vulnerabilities or insecure coding practices?
+        * **Edge Cases and Error Handling**: Does the code appropriately handle edge cases and potential errors?
+        * **Testability**: Is the new or modified code adequately covered by tests (even if preflight checks pass)? Suggest additional test cases that would improve coverage or robustness.
+    * Based on your analysis, you will determine if the PR is **safe to merge**.
+
+3.  **Reviewing Previous Feedback**:
+    * **Access and examine the PR's history** to identify any **outstanding requests or unresolved comments from previous reviews**. Incorporate these into your current review and explicitly highlight if they have been adequately addressed in the current state of the PR.
+
+4.  **Decision and Output Generation**:
+    * **If the PR is deemed safe to merge** (after your comprehensive review and considering previous feedback):
+        * Draft a **friendly, concise, and professional approval message**.
+        * **The approval message should:**
+            * Clearly state that the PR is approved.
+            * Briefly acknowledge the quality or value of the contribution (e.g., "Great work on X feature!" or "Appreciate the fix for Y issue!").
+            * **Do NOT mention the preflight checks or unit testing**, as these are internal processes.
+            * Be suitable for public display on GitHub.
+    * **If the PR is NOT safe to merge**:
+        * Provide a **clear, constructive, and detailed summary of the issues found**.
+        * Suggest **specific actionable changes** required for the PR to become merge-ready.
+        * Ensure the feedback is professional and encourages the contributor.
+
+### Post-PR Action:
+
+* After providing your review and decision for the current PR, I will wait for you to perform any manual testing you wish to do. Please let me know when you are finished.
+* Once you have confirmed that you are done, I will switch to the `main` branch, clean up the local branch, and perform a pull to ensure we are synchronized with the latest upstream changes for the next review.

+# Gemini CLI Configuration
+
+**Note on Deprecated Configuration Format**
+
+This document describes the legacy v1 format for the `settings.json` file. This format is now deprecated.
+
+- The new format will be supported in the stable release starting **[09/10/25]**.
+- Automatic migration from the old format to the new format will begin on **[09/17/25]**.
+
+For details on the new, recommended format, please see the [current Configuration documentation](./configuration.md).
+
+Gemini CLI offers several ways to configure its behavior, including environment variables, command-line arguments, and settings files. This document outlines the different configuration methods and available settings.
+
+## Configuration layers
+
+Configuration is applied in the following order of precedence (lower numbers are overridden by higher numbers):
+
+1.  **Default values:** Hardcoded defaults within the application.
+2.  **System defaults file:** System-wide default settings that can be overridden by other settings files.
+3.  **User settings file:** Global settings for the current user.
+4.  **Project settings file:** Project-specific settings.
+5.  **System settings file:** System-wide settings that override all other settings files.
+6.  **Environment variables:** System-wide or session-specific variables, potentially loaded from `.env` files.
+7.  **Command-line arguments:** Values passed when launching the CLI.
+
+## Settings files
+
+Gemini CLI uses JSON settings files for persistent configuration. There are four locations for these files:
+
+- **System defaults file:**
+  - **Location:** `/etc/gemini-cli/system-defaults.json` (Linux), `C:\ProgramData\gemini-cli\system-defaults.json` (Windows) or `/Library/Application Support/GeminiCli/system-defaults.json` (macOS). The path can be overridden using the `GEMINI_CLI_SYSTEM_DEFAULTS_PATH` environment variable.
+  - **Scope:** Provides a base layer of system-wide default settings. These settings have the lowest precedence and are intended to be overridden by user, project, or system override settings.
+- **User settings file:**
+  - **Location:** `~/.gemini/settings.json` (where `~` is your home directory).
+  - **Scope:** Applies to all Gemini CLI sessions for the current user. User settings override system defaults.
+- **Project settings file:**
+  - **Location:** `.gemini/settings.json` within your project's root directory.
+  - **Scope:** Applies only when running Gemini CLI from that specific project. Project settings override user settings and system defaults.
+- **System settings file:**
+  - **Location:** `/etc/gemini-cli/settings.json` (Linux), `C:\ProgramData\gemini-cli\settings.json` (Windows) or `/Library/Application Support/GeminiCli/settings.json` (macOS). The path can be overridden using the `GEMINI_CLI_SYSTEM_SETTINGS_PATH` environment variable.
+  - **Scope:** Applies to all Gemini CLI sessions on the system, for all users. System settings act as overrides, taking precedence over all other settings files. May be useful for system administrators at enterprises to have controls over users' Gemini CLI setups.
+
+**Note on environment variables in settings:** String values within your `settings.json` files can reference environment variables using either `$VAR_NAME` or `${VAR_NAME}` syntax. These variables will be automatically resolved when the settings are loaded. For example, if you have an environment variable `MY_API_TOKEN`, you could use it in `settings.json` like this: `"apiKey": "$MY_API_TOKEN"`.
+
+> **Note for Enterprise Users:** For guidance on deploying and managing Gemini CLI in a corporate environment, please see the [Enterprise Configuration](./enterprise.md) documentation.
+
+### The `.gemini` directory in your project
+
+In addition to a project settings file, a project's `.gemini` directory can contain other project-specific files related to Gemini CLI's operation, such as:
+
+- [Custom sandbox profiles](#sandboxing) (e.g., `.gemini/sandbox-macos-custom.sb`, `.gemini/sandbox.Dockerfile`).
+
+### Available settings in `settings.json`:
+
+- **`contextFileName`** (string or array of strings):
+  - **Description:** Specifies the filename for context files (e.g., `GEMINI.md`, `AGENTS.md`). Can be a single filename or a list of accepted filenames.
+  - **Default:** `GEMINI.md`
+  - **Example:** `"contextFileName": "AGENTS.md"`
+
+- **`bugCommand`** (object):
+  - **Description:** Overrides the default URL for the `/bug` command.
+  - **Default:** `"urlTemplate": "https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/new?template=bug_report.yml&title={title}&info={info}"`
+  - **Properties:**
+    - **`urlTemplate`** (string): A URL that can contain `{title}` and `{info}` placeholders.
+  - **Example:**
+    ```json
+    "bugCommand": {
+      "urlTemplate": "https://bug.example.com/new?title={title}&info={info}"
+    }
+    ```
+
+- **`fileFiltering`** (object):
+  - **Description:** Controls git-aware file filtering behavior for @ commands and file discovery tools.
+  - **Default:** `"respectGitIgnore": true, "enableRecursiveFileSearch": true`
+  - **Properties:**
+    - **`respectGitIgnore`** (boolean): Whether to respect .gitignore patterns when discovering files. When set to `true`, git-ignored files (like `node_modules/`, `dist/`, `.env`) are automatically excluded from @ commands and file listing operations.
+    - **`enableRecursiveFileSearch`** (boolean): Whether to enable searching recursively for filenames under the current tree when completing @ prefixes in the prompt.
+    - **`disableFuzzySearch`** (boolean): When `true`, disables the fuzzy search capabilities when searching for files, which can improve performance on projects with a large number of files.
+  - **Example:**
+    ```json
+    "fileFiltering": {
+      "respectGitIgnore": true,
+      "enableRecursiveFileSearch": false,
+      "disableFuzzySearch": true
+    }
+    ```
+
+### Troubleshooting File Search Performance
+
+If you are experiencing performance issues with file searching (e.g., with `@` completions), especially in projects with a very large number of files, here are a few things you can try in order of recommendation:
+
+1.  **Use `.geminiignore`:** Create a `.geminiignore` file in your project root to exclude directories that contain a large number of files that you don't need to reference (e.g., build artifacts, logs, `node_modules`). Reducing the total number of files crawled is the most effective way to improve performance.
+
+2.  **Disable Fuzzy Search:** If ignoring files is not enough, you can disable fuzzy search by setting `disableFuzzySearch` to `true` in your `settings.json` file. This will use a simpler, non-fuzzy matching algorithm, which can be faster.
+
+3.  **Disable Recursive File Search:** As a last resort, you can disable recursive file search entirely by setting `enableRecursiveFileSearch` to `false`. This will be the fastest option as it avoids a recursive crawl of your project. However, it means you will need to type the full path to files when using `@` completions.
+
+- **`coreTools`** (array of strings):
+  - **Description:** Allows you to specify a list of core tool names that should be made available to the model. This can be used to restrict the set of built-in tools. See [Built-in Tools](../core/tools-api.md#built-in-tools) for a list of core tools. You can also specify command-specific restrictions for tools that support it, like the `ShellTool`. For example, `"coreTools": ["ShellTool(ls -l)"]` will only allow the `ls -l` command to be executed.
+  - **Default:** All tools available for use by the Gemini model.
+  - **Example:** `"coreTools": ["ReadFileTool", "GlobTool", "ShellTool(ls)"]`.
+
+- **`allowedTools`** (array of strings):
+  - **Default:** `undefined`
+  - **Description:** A list of tool names that will bypass the confirmation dialog. This is useful for tools that you trust and use frequently. The match semantics are the same as `coreTools`.
+  - **Example:** `"allowedTools": ["ShellTool(git status)"]`.
+
+- **`excludeTools`** (array of strings):
+  - **Description:** Allows you to specify a list of core tool names that should be excluded from the model. A tool listed in both `excludeTools` and `coreTools` is excluded. You can also specify command-specific restrictions for tools that support it, like the `ShellTool`. For example, `"excludeTools": ["ShellTool(rm -rf)"]` will block the `rm -rf` command.
+  - **Default**: No tools excluded.
+  - **Example:** `"excludeTools": ["run_shell_command", "findFiles"]`.
+  - **Security Note:** Command-specific restrictions in
+    `excludeTools` for `run_shell_command` are based on simple string matching and can be easily bypassed. This feature is **not a security mechanism** and should not be relied upon to safely execute untrusted code. It is recommended to use `coreTools` to explicitly select commands
+    that can be executed.
+
+- **`allowMCPServers`** (array of strings):
+  - **Description:** Allows you to specify a list of MCP server names that should be made available to the model. This can be used to restrict the set of MCP servers to connect to. Note that this will be ignored if `--allowed-mcp-server-names` is set.
+  - **Default:** All MCP servers are available for use by the Gemini model.
+  - **Example:** `"allowMCPServers": ["myPythonServer"]`.
+  - **Security Note:** This uses simple string matching on MCP server names, which can be modified. If you're a system administrator looking to prevent users from bypassing this, consider configuring the `mcpServers` at the system settings level such that the user will not be able to configure any MCP servers of their own. This should not be used as an airtight security mechanism.
+
+- **`excludeMCPServers`** (array of strings):
+  - **Description:** Allows you to specify a list of MCP server names that should be excluded from the model. A server listed in both `excludeMCPServers` and `allowMCPServers` is excluded. Note that this will be ignored if `--allowed-mcp-server-names` is set.
+  - **Default**: No MCP servers excluded.
+  - **Example:** `"excludeMCPServers": ["myNodeServer"]`.
+  - **Security Note:** This uses simple string matching on MCP server names, which can be modified. If you're a system administrator looking to prevent users from bypassing this, consider configuring the `mcpServers` at the system settings level such that the user will not be able to configure any MCP servers of their own. This should not be used as an airtight security mechanism.
+
+- **`autoAccept`** (boolean):
+  - **Description:** Controls whether the CLI automatically accepts and executes tool calls that are considered safe (e.g., read-only operations) without explicit user confirmation. If set to `true`, the CLI will bypass the confirmation prompt for tools deemed safe.
+  - **Default:** `false`
+  - **Example:** `"autoAccept": true`
+
+- **`theme`** (string):
+  - **Description:** Sets the visual [theme](./themes.md) for Gemini CLI.
+  - **Default:** `"Default"`
+  - **Example:** `"theme": "GitHub"`
+
+- **`vimMode`** (boolean):
+  - **Description:** Enables or disables vim mode for input editing. When enabled, the input area supports vim-style navigation and editing commands with NORMAL and INSERT modes. The vim mode status is displayed in the footer and persists between sessions.
+  - **Default:** `false`
+  - **Example:** `"vimMode": true`
+
+- **`sandbox`** (boolean or string):
+  - **Description:** Controls whether and how to use sandboxing for tool execution. If set to `true`, Gemini CLI uses a pre-built `gemini-cli-sandbox` Docker image. For more information, see [Sandboxing](#sandboxing).
+  - **Default:** `false`
+  - **Example:** `"sandbox": "docker"`
+
+- **`toolDiscoveryCommand`** (string):
+  - **Description:** Defines a custom shell command for discovering tools from your project. The shell command must return on `stdout` a JSON array of [function declarations](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/function-calling#function-declarations). Tool wrappers are optional.
+  - **Default:** Empty
+  - **Example:** `"toolDiscoveryCommand": "bin/get_tools"`
+
+- **`toolCallCommand`** (string):
+  - **Description:** Defines a custom shell command for calling a specific tool that was discovered using `toolDiscoveryCommand`. The shell command must meet the following criteria:
+    - It must take function `name` (exactly as in [function declaration](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/function-calling#function-declarations)) as first command line argument.
+    - It must read function arguments as JSON on `stdin`, analogous to [`functionCall.args`](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/model-reference/inference#functioncall).
+    - It must return function output as JSON on `stdout`, analogous to [`functionResponse.response.content`](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/model-reference/inference#functionresponse).
+  - **Default:** Empty
+  - **Example:** `"toolCallCommand": "bin/call_tool"`
+
+- **`mcpServers`** (object):
+  - **Description:** Configures connections to one or more Model-Context Protocol (MCP) servers for discovering and using custom tools. Gemini CLI attempts to connect to each configured MCP server to discover available tools. If multiple MCP servers expose a tool with the same name, the tool names will be prefixed with the server alias you defined in the configuration (e.g., `serverAlias__actualToolName`) to avoid conflicts. Note that the system might strip certain schema properties from MCP tool definitions for compatibility. At least one of `command`, `url`, or `httpUrl` must be provided. If multiple are specified, the order of precedence is `httpUrl`, then `url`, then `command`.
+  - **Default:** Empty
+  - **Properties:**
+    - **`<SERVER_NAME>`** (object): The server parameters for the named server.
+      - `command` (string, optional): The command to execute to start the MCP server via standard I/O.
+      - `args` (array of strings, optional): Arguments to pass to the command.
+      - `env` (object, optional): Environment variables to set for the server process.
+      - `cwd` (string, optional): The working directory in which to start the server.
+      - `url` (string, optional): The URL of an MCP server that uses Server-Sent Events (SSE) for communication.
+      - `httpUrl` (string, optional): The URL of an MCP server that uses streamable HTTP for communication.
+      - `headers` (object, optional): A map of HTTP headers to send with requests to `url` or `httpUrl`.
+      - `timeout` (number, optional): Timeout in milliseconds for requests to this MCP server.
+      - `trust` (boolean, optional): Trust this server and bypass all tool call confirmations.
+      - `description` (string, optional): A brief description of the server, which may be used for display purposes.
+      - `includeTools` (array of strings, optional): List of tool names to include from this MCP server. When specified, only the tools listed here will be available from this server (allowlist behavior). If not specified, all tools from the server are enabled by default.
+      - `excludeTools` (array of strings, optional): List of tool names to exclude from this MCP server. Tools listed here will not be available to the model, even if they are exposed by the server. **Note:** `excludeTools` takes precedence over `includeTools` - if a tool is in both lists, it will be excluded.
+  - **Example:**
+    ```json
+    "mcpServers": {
+      "myPythonServer": {
+        "command": "python",

+
+## Shell History
+
+The CLI keeps a history of shell commands you run. To avoid conflicts between different projects, this history is stored in a project-specific directory within your user's home folder.
+
+- **Location:** `~/.gemini/tmp/<project_hash>/shell_history`
+  - `<project_hash>` is a unique identifier generated from your project's root path.
+  - The history is stored in a file named `shell_history`.
+
+## Environment Variables & `.env` Files
+
+Environment variables are a common way to configure applications, especially for sensitive information like API keys or for settings that might change between environments. For authentication setup, see the [Authentication documentation](./authentication.md) which covers all available authentication methods.
+
+The CLI automatically loads environment variables from an `.env` file. The loading order is:
+
+1.  `.env` file in the current working directory.
+2.  If not found, it searches upwards in parent directories until it finds an `.env` file or reaches the project root (identified by a `.git` folder) or the home directory.
+3.  If still not found, it looks for `~/.env` (in the user's home directory).
+
+**Environment Variable Exclusion:** Some environment variables (like `DEBUG` and `DEBUG_MODE`) are automatically excluded from being loaded from project `.env` files to prevent interference with gemini-cli behavior. Variables from `.gemini/.env` files are never excluded. You can customize this behavior using the `excludedProjectEnvVars` setting in your `settings.json` file.
+
+- **`GEMINI_API_KEY`**:
+  - Your API key for the Gemini API.
+  - One of several available [authentication methods](./authentication.md).
+  - Set this in your shell profile (e.g., `~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`) or an `.env` file.
+- **`GEMINI_MODEL`**:
+  - Specifies the default Gemini model to use.
+  - Overrides the hardcoded default
+  - Example: `export GEMINI_MODEL="gemini-2.5-flash"`
+- **`GOOGLE_API_KEY`**:
+  - Your Google Cloud API key.
+  - Required for using Vertex AI in express mode.
+  - Ensure you have the necessary permissions.
+  - Example: `export GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"`.
+- **`GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT`**:
+  - Your Google Cloud Project ID.
+  - Required for using Code Assist or Vertex AI.
+  - If using Vertex AI, ensure you have the necessary permissions in this project.
+  - **Cloud Shell Note:** When running in a Cloud Shell environment, this variable defaults to a special project allocated for Cloud Shell users. If you have `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` set in your global environment in Cloud Shell, it will be overridden by this default. To use a different project in Cloud Shell, you must define `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` in a `.env` file.
+  - Example: `export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"`.
+- **`GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`** (string):
+  - **Description:** The path to your Google Application Credentials JSON file.
+  - **Example:** `export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/your/credentials.json"`
+- **`OTLP_GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT`**:
+  - Your Google Cloud Project ID for Telemetry in Google Cloud
+  - Example: `export OTLP_GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"`.
+- **`GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION`**:
+  - Your Google Cloud Project Location (e.g., us-central1).
+  - Required for using Vertex AI in non express mode.
+  - Example: `export GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION="YOUR_PROJECT_LOCATION"`.
+- **`GEMINI_SANDBOX`**:
+  - Alternative to the `sandbox` setting in `settings.json`.
+  - Accepts `true`, `false`, `docker`, `podman`, or a custom command string.
+- **`SEATBELT_PROFILE`** (macOS specific):
+  - Switches the Seatbelt (`sandbox-exec`) profile on macOS.
+  - `permissive-open`: (Default) Restricts writes to the project folder (and a few other folders, see `packages/cli/src/utils/sandbox-macos-permissive-open.sb`) but allows other operations.
+  - `strict`: Uses a strict profile that declines operations by default.
+  - `<profile_name>`: Uses a custom profile. To define a custom profile, create a file named `sandbox-macos-<profile_name>.sb` in your project's `.gemini/` directory (e.g., `my-project/.gemini/sandbox-macos-custom.sb`).
+- **`DEBUG` or `DEBUG_MODE`** (often used by underlying libraries or the CLI itself):
+  - Set to `true` or `1` to enable verbose debug logging, which can be helpful for troubleshooting.
+  - **Note:** These variables are automatically excluded from project `.env` files by default to prevent interference with gemini-cli behavior. Use `.gemini/.env` files if you need to set these for gemini-cli specifically.
+- **`NO_COLOR`**:
+  - Set to any value to disable all color output in the CLI.
+- **`CLI_TITLE`**:
+  - Set to a string to customize the title of the CLI.
+- **`CODE_ASSIST_ENDPOINT`**:
+  - Specifies the endpoint for the code assist server.
+  - This is useful for development and testing.

+
+## Context Files (Hierarchical Instructional Context)
+
+While not strictly configuration for the CLI's _behavior_, context files (defaulting to `GEMINI.md` but configurable via the `contextFileName` setting) are crucial for configuring the _instructional context_ (also referred to as "memory") provided to the Gemini model. This powerful feature allows you to give project-specific instructions, coding style guides, or any relevant background information to the AI, making its responses more tailored and accurate to your needs. The CLI includes UI elements, such as an indicator in the footer showing the number of loaded context files, to keep you informed about the active context.
+
+- **Purpose:** These Markdown files contain instructions, guidelines, or context that you want the Gemini model to be aware of during your interactions. The system is designed to manage this instructional context hierarchically.
+
+### Example Context File Content (e.g., `GEMINI.md`)
+
+Here's a conceptual example of what a context file at the root of a TypeScript project might contain:
+
+```markdown
+# Project: My Awesome TypeScript Library
+
+## General Instructions:
+
+- When generating new TypeScript code, please follow the existing coding style.
+- Ensure all new functions and classes have JSDoc comments.
+- Prefer functional programming paradigms where appropriate.
+- All code should be compatible with TypeScript 5.0 and Node.js 20+.
+
+## Coding Style:
+
+- Use 2 spaces for indentation.
+- Interface names should be prefixed with `I` (e.g., `IUserService`).
+- Private class members should be prefixed with an underscore (`_`).
+- Always use strict equality (`===` and `!==`).
+
+## Specific Component: `src/api/client.ts`
+
+- This file handles all outbound API requests.
+- When adding new API call functions, ensure they include robust error handling and logging.
+- Use the existing `fetchWithRetry` utility for all GET requests.
+
+## Regarding Dependencies:
+
+- Avoid introducing new external dependencies unless absolutely necessary.
+- If a new dependency is required, please state the reason.
+```
+
+This example demonstrates how you can provide general project context, specific coding conventions, and even notes about particular files or components. The more relevant and precise your context files are, the better the AI can assist you. Project-specific context files are highly encouraged to establish conventions and context.
+
+- **Hierarchical Loading and Precedence:** The CLI implements a sophisticated hierarchical memory system by loading context files (e.g., `GEMINI.md`) from several locations. Content from files lower in this list (more specific) typically overrides or supplements content from files higher up (more general). The exact concatenation order and final context can be inspected using the `/memory show` command. The typical loading order is:
+  1.  **Global Context File:**
+      - Location: `~/.gemini/<contextFileName>` (e.g., `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md` in your user home directory).
+      - Scope: Provides default instructions for all your projects.
+  2.  **Project Root & Ancestors Context Files:**
+      - Location: The CLI searches for the configured context file in the current working directory and then in each parent directory up to either the project root (identified by a `.git` folder) or your home directory.
+      - Scope: Provides context relevant to the entire project or a significant portion of it.
+  3.  **Sub-directory Context Files (Contextual/Local):**
+      - Location: The CLI also scans for the configured context file in subdirectories _below_ the current working directory (respecting common ignore patterns like `node_modules`, `.git`, etc.). The breadth of this search is limited to 200 directories by default, but can be configured with a `memoryDiscoveryMaxDirs` field in your `settings.json` file.
+      - Scope: Allows for highly specific instructions relevant to a particular component, module, or subsection of your project.
+- **Concatenation & UI Indication:** The contents of all found context files are concatenated (with separators indicating their origin and path) and provided as part of the system prompt to the Gemini model. The CLI footer displays the count of loaded context files, giving you a quick visual cue about the active instructional context.
+- **Importing Content:** You can modularize your context files by importing other Markdown files using the `@path/to/file.md` syntax. For more details, see the [Memory Import Processor documentation](../core/memport.md).
+- **Commands for Memory Management:**
+  - Use `/memory refresh` to force a re-scan and reload of all context files from all configured locations. This updates the AI's instructional context.
+  - Use `/memory show` to display the combined instructional context currently loaded, allowing you to verify the hierarchy and content being used by the AI.
+  - See the [Commands documentation](./commands.md#memory) for full details on the `/memory` command and its sub-commands (`show` and `refresh`).
+
+By understanding and utilizing these configuration layers and the hierarchical nature of context files, you can effectively manage the AI's memory and tailor the Gemini CLI's responses to your specific needs and projects.
+
+## Sandboxing
+
+The Gemini CLI can execute potentially unsafe operations (like shell commands and file modifications) within a sandboxed environment to protect your system.
+
+Sandboxing is disabled by default, but you can enable it in a few ways:
+
+- Using `--sandbox` or `-s` flag.
+- Setting `GEMINI_SANDBOX` environment variable.
+- Sandbox is enabled when using `--yolo` or `--approval-mode=yolo` by default.
+
+By default, it uses a pre-built `gemini-cli-sandbox` Docker image.
+
+For project-specific sandboxing needs, you can create a custom Dockerfile at `.gemini/sandbox.Dockerfile` in your project's root directory. This Dockerfile can be based on the base sandbox image:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM gemini-cli-sandbox
+
+# Add your custom dependencies or configurations here
+# For example:
+# RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y some-package
+# COPY ./my-config /app/my-config
+```
+
+When `.gemini/sandbox.Dockerfile` exists, you can use `BUILD_SANDBOX` environment variable when running Gemini CLI to automatically build the custom sandbox image:
+
+```bash
+BUILD_SANDBOX=1 gemini -s
+```
+
+## Usage Statistics
+
+To help us improve the Gemini CLI, we collect anonymized usage statistics. This data helps us understand how the CLI is used, identify common issues, and prioritize new features.
+
+**What we collect:**
+
+- **Tool Calls:** We log the names of the tools that are called, whether they succeed or fail, and how long they take to execute. We do not collect the arguments passed to the tools or any data returned by them.
+- **API Requests:** We log the Gemini model used for each request, the duration of the request, and whether it was successful. We do not collect the content of the prompts or responses.
+- **Session Information:** We collect information about the configuration of the CLI, such as the enabled tools and the approval mode.
+
+**What we DON'T collect:**
+
+- **Personally Identifiable Information (PII):** We do not collect any personal information, such as your name, email address, or API keys.
+- **Prompt and Response Content:** We do not log the content of your prompts or the responses from the Gemini model.
+- **File Content:** We do not log the content of any files that are read or written by the CLI.
+
+**How to opt out:**
+
+You can opt out of usage statistics collection at any time by setting the `usageStatisticsEnabled` property to `false` in your `settings.json` file:
+
+```json
+{
+  "usageStatisticsEnabled": false
+}
+```

-
-### Troubleshooting File Search Performance
-
-If you are experiencing performance issues with file searching (e.g., with `@` completions), especially in projects with a very large number of files, here are a few things you can try in order of recommendation:
-
-1.  **Use `.geminiignore`:** Create a `.geminiignore` file in your project root to exclude directories that contain a large number of files that you don't need to reference (e.g., build artifacts, logs, `node_modules`). Reducing the total number of files crawled is the most effective way to improve performance.
-
-2.  **Disable Fuzzy Search:** If ignoring files is not enough, you can disable fuzzy search by setting `disableFuzzySearch` to `true` in your `settings.json` file. This will use a simpler, non-fuzzy matching algorithm, which can be faster.
-
-3.  **Disable Recursive File Search:** As a last resort, you can disable recursive file search entirely by setting `enableRecursiveFileSearch` to `false`. This will be the fastest option as it avoids a recursive crawl of your project. However, it means you will need to type the full path to files when using `@` completions.
-
-- **`coreTools`** (array of strings):
-  - **Description:** Allows you to specify a list of core tool names that should be made available to the model. This can be used to restrict the set of built-in tools. See [Built-in Tools](../core/tools-api.md#built-in-tools) for a list of core tools. You can also specify command-specific restrictions for tools that support it, like the `ShellTool`. For example, `"coreTools": ["ShellTool(ls -l)"]` will only allow the `ls -l` command to be executed.
-  - **Default:** All tools available for use by the Gemini model.
-  - **Example:** `"coreTools": ["ReadFileTool", "GlobTool", "ShellTool(ls)"]`.
-
-- **`allowedTools`** (array of strings):
+- **`general.preferredEditor`** (string):
+  - **Description:** The preferred editor to open files in.
   - **Default:** `undefined`
-  - **Description:** A list of tool names that will bypass the confirmation dialog. This is useful for tools that you trust and use frequently. The match semantics are the same as `coreTools`.
-  - **Example:** `"allowedTools": ["ShellTool(git status)"]`.
 
-- **`excludeTools`** (array of strings):
-  - **Description:** Allows you to specify a list of core tool names that should be excluded from the model. A tool listed in both `excludeTools` and `coreTools` is excluded. You can also specify command-specific restrictions for tools that support it, like the `ShellTool`. For example, `"excludeTools": ["ShellTool(rm -rf)"]` will block the `rm -rf` command.
-  - **Default**: No tools excluded.
-  - **Example:** `"excludeTools": ["run_shell_command", "findFiles"]`.
-  - **Security Note:** Command-specific restrictions in
-    `excludeTools` for `run_shell_command` are based on simple string matching and can be easily bypassed. This feature is **not a security mechanism** and should not be relied upon to safely execute untrusted code. It is recommended to use `coreTools` to explicitly select commands
-    that can be executed.
-
-- **`allowMCPServers`** (array of strings):
-  - **Description:** Allows you to specify a list of MCP server names that should be made available to the model. This can be used to restrict the set of MCP servers to connect to. Note that this will be ignored if `--allowed-mcp-server-names` is set.
-  - **Default:** All MCP servers are available for use by the Gemini model.
-  - **Example:** `"allowMCPServers": ["myPythonServer"]`.
-  - **Security Note:** This uses simple string matching on MCP server names, which can be modified. If you're a system administrator looking to prevent users from bypassing this, consider configuring the `mcpServers` at the system settings level such that the user will not be able to configure any MCP servers of their own. This should not be used as an airtight security mechanism.
-
-- **`excludeMCPServers`** (array of strings):
-  - **Description:** Allows you to specify a list of MCP server names that should be excluded from the model. A server listed in both `excludeMCPServers` and `allowMCPServers` is excluded. Note that this will be ignored if `--allowed-mcp-server-names` is set.
-  - **Default**: No MCP servers excluded.
-  - **Example:** `"excludeMCPServers": ["myNodeServer"]`.
-  - **Security Note:** This uses simple string matching on MCP server names, which can be modified. If you're a system administrator looking to prevent users from bypassing this, consider configuring the `mcpServers` at the system settings level such that the user will not be able to configure any MCP servers of their own. This should not be used as an airtight security mechanism.
-
-- **`autoAccept`** (boolean):
-  - **Description:** Controls whether the CLI automatically accepts and executes tool calls that are considered safe (e.g., read-only operations) without explicit user confirmation. If set to `true`, the CLI will bypass the confirmation prompt for tools deemed safe.

-- **`mcpServers`** (object):
-  - **Description:** Configures connections to one or more Model-Context Protocol (MCP) servers for discovering and using custom tools. Gemini CLI attempts to connect to each configured MCP server to discover available tools. If multiple MCP servers expose a tool with the same name, the tool names will be prefixed with the server alias you defined in the configuration (e.g., `serverAlias__actualToolName`) to avoid conflicts. Note that the system might strip certain schema properties from MCP tool definitions for compatibility. At least one of `command`, `url`, or `httpUrl` must be provided. If multiple are specified, the order of precedence is `httpUrl`, then `url`, then `command`.
-  - **Default:** Empty
-  - **Properties:**
-    - **`<SERVER_NAME>`** (object): The server parameters for the named server.
-      - `command` (string, optional): The command to execute to start the MCP server via standard I/O.
-      - `args` (array of strings, optional): Arguments to pass to the command.
-      - `env` (object, optional): Environment variables to set for the server process.
-      - `cwd` (string, optional): The working directory in which to start the server.
-      - `url` (string, optional): The URL of an MCP server that uses Server-Sent Events (SSE) for communication.
-      - `httpUrl` (string, optional): The URL of an MCP server that uses streamable HTTP for communication.
-      - `headers` (object, optional): A map of HTTP headers to send with requests to `url` or `httpUrl`.
-      - `timeout` (number, optional): Timeout in milliseconds for requests to this MCP server.
-      - `trust` (boolean, optional): Trust this server and bypass all tool call confirmations.
-      - `description` (string, optional): A brief description of the server, which may be used for display purposes.
-      - `includeTools` (array of strings, optional): List of tool names to include from this MCP server. When specified, only the tools listed here will be available from this server (whitelist behavior). If not specified, all tools from the server are enabled by default.
-      - `excludeTools` (array of strings, optional): List of tool names to exclude from this MCP server. Tools listed here will not be available to the model, even if they are exposed by the server. **Note:** `excludeTools` takes precedence over `includeTools` - if a tool is in both lists, it will be excluded.

 - **Hierarchical Loading and Precedence:** The CLI implements a sophisticated hierarchical memory system by loading context files (e.g., `GEMINI.md`) from several locations. Content from files lower in this list (more specific) typically overrides or supplements content from files higher up (more general). The exact concatenation order and final context can be inspected using the `/memory show` command. The typical loading order is:
   1.  **Global Context File:**
-      - Location: `~/.gemini/<contextFileName>` (e.g., `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md` in your user home directory).
+      - Location: `~/.gemini/<configured-context-filename>` (e.g., `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md` in your user home directory).
       - Scope: Provides default instructions for all your projects.
   2.  **Project Root & Ancestors Context Files:**
       - Location: The CLI searches for the configured context file in the current working directory and then in each parent directory up to either the project root (identified by a `.git` folder) or your home directory.
       - Scope: Provides context relevant to the entire project or a significant portion of it.
   3.  **Sub-directory Context Files (Contextual/Local):**
-      - Location: The CLI also scans for the configured context file in subdirectories _below_ the current working directory (respecting common ignore patterns like `node_modules`, `.git`, etc.). The breadth of this search is limited to 200 directories by default, but can be configured with a `memoryDiscoveryMaxDirs` field in your `settings.json` file.

+# Extension Releasing
+
+There are two primary ways of releasing extensions to users:
+
+- [Git repository](#releasing-through-a-git-repository)
+- [Github Releases](#releasing-through-github-releases)
+
+Git repository releases tend to be the simplest and most flexible approach, while GitHub releases can be more efficient on initial install as they are shipped as single archives instead of requiring a git clone which downloads each file individually. Github releases may also contain platform specific archives if you need to ship platform specific binary files.
+
+## Releasing through a git repository
+
+This is the most flexible and simple option. All you need to do us create a publicly accessible git repo (such as a public github repository) and then users can install your extension using `gemini extensions install <your-repo-uri>`, or for a GitHub repository they can use the simplified `gemini extensions install <org>/<repo>` format. They can optionally depend on a specific ref (branch/tag/commit) using the `--ref=<some-ref>` argument, this defaults to the default branch.
+
+Whenever commits are pushed to the ref that a user depends on, they will be prompted to update the extension. Note that this also allows for easy rollbacks, the HEAD commit is always treated as the latest version regardless of the actual version in the `gemini-extension.json` file.
+
+### Managing release channels using a git repository
+
+Users can depend on any ref from your git repo, such as a branch or tag, which allows you to manage multiple release channels.
+
+For instance, you can maintain a `stable` branch, which users can install this way `gemini extensions install <your-repo-uri> --ref=stable`. Or, you could make this the default by treating your default branch as your stable release branch, and doing development in a different branch (for instance called `dev`). You can maintain as many branches or tags as you like, providing maximum flexibility for you and your users.
+
+Note that these `ref` arguments can be tags, branches, or even specific commits, which allows users to depend on a specific version of your extension. It is up to you how you want to manage your tags and branches.
+
+### Example releasing flow using a git repo
+
+While there are many options for how you want to manage releases using a git flow, we recommend treating your default branch as your "stable" release branch. This means that the default behavior for `gemini extensions install <your-repo-uri>` is to be on the stable release branch.
+
+Lets say you want to maintain three standard release channels, `stable`, `preview`, and `dev`. You would do all your standard development in the `dev` branch. When you are ready to do a preview release, you merge that branch into your `preview` branch. When you are ready to promote your preview branch to stable, you merge `preview` into your stable branch (which might be your default branch or a different branch).
+
+You can also cherry pick changes from one branch into another using `git cherry-pick`, but do note that this will result in your branches having a slightly divergent history from each other, unless you force push changes to your branches on each release to restore the history to a clean slate (which may not be possible for the default branch depending on your repository settings). If you plan on doing cherry picks, you may want to avoid having your default branch be the stable branch to avoid force-pushing to the default branch which should generally be avoided.
+
+## Releasing through Github releases
+
+Gemini CLI extensions can be distributed through [GitHub Releases](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/about-releases). This provides a faster and more reliable initial installation experience for users, as it avoids the need to clone the repository.
+
+Each release includes at least one archive file, which contains the full contents of the repo at the tag that it was linked to. Releases may also include [pre-built archives](#custom-pre-built-archives) if your extension requires some build step or has platform specific binaries attached to it.
+
+When checking for updates, gemini will just look for the latest release on github (you must mark it as such when creating the release), unless the user installed a specific release by passing `--ref=<some-release-tag>`. We do not at this time support opting in to pre-release releases or semver.
+
+### Custom pre-built archives
+
+Custom archives must be attached directly to the github release as assets and must be fully self-contained. This means they should include the entire extension, see [archive structure](#archive-structure).
+
+If your extension is platform-independent, you can provide a single generic asset. In this case, there should be only one asset attached to the release.
+
+Custom archives may also be used if you want to develop your extension within a larger repository, you can build an archive which has a different layout from the repo itself (for instance it might just be an archive of a subdirectory containing the extension).
+
+#### Platform specific archives
+
+To ensure Gemini CLI can automatically find the correct release asset for each platform, you must follow this naming convention. The CLI will search for assets in the following order:
+
+1.  **Platform and Architecture-Specific:** `{platform}.{arch}.{name}.{extension}`
+2.  **Platform-Specific:** `{platform}.{name}.{extension}`
+3.  **Generic:** If only one asset is provided, it will be used as a generic fallback.
+
+- `{name}`: The name of your extension.
+- `{platform}`: The operating system. Supported values are:
+  - `darwin` (macOS)
+  - `linux`
+  - `win32` (Windows)
+- `{arch}`: The architecture. Supported values are:
+  - `x64`
+  - `arm64`
+- `{extension}`: The file extension of the archive (e.g., `.tar.gz` or `.zip`).
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- `darwin.arm64.my-tool.tar.gz` (specific to Apple Silicon Macs)
+- `darwin.my-tool.tar.gz` (for all Macs)
+- `linux.x64.my-tool.tar.gz`
+- `win32.my-tool.zip`
+
+#### Archive structure
+
+Archives must be fully contained extensions and have all the standard requirements - specifically the `gemini-extension.json` file must be at the root of the archive.
+
+The rest of the layout should look exactly the same as a typical extension, see [extensions.md](extension.md).
+
+#### Example GitHub Actions workflow
+
+Here is an example of a GitHub Actions workflow that builds and releases a Gemini CLI extension for multiple platforms:

 # Gemini CLI Extensions
 
-Gemini CLI supports extensions that can be used to configure and extend its functionality.
+_This documentation is up-to-date with the v0.4.0 release._
+
+Gemini CLI extensions package prompts, MCP servers, and custom commands into a familiar and user-friendly format. With extensions, you can expand the capabilities of Gemini CLI and share those capabilities with others. They are designed to be easily installable and shareable.
+
+## Extension management
+
+We offer a suite of extension management tools using `gemini extensions` commands.
+
+Note that these commands are not supported from within the CLI, although you can list installed extensions using the `/extensions list` subcommand.
+
+Note that all of these commands will only be reflected in active CLI sessions on restart.
+
+### Installing an extension
+
+You can install an extension using `gemini extensions install` with either a GitHub URL source or `--path=some/local/path`.
+
+Note that we create a copy of the installed extension, so you will need to run `gemini extensions update` to pull in changes from both locally-defined extensions and those on GitHub.
+
+```
+gemini extensions install https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/security
+```
+
+This will install the Gemini CLI Security extension, which offers support for a `/security:analyze` command.
+
+### Uninstalling an extension
+
+To uninstall, run `gemini extensions uninstall extension-name`, so, in the case of the install example:
+
+```
+gemini extensions uninstall gemini-cli-security
+```
+
+### Disabling an extension
+
+Extensions are, by default, enabled across all workspaces. You can disable an extension entirely or for specific workspace.
+
+For example, `gemini extensions disable extension-name` will disable the extension at the user level, so it will be disabled everywhere. `gemini extensions disable extension-name --scope=workspace` will only disable the extension in the current workspace.
+
+### Enabling an extension
+
+You can enable extensions using `gemini extensions enable extension-name`. You can also enable an extension for a specific workspace using `gemini extensions enable extension-name --scope=workspace` from within that workspace.
+
+This is useful if you have an extension disabled at the top-level and only enabled in specific places.
+
+### Updating an extension
+
+For extensions installed from a local path or a git repository, you can explicitly update to the latest version (as reflected in the `gemini-extension.json` `version` field) with `gemini extensions update extension-name`.
+
+You can update all extensions with:
+
+```
+gemini extensions update --all
+```
+
+## Extension creation
+
+We offer commands to make extension development easier.
+
+### Create a boilerplate extension
+
+We offer several example extensions `context`, `custom-commands`, `exclude-tools` and `mcp-server`. You can view these examples [here](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/tree/main/packages/cli/src/commands/extensions/examples).
+
+To copy one of these examples into a development directory using the type of your choosing, run:
+
+```
+gemini extensions new path/to/directory custom-commands
+```
+
+### Link a local extension
+
+The `gemini extensions link` command will create a symbolic link from the extension installation directory to the development path.
+
+This is useful so you don't have to run `gemini extensions update` every time you make changes you'd like to test.
+
+```
+gemini extensions link path/to/directory
+```
 
 ## How it works
 
-On startup, Gemini CLI looks for extensions in two locations:
+On startup, Gemini CLI looks for extensions in `<home>/.gemini/extensions`
 
-1.  `<workspace>/.gemini/extensions`
-2.  `<home>/.gemini/extensions`
+Extensions exist as a directory that contains a `gemini-extension.json` file. For example:
 
-Gemini CLI loads all extensions from both locations. If an extension with the same name exists in both locations, the extension in the workspace directory takes precedence.
-
-Within each location, individual extensions exist as a directory that contains a `gemini-extension.json` file. For example:
-
-`<workspace>/.gemini/extensions/my-extension/gemini-extension.json`
+`<home>/.gemini/extensions/my-extension/gemini-extension.json`

For example, `"excludeTools": ["run_shell_command(rm -rf)"]` will block the `rm -rf` command. Note that this differs from the MCP server `excludeTools` functionality, which can be listed in the MCP server config.
 
 When Gemini CLI starts, it loads all the extensions and merges their configurations. If there are any conflicts, the workspace configuration takes precedence.

+# Getting Started with Gemini CLI Extensions
+
+This guide will walk you through creating your first Gemini CLI extension. You'll learn how to set up a new extension, add a custom tool via an MCP server, create a custom command, and provide context to the model with a `GEMINI.md` file.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before you start, make sure you have the Gemini CLI installed and a basic understanding of Node.js and TypeScript.
+
+## Step 1: Create a New Extension
+
+The easiest way to start is by using one of the built-in templates. We'll use the `mcp-server` example as our foundation.
+
+Run the following command to create a new directory called `my-first-extension` with the template files:
+
+```bash
+gemini extensions new my-first-extension mcp-server
+```
+
+This will create a new directory with the following structure:
+
+```
+my-first-extension/
+├── example.ts
+├── gemini-extension.json
+├── package.json
+└── tsconfig.json
+```
+
+## Step 2: Understand the Extension Files
+
+Let's look at the key files in your new extension.
+
+### `gemini-extension.json`
+
+This is the manifest file for your extension. It tells Gemini CLI how to load and use your extension.
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "my-first-extension",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "nodeServer": {
+      "command": "node",
+      "args": ["${extensionPath}${/}dist${/}example.js"],
+      "cwd": "${extensionPath}"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- `name`: The unique name for your extension.
+- `version`: The version of your extension.
+- `mcpServers`: This section defines one or more Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. MCP servers are how you can add new tools for the model to use.
+  - `command`, `args`, `cwd`: These fields specify how to start your server. Notice the use of the `${extensionPath}` variable, which Gemini CLI replaces with the absolute path to your extension's installation directory. This allows your extension to work regardless of where it's installed.
+
+### `example.ts`
+
+This file contains the source code for your MCP server. It's a simple Node.js server that uses the `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`.
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * @license
+ * Copyright 2025 Google LLC
+ * SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0
+ */
+
+import { McpServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js';
+import { StdioServerTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js';
+import { z } from 'zod';
+
+const server = new McpServer({
+  name: 'prompt-server',
+  version: '1.0.0',
+});
+
+// Registers a new tool named 'fetch_posts'
+server.registerTool(
+  'fetch_posts',
+  {
+    description: 'Fetches a list of posts from a public API.',
+    inputSchema: z.object({}).shape,
+  },
+  async () => {
+    const apiResponse = await fetch(
+      'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts',
+    );
+    const posts = await apiResponse.json();
+    const response = { posts: posts.slice(0, 5) };
+    return {
+      content: [
+        {
+          type: 'text',
+          text: JSON.stringify(response),
+        },
+      ],
+    };
+  },
+);
+
+// ... (prompt registration omitted for brevity)
+
+const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
+await server.connect(transport);
+```
+
+This server defines a single tool called `fetch_posts` that fetches data from a public API.
+
+### `package.json` and `tsconfig.json`
+
+These are standard configuration files for a TypeScript project. The `package.json` file defines dependencies and a `build` script, and `tsconfig.json` configures the TypeScript compiler.
+
+## Step 3: Build and Link Your Extension
+
+Before you can use the extension, you need to compile the TypeScript code and link the extension to your Gemini CLI installation for local development.
+
+1.  **Install dependencies:**
+
+    ```bash
+    cd my-first-extension
+    npm install
+    ```
+
+2.  **Build the server:**
+
+    ```bash
+    npm run build
+    ```
+
+    This will compile `example.ts` into `dist/example.js`, which is the file referenced in your `gemini-extension.json`.
+
+3.  **Link the extension:**
+
+    The `link` command creates a symbolic link from the Gemini CLI extensions directory to your development directory. This means any changes you make will be reflected immediately without needing to reinstall.
+
+    ```bash
+    gemini extensions link .
+    ```
+
+Now, restart your Gemini CLI session. The new `fetch_posts` tool will be available. You can test it by asking: "fetch posts".
+
+## Step 4: Add a Custom Command
+
+Custom commands provide a way to create shortcuts for complex prompts. Let's add a command that searches for a pattern in your code.
+
+1.  Create a `commands` directory and a subdirectory for your command group:
+
+    ```bash
+    mkdir -p commands/fs
+    ```
+
+2.  Create a file named `commands/fs/grep-code.toml`:
+
+    ```toml
+    prompt = """
+    Please summarize the findings for the pattern `{{args}}`.
+
+    Search Results:
+    !{grep -r {{args}} .}
+    """
+    ```
+
+    This command, `/fs:grep-code`, will take an argument, run the `grep` shell command with it, and pipe the results into a prompt for summarization.
+
+After saving the file, restart the Gemini CLI. You can now run `/fs:grep-code "some pattern"` to use your new command.
+
+## Step 5: Add a Custom `GEMINI.md`
+
+You can provide persistent context to the model by adding a `GEMINI.md` file to your extension. This is useful for giving the model instructions on how to behave or information about your extension's tools. Note that you may not always need this for extensions built to expose commands and prompts.
+
+1.  Create a file named `GEMINI.md` in the root of your extension directory:
+
+    ```markdown
+    # My First Extension Instructions
+
+    You are an expert developer assistant. When the user asks you to fetch posts, use the `fetch_posts` tool. Be concise in your responses.
+    ```
+
+2.  Update your `gemini-extension.json` to tell the CLI to load this file:
+
+    ```json
+    {
+      "name": "my-first-extension",
+      "version": "1.0.0",
+      "contextFileName": "GEMINI.md",
+      "mcpServers": {
+        "nodeServer": {
+          "command": "node",
+          "args": ["${extensionPath}${/}dist${/}example.js"],
+          "cwd": "${extensionPath}"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+    ```
+
+Restart the CLI again. The model will now have the context from your `GEMINI.md` file in every session where the extension is active.
+
+## Step 6: Releasing Your Extension
+
+Once you are happy with your extension, you can share it with others. The two primary ways of releasing extensions are via a Git repository or through GitHub Releases. Using a public Git repository is the simplest method.
+
+For detailed instructions on both methods, please refer to the [Extension Releasing Guide](extension-releasing.md).
+
+## Conclusion
+
+You've successfully created a Gemini CLI extension! You learned how to:
+
+- Bootstrap a new extension from a template.
+- Add custom tools with an MCP server.
+- Create convenient custom commands.
+- Provide persistent context to the model.
+- Link your extension for local development.
+
+From here, you can explore more advanced features and build powerful new capabilities into the Gemini CLI.

+## Overview
+
+The headless mode provides a headless interface to Gemini CLI that:
+
+- Accepts prompts via command line arguments or stdin
+- Returns structured output (text or JSON)
+- Supports file redirection and piping
+- Enables automation and scripting workflows
+- Provides consistent exit codes for error handling
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Direct Prompts
+
+Use the `--prompt` (or `-p`) flag to run in headless mode:
+
+```bash
+gemini --prompt "What is machine learning?"
+```
+
+### Stdin Input
+
+Pipe input to Gemini CLI from your terminal:
+
+```bash
+echo "Explain this code" | gemini
+```
+
+### Combining with File Input
+
+Read from files and process with Gemini:
+
+```bash
+cat README.md | gemini --prompt "Summarize this documentation"
+```
+
+## Output Formats
+
+### Text Output (Default)
+
+Standard human-readable output:
+
+```bash
+gemini -p "What is the capital of France?"
+```
+
+Response format:
+
+```
+The capital of France is Paris.
+```
+
+### JSON Output
+
+Returns structured data including response, statistics, and metadata. This
+format is ideal for programmatic processing and automation scripts.
+
+#### Response Schema
+
+The JSON output follows this high-level structure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "response": "string", // The main AI-generated content answering your prompt
+  "stats": {
+    // Usage metrics and performance data
+    "models": {
+      // Per-model API and token usage statistics
+      "[model-name]": {
+        "api": {
+          /* request counts, errors, latency */
+        },
+        "tokens": {
+          /* prompt, response, cached, total counts */
+        }
+      }
+    },

+      },
+      "byName": {
+        /* per-tool detailed stats */
+      }
+    },
+    "files": {
+      // File modification statistics
+      "totalLinesAdded": "number",
+      "totalLinesRemoved": "number"
+    }
+  },
+  "error": {
+    // Present only when an error occurred
+    "type": "string", // Error type (e.g., "ApiError", "AuthError")
+    "message": "string", // Human-readable error description
+    "code": "number" // Optional error code
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Example Usage
+
+```bash
+gemini -p "What is the capital of France?" --output-format json
+```
+
+Response:
+
+```json

+# Gemini CLI Companion Plugin: Interface Specification
+
+> Last Updated: September 15, 2025
+
+This document defines the contract for building a companion plugin to enable Gemini CLI's IDE mode. For VS Code, these features (native diffing, context awareness) are provided by the official extension ([marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Google.gemini-cli-vscode-ide-companion)). This specification is for contributors who wish to bring similar functionality to other editors like JetBrains IDEs, Sublime Text, etc.
+
+## I. The Communication Interface
+
+Gemini CLI and the IDE plugin communicate through a local communication channel.
+
+### 1. Transport Layer: MCP over HTTP
+
+The plugin **MUST** run a local HTTP server that implements the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**.
+
+- **Protocol:** The server must be a valid MCP server. We recommend using an existing MCP SDK for your language of choice if available.
+- **Endpoint:** The server should expose a single endpoint (e.g., `/mcp`) for all MCP communication.
+- **Port:** The server **MUST** listen on a dynamically assigned port (i.e., listen on port `0`).
+
+### 2. Discovery Mechanism: The Port File
+
+For Gemini CLI to connect, it needs to discover which IDE instance it's running in and what port your server is using. The plugin **MUST** facilitate this by creating a "discovery file."
+
+- **How the CLI Finds the File:** The CLI determines the Process ID (PID) of the IDE it's running in by traversing the process tree. It then looks for a discovery file that contains this PID in its name.
+- **File Location:** The file must be created in a specific directory: `os.tmpdir()/gemini/ide/`. Your plugin must create this directory if it doesn't exist.
+- **File Naming Convention:** The filename is critical and **MUST** follow the pattern:
+  `gemini-ide-server-${PID}-${PORT}.json`
+  - `${PID}`: The process ID of the parent IDE process. Your plugin must determine this PID and include it in the filename.
+  - `${PORT}`: The port your MCP server is listening on.
+- **File Content & Workspace Validation:** The file **MUST** contain a JSON object with the following structure:
+
+  ```json
+  {
+    "port": 12345,
+    "workspacePath": "/path/to/project1:/path/to/project2",
+    "authToken": "a-very-secret-token",
+    "ideInfo": {
+      "name": "vscode",
+      "displayName": "VS Code"
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+  - `port` (number, required): The port of the MCP server.
+  - `workspacePath` (string, required): A list of all open workspace root paths, delimited by the OS-specific path separator (`:` for Linux/macOS, `;` for Windows). The CLI uses this path to ensure it's running in the same project folder that's open in the IDE. If the CLI's current working directory is not a sub-directory of `workspacePath`, the connection will be rejected. Your plugin **MUST** provide the correct, absolute path(s) to the root of the open workspace(s).
+  - `authToken` (string, required): A secret token for securing the connection. The CLI will include this token in an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header on all requests.
+  - `ideInfo` (object, required): Information about the IDE.
+    - `name` (string, required): A short, lowercase identifier for the IDE (e.g., `vscode`, `jetbrains`).
+    - `displayName` (string, required): A user-friendly name for the IDE (e.g., `VS Code`, `JetBrains IDE`).
+
+- **Authentication:** To secure the connection, the plugin **MUST** generate a unique, secret token and include it in the discovery file. The CLI will then include this token in the `Authorization` header for all requests to the MCP server (e.g., `Authorization: Bearer a-very-secret-token`). Your server **MUST** validate this token on every request and reject any that are unauthorized.
+- **Tie-Breaking with Environment Variables (Recommended):** For the most reliable experience, your plugin **SHOULD** both create the discovery file and set the `GEMINI_CLI_IDE_SERVER_PORT` environment variable in the integrated terminal. The file serves as the primary discovery mechanism, but the environment variable is crucial for tie-breaking. If a user has multiple IDE windows open for the same workspace, the CLI uses the `GEMINI_CLI_IDE_SERVER_PORT` variable to identify and connect to the correct window's server.
+
+## II. The Context Interface
+
+To enable context awareness, the plugin **MAY** provide the CLI with real-time information about the user's activity in the IDE.
+
+### `ide/contextUpdate` Notification
+
+The plugin **MAY** send an `ide/contextUpdate` [notification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/basic/index#notifications) to the CLI whenever the user's context changes.
+
+- **Triggering Events:** This notification should be sent (with a recommended debounce of 50ms) when:
+  - A file is opened, closed, or focused.
+  - The user's cursor position or text selection changes in the active file.
+- **Payload (`IdeContext`):** The notification parameters **MUST** be an `IdeContext` object:
+
+  ```typescript
+  interface IdeContext {
+    workspaceState?: {
+      openFiles?: File[];
+      isTrusted?: boolean;
+    };
+  }
+
+  interface File {
+    // Absolute path to the file
+    path: string;
+    // Last focused Unix timestamp (for ordering)
+    timestamp: number;
+    // True if this is the currently focused file
+    isActive?: boolean;
+    cursor?: {
+      // 1-based line number
+      line: number;
+      // 1-based character number
+      character: number;
+    };
+    // The text currently selected by the user
+    selectedText?: string;
+  }
+  ```
+
+  **Note:** The `openFiles` list should only include files that exist on disk. Virtual files (e.g., unsaved files without a path, editor settings pages) **MUST** be excluded.
+
+### How the CLI Uses This Context
+
+After receiving the `IdeContext` object, the CLI performs several normalization and truncation steps before sending the information to the model.
+
+- **File Ordering:** The CLI uses the `timestamp` field to determine the most recently used files. It sorts the `openFiles` list based on this value. Therefore, your plugin **MUST** provide an accurate Unix timestamp for when a file was last focused.
+- **Active File:** The CLI considers only the most recent file (after sorting) to be the "active" file. It will ignore the `isActive` flag on all other files and clear their `cursor` and `selectedText` fields. Your plugin should focus on setting `isActive: true` and providing cursor/selection details only for the currently focused file.
+- **Truncation:** To manage token limits, the CLI truncates both the file list (to 10 files) and the `selectedText` (to 16KB).
+
+While the CLI handles the final truncation, it is highly recommended that your plugin also limits the amount of context it sends.
+
+## III. The Diffing Interface
+
+To enable interactive code modifications, the plugin **MAY** expose a diffing interface. This allows the CLI to request that the IDE open a diff view, showing proposed changes to a file. The user can then review, edit, and ultimately accept or reject these changes directly within the IDE.
+
+### `openDiff` Tool
+
+The plugin **MUST** register an `openDiff` tool on its MCP server.
+
+- **Description:** This tool instructs the IDE to open a modifiable diff view for a specific file.
+- **Request (`OpenDiffRequest`):** The tool is invoked via a `tools/call` request. The `arguments` field within the request's `params` **MUST** be an `OpenDiffRequest` object.
+
+  ```typescript
+  interface OpenDiffRequest {
+    // The absolute path to the file to be diffed.
+    filePath: string;
+    // The proposed new content for the file.
+    newContent: string;
+  }
+  ```
+
+- **Response (`CallToolResult`):** The tool **MUST** immediately return a `CallToolResult` to acknowledge the request and report whether the diff view was successfully opened.
+  - On Success: If the diff view was opened successfully, the response **MUST** contain empty content (i.e., `content: []`).
+  - On Failure: If an error prevented the diff view from opening, the response **MUST** have `isError: true` and include a `TextContent` block in the `content` array describing the error.
+
+  The actual outcome of the diff (acceptance or rejection) is communicated asynchronously via notifications.
+
+### `closeDiff` Tool
+
+The plugin **MUST** register a `closeDiff` tool on its MCP server.
+
+- **Description:** This tool instructs the IDE to close an open diff view for a specific file.
+- **Request (`CloseDiffRequest`):** The tool is invoked via a `tools/call` request. The `arguments` field within the request's `params` **MUST** be an `CloseDiffRequest` object.
+
+  ```typescript
+  interface CloseDiffRequest {
+    // The absolute path to the file whose diff view should be closed.
+    filePath: string;
+  }
+  ```
+
+- **Response (`CallToolResult`):** The tool **MUST** return a `CallToolResult`.
+  - On Success: If the diff view was closed successfully, the response **MUST** include a single **TextContent** block in the content array containing the file's final content before closing.
+  - On Failure: If an error prevented the diff view from closing, the response **MUST** have `isError: true` and include a `TextContent` block in the `content` array describing the error.
+
+### `ide/diffAccepted` Notification
+
+When the user accepts the changes in a diff view (e.g., by clicking an "Apply" or "Save" button), the plugin **MUST** send an `ide/diffAccepted` notification to the CLI.
+
+- **Payload:** The notification parameters **MUST** include the file path and the final content of the file. The content may differ from the original `newContent` if the user made manual edits in the diff view.
+
+  ```typescript
+  {
+    // The absolute path to the file that was diffed.
+    filePath: string;
+    // The full content of the file after acceptance.
+    content: string;
+  }
+  ```
+
+### `ide/diffRejected` Notification
+
+When the user rejects the changes (e.g., by closing the diff view without accepting), the plugin **MUST** send an `ide/diffRejected` notification to the CLI.
+
+- **Payload:** The notification parameters **MUST** include the file path of the rejected diff.
+
+  ```typescript
+  {
+    // The absolute path to the file that was diffed.
+    filePath: string;
+  }
+  ```
+
+## IV. The Lifecycle Interface
+
+The plugin **MUST** manage its resources and the discovery file correctly based on the IDE's lifecycle.
+
+- **On Activation (IDE startup/plugin enabled):**
+  1.  Start the MCP server.
+  2.  Create the discovery file.
+- **On Deactivation (IDE shutdown/plugin disabled):**
+  1.  Stop the MCP server.
+  2.  Delete the discovery file.

+### Source of Truth for Versioning
 
-## Create Preview Release
+To ensure the highest reliability, the release promotion process uses the **NPM registry as the single source of truth** for determining the current version of each release channel (`stable`, `preview`, and `nightly`).
 
-Each Tuesday at UTC 2359 we will auto deploy a preview release of the next production release x.y.z.
+1.  **Fetch from NPM:** The workflow begins by querying NPM's `dist-tags` (`latest`, `preview`, `nightly`) to get the exact version strings for the packages currently available to users.
+2.  **Cross-Check for Integrity:** For each version retrieved from NPM, the workflow performs a critical integrity check:
+    - It verifies that a corresponding **git tag** exists in the repository.
+    - It verifies that a corresponding **GitHub Release** has been created.
+3.  **Halt on Discrepancy:** If either the git tag or the GitHub Release is missing for a version listed on NPM, the workflow will immediately fail. This strict check prevents promotions from a broken or incomplete previous release and alerts the on-call engineer to a release state inconsistency that must be manually resolved.
+4.  **Calculate Next Version:** Only after these checks pass does the workflow proceed to calculate the next semantic version based on the trusted version numbers retrieved from NPM.
 
-- This will happen as a scheduled instance of the ‘release’ action. It will be cut off of Main.
-- This will create a branch `release/vx.y.z-preview.n`
-- We will run evals and smoke testing against this branch and the npm package. For now this should be manual smoke testing, we don't have a dedicated matrix or specific detailed process. There is work coming soon to make this more formalized and automatic see https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/3788
-- Users installing `@preview` will get this release as well
+This NPM-first approach, backed by integrity checks, makes the release process highly robust and prevents the kinds of versioning discrepancies that can arise from relying solely on git history or API outputs.
 
-## Promote Stable Release
+## Manual Releases
 
-After one week (On the following Tuesday) with all signals a go, we will manually release at 2000 UTC via the current on-call person.
+For situations requiring a release outside of the regular nightly and weekly promotion schedule, and NOT already covered by patching process, you can use the `Release: Manual` workflow. This workflow provides a direct way to publish a specific version from any branch, tag, or commit SHA.
 
-- The release action will be used with the source branch as `release/vx.y.z-preview.n`
-- The version will be x.y.z
-- The releaser will create and merge a pr into main with the version changes.
-- Smoke tests and manual validation will be run. For now this should be manual smoke testing, we don't have a dedicated matrix or specific detailed process. There is work coming soon to make this more formalized and automatic see https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/3788

-## Patching Releases
-
-If a critical bug needs to be fixed before the next scheduled release, follow this process to create a patch.
-
-### 1. Create a Hotfix Branch
-
-First, create a new branch for your fix. The source for this branch depends on whether you are patching a stable or a preview release.
-
-- **For a stable release patch:**
-  Create a branch from the Git tag of the version you need to patch. Tag names are formatted as `vx.y.z`.
-
-  ```bash
-  # Example: Create a hotfix branch for v0.2.0
-  git checkout v0.2.0 -b hotfix/issue-123-fix-for-v0.2.0
-  ```
-
-- **For a preview release patch:**
-  Create a branch from the existing preview release branch, which is formatted as `release/vx.y.z-preview.n`.
-
-  ```bash
-  # Example: Create a hotfix branch for a preview release
-  git checkout release/v0.2.0-preview.0 && git checkout -b hotfix/issue-456-fix-for-preview
-  ```
-
-### 2. Implement the Fix
-
-In your new hotfix branch, either create a new commit with the fix or cherry-pick an existing commit from the `main` branch. Merge your changes into the source of the hotfix branch (ex. https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/pull/6850).
-
-### 3. Perform the Release
-
-Follow the manual release process using the "Release" GitHub Actions workflow.
-
-- **Version**: For stable patches, increment the patch version (e.g., `v0.2.0` -> `v0.2.1`). For preview patches, increment the preview number (e.g., `v0.2.0-preview.0` -> `v0.2.0-preview.1`).
-- **Ref**: Use your source branch as the reference (ex. `release/v0.2.0-preview.0`)
-
-![How to run a release](assets/release_patch.png)
-
-### 4. Update Versions
-
-After the hotfix is released, merge the changes back to the appropriate branch.
-
-- **For a stable release hotfix:**
-  Open a pull request to merge the release branch (e.g., `release/0.2.1`) back into `main`. This keeps the version number in `main` up to date.
-
-- **For a preview release hotfix:**
-  Open a pull request to merge the new preview release branch (e.g., `release/v0.2.0-preview.1`) back into the existing preview release branch (`release/v0.2.0-preview.0`) (ex. https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/pull/6868)

-## How To Release
-
-Releases are managed through the [release.yml](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/actions/workflows/release.yml) GitHub Actions workflow. To perform a manual release for a patch or hotfix:
+### How to Create a Manual Release
 
 1.  Navigate to the **Actions** tab of the repository.
-2.  Select the **Release** workflow from the list.
+2.  Select the **Release: Manual** workflow from the list.
 3.  Click the **Run workflow** dropdown button.
 4.  Fill in the required inputs:
-    - **Version**: The exact version to release (e.g., `v0.2.1`).
-    - **Ref**: The branch or commit SHA to release from (defaults to `main`).
-    - **Dry Run**: Leave as `true` to test the workflow without publishing, or set to `false` to perform a live release.
+    - **Version**: The exact version to release (e.g., `v0.6.1`). This must be a valid semantic version with a `v` prefix.
+    - **Ref**: The branch, tag, or full commit SHA to release from.
+    - **NPM Channel**: The npm channel to publish to. The options are `preview`, `nightly`, `latest` (for stable releases), and `dev`. The default is `dev`.
+    - **Dry Run**: Leave as `true` to run all steps without publishing, or set to `false` to perform a live release.
+    - **Force Skip Tests**: Set to `true` to skip the test suite. This is not recommended for production releases.
+    - **Skip GitHub Release**: Set to `true` to skip creating a GitHub release and create an npm release only.
 5.  Click **Run workflow**.
 
-### TLDR
+The workflow will then proceed to test (if not skipped), build, and publish the release. If the workflow fails during a non-dry run, it will automatically create a GitHub issue with the failure details.
 
-Each release, wether automated or manual performs the following steps:
+## Rollback/Rollforward
 
-1.  Checks out the latest code from the `main` branch.
-1.  Installs all dependencies.
-1.  Runs the full suite of `preflight` checks and integration tests.
-1.  If all tests succeed, it calculates the next version number based on the inputs.
-1.  It creates a branch name `release/${VERSION}`.
-1.  It creates a tag name `v${VERSION}`.
-1.  It then builds and publishes the packages to npm with the provided version number.
-1.  Finally, it creates a GitHub Release for the version.
+In the event that a release has a critical regression, you can quickly roll back to a previous stable version or roll forward to a new patch by changing the npm `dist-tag`. The `Release: Change Tags` workflow provides a safe and controlled way to do this.
 
-### Failure Handling
+This is the preferred method for both rollbacks and rollforwards, as it does not require a full release cycle.
 
-If any step in the workflow fails, it will automatically create a new issue in the repository with the labels `bug` and `release-failure`. The issue will contain a link to the failed workflow run for easy debugging.
+### How to Change a Release Tag
+
+1.  Navigate to the **Actions** tab of the repository.
+2.  Select the **Release: Change Tags** workflow from the list.
+3.  Click the **Run workflow** dropdown button.
+4.  Fill in the required inputs:
+    - **Version**: The existing package version that you want to point the tag to (e.g., `0.5.0-preview-2`). This version **must** already be published to the npm registry.
+    - **Channel**: The npm `dist-tag` to apply (e.g., `preview`, `stable`).
+    - **Dry Run**: Leave as `true` to log the action without making changes, or set to `false` to perform the live tag change.
+5.  Click **Run workflow**.
+
+The workflow will then run `npm dist-tag add` for both the `@google/gemini-cli` and `@google/gemini-cli-core` packages, pointing the specified channel to the specified version.
+
+## Patching
+
+If a critical bug that is already fixed on `main` needs to be patched on a `stable` or `preview` release, the process is now highly automated.
+
+### How to Patch
+
+#### 1. Create the Patch Pull Request
+
+There are two ways to create a patch pull request:
+
+**Option A: From a GitHub Comment (Recommended)**
+
+After a pull request containing the fix has been merged, a maintainer can add a comment on that same PR with the following format:
+
+`/patch [channel]`
+
+- **channel** (optional):
+  - _no channel_ - patches both stable and preview channels (default, recommended for most fixes)
+  - `both` - patches both stable and preview channels (same as default)
+  - `stable` - patches only the stable channel
+  - `preview` - patches only the preview channel
+
+Examples:
+
+- `/patch` (patches both stable and preview - default)
+- `/patch both` (patches both stable and preview - explicit)
+- `/patch stable` (patches only stable)
+- `/patch preview` (patches only preview)
+
+The `Release: Patch from Comment` workflow will automatically find the merge commit SHA and trigger the `Release: Patch (1) Create PR` workflow. If the PR is not yet merged, it will post a comment indicating the failure.
+
+**Option B: Manually Triggering the Workflow**
+
+Navigate to the **Actions** tab and run the **Release: Patch (1) Create PR** workflow.
+
+- **Commit**: The full SHA of the commit on `main` that you want to cherry-pick.
+- **Channel**: The channel you want to patch (`stable` or `preview`).
+
+This workflow will automatically:
+
+1.  Find the latest release tag for the channel.
+2.  Create a release branch from that tag if one doesn't exist (e.g., `release/v0.5.1`).
+3.  Create a new hotfix branch from the release branch.
+4.  Cherry-pick your specified commit into the hotfix branch.
+5.  Create a pull request from the hotfix branch back to the release branch.
+
+#### 2. Review and Merge
+
+Review the automatically created pull request(s) to ensure the cherry-pick was successful and the changes are correct. Once approved, merge the pull request.
+
+**Security Note:** The `release/*` branches are protected by branch protection rules. A pull request to one of these branches requires at least one review from a code owner before it can be merged. This ensures that no unauthorized code is released.
+
+#### 2.5. Adding Multiple Commits to a Hotfix (Advanced)
+
+If you need to include multiple fixes in a single patch release, you can add additional commits to the hotfix branch after the initial patch PR has been created:
+
+1. **Start with the primary fix**: Use `/patch` (or `/patch both`) on the most important PR to create the initial hotfix branch and PR.
+
+2. **Checkout the hotfix branch locally**:
+
+   ```bash
+   git fetch origin
+   git checkout hotfix/v0.5.1/stable/cherry-pick-abc1234  # Use the actual branch name from the PR
+   ```
+
+3. **Cherry-pick additional commits**:
+
+   ```bash
+   git cherry-pick <commit-sha-1>
+   git cherry-pick <commit-sha-2>
+   # Add as many commits as needed
+   ```
+
+4. **Push the updated branch**:
+
+   ```bash
+   git push origin hotfix/v0.5.1/stable/cherry-pick-abc1234
+   ```
+
+5. **Test and review**: The existing patch PR will automatically update with your additional commits. Test thoroughly since you're now releasing multiple changes together.
+
+6. **Update the PR description**: Consider updating the PR title and description to reflect that it includes multiple fixes.
+
+This approach allows you to group related fixes into a single patch release while maintaining full control over what gets included and how conflicts are resolved.
+
+#### 3. Automatic Release
+
+Upon merging the pull request, the `Release: Patch (2) Trigger` workflow is automatically triggered. It will then start the `Release: Patch (3) Release` workflow, which will:
+
+1.  Build and test the patched code.
+2.  Publish the new patch version to npm.
+3.  Create a new GitHub release with the patch notes.
+
+This fully automated process ensures that patches are created and released consistently and reliably.
+
+#### Troubleshooting: Older Branch Workflows
+
+**Issue**: If the patch trigger workflow fails with errors like "Resource not accessible by integration" or references to non-existent workflow files (e.g., `patch-release.yml`), this indicates the hotfix branch contains an outdated version of the workflow files.
+
+**Root Cause**: When a PR is merged, GitHub Actions runs the workflow definition from the **source branch** (the hotfix branch), not from the target branch (the release branch). If the hotfix branch was created from an older release branch that predates workflow improvements, it will use the old workflow logic.
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+**Option 1: Manual Trigger (Quick Fix)**
+Manually trigger the updated workflow from the branch with the latest workflow code:
+
+```bash
+# For a preview channel patch with tests skipped
+gh workflow run release-patch-2-trigger.yml --ref <branch-with-updated-workflow> \
+  --field ref="hotfix/v0.6.0-preview.2/preview/cherry-pick-abc1234" \
+  --field workflow_ref=<branch-with-updated-workflow> \
+  --field dry_run=false \
+  --field force_skip_tests=true
+
+# For a stable channel patch
+gh workflow run release-patch-2-trigger.yml --ref <branch-with-updated-workflow> \
+  --field ref="hotfix/v0.5.1/stable/cherry-pick-abc1234" \
+  --field workflow_ref=<branch-with-updated-workflow> \
+  --field dry_run=false \
+  --field force_skip_tests=false
+
+# Example using main branch (most common case)
+gh workflow run release-patch-2-trigger.yml --ref main \
+  --field ref="hotfix/v0.6.0-preview.2/preview/cherry-pick-abc1234" \
+  --field workflow_ref=main \
+  --field dry_run=false \
+  --field force_skip_tests=true
+```
+
+**Note**: Replace `<branch-with-updated-workflow>` with the branch containing the latest workflow improvements (usually `main`, but could be a feature branch if testing updates).
+
+**Option 2: Update the Hotfix Branch**
+Merge the latest main branch into your hotfix branch to get the updated workflows:
+
+```bash
+git checkout hotfix/v0.6.0-preview.2/preview/cherry-pick-abc1234
+git merge main
+git push
+```
+
+Then close and reopen the PR to retrigger the workflow with the updated version.
+
+**Option 3: Direct Release Trigger**
+Skip the trigger workflow entirely and directly run the release workflow:
+
+```bash
+# Replace channel and release_ref with appropriate values
+gh workflow run release-patch-3-release.yml --ref main \
+  --field type="preview" \
+  --field dry_run=false \
+  --field force_skip_tests=true \
+  --field release_ref="release/v0.6.0-preview.2"
+```

 ## Release Deep Dive
 
-The main goal of the release process is to take the source code from the packages/ directory, build it, and assemble a
-clean, self-contained package in a temporary `bundle` directory at the root of the project. This `bundle` directory is what
-actually gets published to NPM.
+The release process creates two distinct types of artifacts for different distribution channels: standard packages for the NPM registry and a single, self-contained executable for GitHub Releases.
 
 Here are the key stages:
 
-Stage 1: Pre-Release Sanity Checks and Versioning
+**Stage 1: Pre-Release Sanity Checks and Versioning**
 
-- What happens: Before any files are moved, the process ensures the project is in a good state. This involves running tests,
-  linting, and type-checking (npm run preflight). The version number in the root package.json and packages/cli/package.json
-  is updated to the new release version.
-- Why: This guarantees that only high-quality, working code is released. Versioning is the first step to signify a new
-  release.
+- **What happens:** Before any files are moved, the process ensures the project is in a good state. This involves running tests, linting, and type-checking (`npm run preflight`). The version number in the root `package.json` and `packages/cli/package.json` is updated to the new release version.
 
-Stage 2: Building the Source Code
+**Stage 2: Building the Source Code for NPM**
 
-- What happens: The TypeScript source code in packages/core/src and packages/cli/src is compiled into JavaScript.
-- File movement:
-  - packages/core/src/\*_/_.ts -> compiled to -> packages/core/dist/
-  - packages/cli/src/\*_/_.ts -> compiled to -> packages/cli/dist/
-- Why: The TypeScript code written during development needs to be converted into plain JavaScript that can be run by
-  Node.js. The core package is built first as the cli package depends on it.
+- **What happens:** The TypeScript source code in `packages/core/src` and `packages/cli/src` is compiled into standard JavaScript.
+- **File movement:**
+  - `packages/core/src/**/*.ts` -> compiled to -> `packages/core/dist/`
+  - `packages/cli/src/**/*.ts` -> compiled to -> `packages/cli/dist/`
+- **Why:** The TypeScript code written during development needs to be converted into plain JavaScript that can be run by Node.js. The `core` package is built first as the `cli` package depends on it.
 
-Stage 3: Assembling the Final Publishable Package
+**Stage 3: Publishing Standard Packages to NPM**
 
-This is the most critical stage where files are moved and transformed into their final state for publishing. A temporary
-`bundle` folder is created at the project root to house the final package contents.
+- **What happens:** The `npm publish` command is run for the `@google/gemini-cli-core` and `@google/gemini-cli` packages.
+- **Why:** This publishes them as standard Node.js packages. Users installing via `npm install -g @google/gemini-cli` will download these packages, and `npm` will handle installing the `@google/gemini-cli-core` dependency automatically. The code in these packages is not bundled into a single file.
 
-1.  The `package.json` is Transformed:
-    - What happens: The package.json from packages/cli/ is read, modified, and written into the root `bundle`/ directory.
-    - File movement: packages/cli/package.json -> (in-memory transformation) -> `bundle`/package.json
-    - Why: The final package.json must be different from the one used in development. Key changes include:
-      - Removing devDependencies.
-      - Removing workspace-specific "dependencies": { "@gemini-cli/core": "workspace:\*" } and ensuring the core code is
-        bundled directly into the final JavaScript file.
-      - Ensuring the bin, main, and files fields point to the correct locations within the final package structure.
+**Stage 4: Assembling and Creating the GitHub Release Asset**
 
-2.  The JavaScript Bundle is Created:
-    - What happens: The built JavaScript from both packages/core/dist and packages/cli/dist are bundled into a single,
-      executable JavaScript file.
-    - File movement: packages/cli/dist/index.js + packages/core/dist/index.js -> (bundled by esbuild) -> `bundle`/gemini.js (or a
-      similar name).
-    - Why: This creates a single, optimized file that contains all the necessary application code. It simplifies the package
-      by removing the need for the core package to be a separate dependency on NPM, as its code is now included directly.
+This stage happens _after_ the NPM publish and creates the single-file executable that enables `npx` usage directly from the GitHub repository.
 
-3.  Static and Supporting Files are Copied:
-    - What happens: Essential files that are not part of the source code but are required for the package to work correctly
-      or be well-described are copied into the `bundle` directory.
-    - File movement:
-      - README.md -> `bundle`/README.md
-      - LICENSE -> `bundle`/LICENSE
-      - packages/cli/src/utils/\*.sb (sandbox profiles) -> `bundle`/
-    - Why:
-      - The README.md and LICENSE are standard files that should be included in any NPM package.
-      - The sandbox profiles (.sb files) are critical runtime assets required for the CLI's sandboxing feature to
-        function. They must be located next to the final executable.
+1.  **The JavaScript Bundle is Created:**
+    - **What happens:** The built JavaScript from both `packages/core/dist` and `packages/cli/dist`, along with all third-party JavaScript dependencies, are bundled by `esbuild` into a single, executable JavaScript file (e.g., `gemini.js`). The `node-pty` library is excluded from this bundle as it contains native binaries.
+    - **Why:** This creates a single, optimized file that contains all the necessary application code. It simplifies execution for users who want to run the CLI without a full `npm install`, as all dependencies (including the `core` package) are included directly.
 
-Stage 4: Publishing to NPM
+2.  **The `bundle` Directory is Assembled:**
+    - **What happens:** A temporary `bundle` folder is created at the project root. The single `gemini.js` executable is placed inside it, along with other essential files.
+    - **File movement:**
+      - `gemini.js` (from esbuild) -> `bundle/gemini.js`
+      - `README.md` -> `bundle/README.md`
+      - `LICENSE` -> `bundle/LICENSE`
+      - `packages/cli/src/utils/*.sb` (sandbox profiles) -> `bundle/`
+    - **Why:** This creates a clean, self-contained directory with everything needed to run the CLI and understand its license and usage.
 
-- What happens: The npm publish command is run from inside the root `bundle` directory.
-- Why: By running npm publish from within the `bundle` directory, only the files we carefully assembled in Stage 3 are uploaded
-  to the NPM registry. This prevents any source code, test files, or development configurations from being accidentally
-  published, resulting in a clean and minimal package for users.
+3.  **The GitHub Release is Created:**
+    - **What happens:** The contents of the `bundle` directory, including the `gemini.js` executable, are attached as assets to a new GitHub Release.
+    - **Why:** This makes the single-file version of the CLI available for direct download and enables the `npx https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli` command, which downloads and runs this specific bundled asset.

-## Enabling telemetry
+## Configuration
 
-You can enable telemetry in multiple ways. Configuration is primarily managed via the [`.gemini/settings.json` file](./cli/configuration.md) and environment variables, but CLI flags can override these settings for a specific session.
+All telemetry behavior is controlled through your `.gemini/settings.json` file.
+These settings can be overridden by environment variables or CLI flags.
 
-### Order of precedence
+| Setting        | Environment Variable             | CLI Flag                                                 | Description                                       | Values            | Default                 |
+| -------------- | -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | ----------------------- |
+| `enabled`      | `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_ENABLED`       | `--telemetry` / `--no-telemetry`                         | Enable or disable telemetry                       | `true`/`false`    | `false`                 |
+| `target`       | `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_TARGET`        | `--telemetry-target <local\|gcp>`                        | Where to send telemetry data                      | `"gcp"`/`"local"` | `"local"`               |
+| `otlpEndpoint` | `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_OTLP_ENDPOINT` | `--telemetry-otlp-endpoint <URL>`                        | OTLP collector endpoint                           | URL string        | `http://localhost:4317` |
+| `otlpProtocol` | `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_OTLP_PROTOCOL` | `--telemetry-otlp-protocol <grpc\|http>`                 | OTLP transport protocol                           | `"grpc"`/`"http"` | `"grpc"`                |
+| `outfile`      | `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_OUTFILE`       | `--telemetry-outfile <path>`                             | Save telemetry to file (overrides `otlpEndpoint`) | file path         | -                       |
+| `logPrompts`   | `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_LOG_PROMPTS`   | `--telemetry-log-prompts` / `--no-telemetry-log-prompts` | Include prompts in telemetry logs                 | `true`/`false`    | `true`                  |
+| `useCollector` | `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_USE_COLLECTOR` | -                                                        | Use external OTLP collector (advanced)            | `true`/`false`    | `false`                 |
 
-The following lists the precedence for applying telemetry settings, with items listed higher having greater precedence:
+**Note on boolean environment variables:** For the boolean settings (`enabled`,
+`logPrompts`, `useCollector`), setting the corresponding environment variable to
+`true` or `1` will enable the feature. Any other value will disable it.
 
-1.  **CLI flags (for `gemini` command):**
-    - `--telemetry` / `--no-telemetry`: Overrides `telemetry.enabled`.
-    - `--telemetry-target <local|gcp>`: Overrides `telemetry.target`.
-    - `--telemetry-otlp-endpoint <URL>`: Overrides `telemetry.otlpEndpoint`.
-    - `--telemetry-log-prompts` / `--no-telemetry-log-prompts`: Overrides `telemetry.logPrompts`.
-    - `--telemetry-outfile <path>`: Redirects telemetry output to a file. See [Exporting to a file](#exporting-to-a-file).
+For detailed information about all configuration options, see the
+[Configuration Guide](./cli/configuration.md).
 
-1.  **Environment variables:**
-    - `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`: Overrides `telemetry.otlpEndpoint`.
+## Google Cloud Telemetry
 
-1.  **Workspace settings file (`.gemini/settings.json`):** Values from the `telemetry` object in this project-specific file.
+### Prerequisites
 
-1.  **User settings file (`~/.gemini/settings.json`):** Values from the `telemetry` object in this global user file.
+Before using either method below, complete these steps:
 
-1.  **Defaults:** applied if not set by any of the above.
-    - `telemetry.enabled`: `false`
-    - `telemetry.target`: `local`
-    - `telemetry.otlpEndpoint`: `http://localhost:4317`
-    - `telemetry.logPrompts`: `true`
+1. Set your Google Cloud project ID:
+   - For telemetry in a separate project from inference:
+     ```bash
+     export OTLP_GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-telemetry-project-id"
+     ```
+   - For telemetry in the same project as inference:
+     ```bash
+     export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"
+     ```
 
-**For the `npm run telemetry -- --target=<gcp|local>` script:**
-The `--target` argument to this script _only_ overrides the `telemetry.target` for the duration and purpose of that script (i.e., choosing which collector to start). It does not permanently change your `settings.json`. The script will first look at `settings.json` for a `telemetry.target` to use as its default.
+2. Authenticate with Google Cloud:
+   - If using a user account:
+     ```bash
+     gcloud auth application-default login
+     ```
+   - If using a service account:
+     ```bash
+     export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/your/service-account.json"
+     ```
+3. Make sure your account or service account has these IAM roles:
+   - Cloud Trace Agent
+   - Monitoring Metric Writer
+   - Logs Writer
 
-### Example settings
+4. Enable the required Google Cloud APIs (if not already enabled):
+   ```bash
+   gcloud services enable \
+     cloudtrace.googleapis.com \
+     monitoring.googleapis.com \
+     logging.googleapis.com \
+     --project="$OTLP_GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT"
+   ```
 
-The following code can be added to your workspace (`.gemini/settings.json`) or user (`~/.gemini/settings.json`) settings to enable telemetry and send the output to Google Cloud:
+### Direct Export (Recommended)
 
-```json
-{
-  "telemetry": {
-    "enabled": true,
-    "target": "gcp"
-  },
-  "sandbox": false
-}
-```
+Sends telemetry directly to Google Cloud services. No collector needed.
 
-### Exporting to a file
+1. Enable telemetry in your `.gemini/settings.json`:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "telemetry": {
+       "enabled": true,
+       "target": "gcp"
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+2. Run Gemini CLI and send prompts.
+3. View logs and metrics:
+   - Open the Google Cloud Console in your browser after sending prompts:
+     - Logs: https://console.cloud.google.com/logs/
+     - Metrics: https://console.cloud.google.com/monitoring/metrics-explorer
+     - Traces: https://console.cloud.google.com/traces/list
 
-You can export all telemetry data to a file for local inspection.
+### Collector-Based Export (Advanced)
 
-To enable file export, use the `--telemetry-outfile` flag with a path to your desired output file. This must be run using `--telemetry-target=local`.
+For custom processing, filtering, or routing, use an OpenTelemetry collector to
+forward data to Google Cloud.
 
-```bash
-# Set your desired output file path
-TELEMETRY_FILE=".gemini/telemetry.log"
+1. Configure your `.gemini/settings.json`:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "telemetry": {
+       "enabled": true,
+       "target": "gcp",
+       "useCollector": true
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+2. Run the automation script:
+   ```bash
+   npm run telemetry -- --target=gcp
+   ```
+   This will:
+   - Start a local OTEL collector that forwards to Google Cloud
+   - Configure your workspace
+   - Provide links to view traces, metrics, and logs in Google Cloud Console
+   - Save collector logs to `~/.gemini/tmp/<projectHash>/otel/collector-gcp.log`
+   - Stop collector on exit (e.g. `Ctrl+C`)
+3. Run Gemini CLI and send prompts.
+4. View logs and metrics:
+   - Open the Google Cloud Console in your browser after sending prompts:
+     - Logs: https://console.cloud.google.com/logs/
+     - Metrics: https://console.cloud.google.com/monitoring/metrics-explorer
+     - Traces: https://console.cloud.google.com/traces/list
+   - Open `~/.gemini/tmp/<projectHash>/otel/collector-gcp.log` to view local
+     collector logs.
 
-# Run Gemini CLI with local telemetry
-# NOTE: --telemetry-otlp-endpoint="" is required to override the default
-# OTLP exporter and ensure telemetry is written to the local file.
-gemini --telemetry \
-  --telemetry-target=local \
-  --telemetry-otlp-endpoint="" \
-  --telemetry-outfile="$TELEMETRY_FILE" \
-  --prompt "What is OpenTelemetry?"
-```
+## Local Telemetry
 
-## Running an OTEL Collector
+For local development and debugging, you can capture telemetry data locally:
 
-An OTEL Collector is a service that receives, processes, and exports telemetry data.
-The CLI can send data using either the OTLP/gRPC or OTLP/HTTP protocol.
-You can specify which protocol to use via the `--telemetry-otlp-protocol` flag
-or the `telemetry.otlpProtocol` setting in your `settings.json` file. See the
-[configuration docs](./cli/configuration.md#--telemetry-otlp-protocol) for more
-details.
+### File-based Output (Recommended)
 
-Learn more about OTEL exporter standard configuration in [documentation][otel-config-docs].
+1. Enable telemetry in your `.gemini/settings.json`:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "telemetry": {
+       "enabled": true,
+       "target": "local",
+       "otlpEndpoint": "",
+       "outfile": ".gemini/telemetry.log"
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+2. Run Gemini CLI and send prompts.
+3. View logs and metrics in the specified file (e.g., `.gemini/telemetry.log`).
 
-[otel-config-docs]: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/sdk-configuration/otlp-exporter/
+### Collector-Based Export (Advanced)
 
-### Local
+1. Run the automation script:
+   ```bash
+   npm run telemetry -- --target=local
+   ```
+   This will:
+   - Download and start Jaeger and OTEL collector
+   - Configure your workspace for local telemetry
+   - Provide a Jaeger UI at http://localhost:16686
+   - Save logs/metrics to `~/.gemini/tmp/<projectHash>/otel/collector.log`
+   - Stop collector on exit (e.g. `Ctrl+C`)
+2. Run Gemini CLI and send prompts.
+3. View traces at http://localhost:16686 and logs/metrics in the collector log
+   file.
 
-Use the `npm run telemetry -- --target=local` command to automate the process of setting up a local telemetry pipeline, including configuring the necessary settings in your `.gemini/settings.json` file. The underlying script installs `otelcol-contrib` (the OpenTelemetry Collector) and `jaeger` (The Jaeger UI for viewing traces). To use it:
+## Logs and Metrics
 
-1.  **Run the command**:
-    Execute the command from the root of the repository:
-
-    ```bash
-    npm run telemetry -- --target=local
-    ```
-
-    The script will:
-    - Download Jaeger and OTEL if needed.
-    - Start a local Jaeger instance.
-    - Start an OTEL collector configured to receive data from Gemini CLI.
-    - Automatically enable telemetry in your workspace settings.
-    - On exit, disable telemetry.
-
-1.  **View traces**:
-    Open your web browser and navigate to **http://localhost:16686** to access the Jaeger UI. Here you can inspect detailed traces of Gemini CLI operations.
-
-1.  **Inspect logs and metrics**:
-    The script redirects the OTEL collector output (which includes logs and metrics) to `~/.gemini/tmp/<projectHash>/otel/collector.log`. The script will provide links to view and a command to tail your telemetry data (traces, metrics, logs) locally.
-
-1.  **Stop the services**:
-    Press `Ctrl+C` in the terminal where the script is running to stop the OTEL Collector and Jaeger services.
-
-### Google Cloud
-
-Use the `npm run telemetry -- --target=gcp` command to automate setting up a local OpenTelemetry collector that forwards data to your Google Cloud project, including configuring the necessary settings in your `.gemini/settings.json` file. The underlying script installs `otelcol-contrib`. To use it:
-
-1.  **Prerequisites**:
-    - Have a Google Cloud project ID.
-    - Export the `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` environment variable to make it available to the OTEL collector.
-      ```bash
-      export OTLP_GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"
-      ```
-    - Authenticate with Google Cloud (e.g., run `gcloud auth application-default login` or ensure `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` is set).
-    - Ensure your Google Cloud account/service account has the necessary IAM roles: "Cloud Trace Agent", "Monitoring Metric Writer", and "Logs Writer".
-
-1.  **Run the command**:
-    Execute the command from the root of the repository:
-
-    ```bash
-    npm run telemetry -- --target=gcp
-    ```
-
-    The script will:
-    - Download the `otelcol-contrib` binary if needed.
-    - Start an OTEL collector configured to receive data from Gemini CLI and export it to your specified Google Cloud project.
-    - Automatically enable telemetry and disable sandbox mode in your workspace settings (`.gemini/settings.json`).
-    - Provide direct links to view traces, metrics, and logs in your Google Cloud Console.
-    - On exit (Ctrl+C), it will attempt to restore your original telemetry and sandbox settings.
-
-1.  **Run Gemini CLI:**
-    In a separate terminal, run your Gemini CLI commands. This generates telemetry data that the collector captures.
-
-1.  **View telemetry in Google Cloud**:
-    Use the links provided by the script to navigate to the Google Cloud Console and view your traces, metrics, and logs.
-
-1.  **Inspect local collector logs**:
-    The script redirects the local OTEL collector output to `~/.gemini/tmp/<projectHash>/otel/collector-gcp.log`. The script provides links to view and command to tail your collector logs locally.
-
-1.  **Stop the service**:
-    Press `Ctrl+C` in the terminal where the script is running to stop the OTEL Collector.

 ```
 
+## Configuration
+
+You can configure the behavior of the `run_shell_command` tool by modifying your `settings.json` file or by using the `/settings` command in the Gemini CLI.
+
+### Enabling Interactive Commands
+
+To enable interactive commands, you need to set the `tools.shell.enableInteractiveShell` setting to `true`. This will use `node-pty` for shell command execution, which allows for interactive sessions. If `node-pty` is not available, it will fall back to the `child_process` implementation, which does not support interactive commands.
+
+**Example `settings.json`:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "shell": {
+      "enableInteractiveShell": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Showing Color in Output
+
+To show color in the shell output, you need to set the `tools.shell.showColor` setting to `true`. **Note: This setting only applies when `tools.shell.enableInteractiveShell` is enabled.**
+
+**Example `settings.json`:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "shell": {
+      "showColor": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Setting the Pager
+
+You can set a custom pager for the shell output by setting the `tools.shell.pager` setting. The default pager is `cat`. **Note: This setting only applies when `tools.shell.enableInteractiveShell` is enabled.**
+
+**Example `settings.json`:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "shell": {
+      "pager": "less"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Interactive Commands
+
+The `run_shell_command` tool now supports interactive commands by integrating a pseudo-terminal (pty). This allows you to run commands that require real-time user input, such as text editors (`vim`, `nano`), terminal-based UIs (`htop`), and interactive version control operations (`git rebase -i`).
+
+When an interactive command is running, you can send input to it from the Gemini CLI. To focus on the interactive shell, press `ctrl+f`. The terminal output, including complex TUIs, will be rendered correctly.
+
 ## Important notes
 
 - **Security:** Be cautious when executing commands, especially those constructed from user input, to prevent security vulnerabilities.
-- **Interactive commands:** Avoid commands that require interactive user input, as this can cause the tool to hang. Use non-interactive flags if available (e.g., `npm init -y`).
 - **Error handling:** Check the `Stderr`, `Error`, and `Exit Code` fields to determine if a command executed successfully.
 - **Background processes:** When a command is run in the background with `&`, the tool will return immediately and the process will continue to run in the background. The `Background PIDs` field will contain the process ID of the background process.

+You can restrict the commands that can be executed by the `run_shell_command` tool by using the `tools.core` and `tools.exclude` settings in your configuration file.
 
-- `coreTools`: To restrict `run_shell_command` to a specific set of commands, add entries to the `coreTools` list in the format `run_shell_command(<command>)`. For example, `"coreTools": ["run_shell_command(git)"]` will only allow `git` commands. Including the generic `run_shell_command` acts as a wildcard, allowing any command not explicitly blocked.
-- `excludeTools`: To block specific commands, add entries to the `excludeTools` list in the format `run_shell_command(<command>)`. For example, `"excludeTools": ["run_shell_command(rm)"]` will block `rm` commands.
+- `tools.core`: To restrict `run_shell_command` to a specific set of commands, add entries to the `core` list under the `tools` category in the format `run_shell_command(<command>)`. For example, `"tools": {"core": ["run_shell_command(git)"]}` will only allow `git` commands. Including the generic `run_shell_command` acts as a wildcard, allowing any command not explicitly blocked.

 The validation logic is designed to be secure and flexible:
 
 1.  **Command Chaining Disabled**: The tool automatically splits commands chained with `&&`, `||`, or `;` and validates each part separately. If any part of the chain is disallowed, the entire command is blocked.
 2.  **Prefix Matching**: The tool uses prefix matching. For example, if you allow `git`, you can run `git status` or `git log`.
-3.  **Blocklist Precedence**: The `excludeTools` list is always checked first. If a command matches a blocked prefix, it will be denied, even if it also matches an allowed prefix in `coreTools`.

+# Trusted Folders
+
+The Trusted Folders feature is a security setting that gives you control over which projects can use the full capabilities of the Gemini CLI. It prevents potentially malicious code from running by asking you to approve a folder before the CLI loads any project-specific configurations from it.
+
+## Enabling the Feature
+
+The Trusted Folders feature is **disabled by default**. To use it, you must first enable it in your settings.
+
+Add the following to your user `settings.json` file:
+
+```json
+{
+  "security": {
+    "folderTrust": {
+      "enabled": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## How It Works: The Trust Dialog
+
+Once the feature is enabled, the first time you run the Gemini CLI from a folder, a dialog will automatically appear, prompting you to make a choice:
+
+- **Trust folder**: Grants full trust to the current folder (e.g., `my-project`).
+- **Trust parent folder**: Grants trust to the parent directory (e.g., `safe-projects`), which automatically trusts all of its subdirectories as well. This is useful if you keep all your safe projects in one place.
+- **Don't trust**: Marks the folder as untrusted. The CLI will operate in a restricted "safe mode."
+
+Your choice is saved in a central file (`~/.gemini/trustedFolders.json`), so you will only be asked once per folder.
+
+## Why Trust Matters: The Impact of an Untrusted Workspace
+
+When a folder is **untrusted**, the Gemini CLI runs in a restricted "safe mode" to protect you. In this mode, the following features are disabled:
+
+1.  **Workspace Settings are Ignored**: The CLI will **not** load the `.gemini/settings.json` file from the project. This prevents the loading of custom tools and other potentially dangerous configurations.
+
+2.  **Environment Variables are Ignored**: The CLI will **not** load any `.env` files from the project.
+
+3.  **Extension Management is Restricted**: You **cannot install, update, or uninstall** extensions.
+
+4.  **Tool Auto-Acceptance is Disabled**: You will always be prompted before any tool is run, even if you have auto-acceptance enabled globally.
+
+5.  **Automatic Memory Loading is Disabled**: The CLI will not automatically load files into context from directories specified in local settings.
+
+Granting trust to a folder unlocks the full functionality of the Gemini CLI for that workspace.
+
+## Managing Your Trust Settings
+
+If you need to change a decision or see all your settings, you have a couple of options:
+
+- **Change the Current Folder's Trust**: Run the `/permissions` command from within the CLI. This will bring up the same interactive dialog, allowing you to change the trust level for the current folder.
+
+- **View All Trust Rules**: To see a complete list of all your trusted and untrusted folder rules, you can inspect the contents of the `~/.gemini/trustedFolders.json` file in your home directory.
+
+## The Trust Check Process (Advanced)
+
+For advanced users, it's helpful to know the exact order of operations for how trust is determined:
+
+1.  **IDE Trust Signal**: If you are using the [IDE Integration](./ide-integration.md), the CLI first asks the IDE if the workspace is trusted. The IDE's response takes highest priority.
+
+2.  **Local Trust File**: If the IDE is not connected, the CLI checks the central `~/.gemini/trustedFolders.json` file.

+# Ink Library Screen Reader Guidance
+
+When building custom components, it's important to keep accessibility in mind. While Ink provides the building blocks, ensuring your components are accessible will make your CLIs usable by a wider audience.
+
+## General Principles
+
+Provide screen reader-friendly output: Use the useIsScreenReaderEnabled hook to detect if a screen reader is active. You can then render a more descriptive output for screen reader users.
+Leverage ARIA props: For components that have a specific role (e.g., a checkbox or a button), use the aria-role, aria-state, and aria-label props on <Box> and <Text> to provide semantic meaning to screen readers.

+# RFC: Gemini CLI A2A Development-Tool Extension
+
+## 1. Introduction
+
+### 1.1 Overview
+
+To standardize client integrations with the Gemini CLI agent, this document proposes the `development-tool` extension for the A2A protocol.
+
+Rather than creating a new protocol, this specification builds upon the existing A2A protocol. As an open-source standard recently adopted by the Linux Foundation, A2A provides a robust foundation for core concepts like tasks, messages, and streaming events. This extension-based approach allows us to leverage A2A's proven architecture while defining the specific capabilities required for rich, interactive workflows with the Gemini CLI agent.
+
+### 1.2 Motivation
+
+Recent work integrating Gemini CLI with clients like Zed and Gemini Code Assist’s agent mode has highlighted the need for a robust, standard communication protocol. Standardizing on A2A provides several key advantages:
+
+- **Solid Foundation**: Provides a robust, open standard that ensures a stable, predictable, and consistent integration experience across different IDEs and client surfaces.
+- **Extensibility**: Creates a flexible foundation to support new tools and workflows as they emerge.
+- **Ecosystem Alignment**: Aligns Gemini CLI with a growing industry standard, fostering broader interoperability.
+
+## 2. Communication Flow
+
+The interaction follows A2A’s task-based, streaming pattern. The client sends a `message/stream` request and the agent responds with a `contextId` / `taskId` and a stream of events. `TaskStatusUpdateEvent` events are used to convey the overall state of the task. The task is complete when the agent sends a final `TaskStatusUpdateEvent` with `final: true` and a terminal status like `completed` or `failed`.
+
+### 2.1 Asynchronous Responses and Notifications
+
+Clients that may disconnect from the agent should supply a `PushNotificationConfig` to the agent with the initial `message/stream` method or subsequently with the `tasks/pushNotificationConfig/set` method so that the agent can call back when updates are ready.
+
+## 3. The `development-tool` extension
+
+### 3.1 Overview
+
+The `development-tool` extension establishes a communication contract for workflows between a client and the Gemini CLI agent. It consists of a specialized set of schemas, embedded within core A2A data structures, that enable the agent to stream real-time updates on its state and thought process. These schemas also provide the mechanism for the agent to request user permission before executing tools.

+        "description": "An extension for interactive development tasks, enabling features like code generation, tool usage, and real-time status updates.",
+        "required": true
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Versioning**
+
+The agent card `uri` field contains an embedded semantic version. The client must extract this version to determine compatibility with the agent extension using the compatibility logic defined in Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 spec.
+
+### 3.2 Schema Definitions
+
+This section defines the schemas for the `development-tool` A2A extension, organized by their function within the communication flow. Note that all custom objects included in the `metadata` field (e.g. `Message.metadata`) must be keyed by the unique URI that points to that extension’s spec to prevent naming collisions with other extensions.
+
+**Initialization & Configuration**
+
+The first message in a session must contain an `AgentSettings` object in its metadata. This object provides the agent with the necessary configuration information for proper initialization. Additional configuration settings (ex. MCP servers, allowed tools, etc.) can be added to this message.
+
+**Schema**
+
+```proto
+syntax = "proto3";
+
+// Configuration settings for the Gemini CLI agent.
+message AgentSettings {
+  // The absolute path to the workspace directory where the agent will execute.
+  string workspace_path = 1;
+}
+```
+
+**Agent-to-Client Messages**
+
+All real-time updates from the agent (including its thoughts, tool calls, and simple text replies) are streamed to the client as `TaskStatusUpdateEvents`.
+
+Each Event contains a `Message` object, which holds the content in one of two formats:
+
+- **TextPart**: Used for standard text messages. This part requires no custom schema.
+- **DataPart**: Used for complex, structured objects. Tool Calls and Thoughts are sent this way, each using their respective schemas defined below.
+
+**Tool Calls**
+
+The `ToolCall` schema is designed to provide a structured representation of a tool’s execution lifecycle. This protocol defines a clear state machine and provides detailed schemas for common development tasks (file edits, shell commands, MCP Tool), ensuring clients can build reliable UIs without being tied to a specific agent implementation.
+
+The core principle is that the agent sends a `ToolCall` object on every update. This makes client-side logic stateless and simple.
+
+**Tool Call Lifecycle**
+
+1.  **Creation**: The agent sends a `ToolCall` object with `status: PENDING`. If user permission is required, the `confirmation_request` field will be populated.
+2.  **Confirmation**: If the client needs to confirm the message, the client will send a `ToolCallConfirmation`. If the client responds with a cancellation, execution will be skipped.
+3.  **Execution**: Once approved (or if no approval is required), the agent sends an update with `status: EXECUTING`. It can stream real-time progress by updating the `live_content` field.
+4.  **Completion**: The agent sends a final update with the status set to `SUCCEEDED`, `FAILED`, or `CANCELLED` and populates the appropriate result field.
+
+**Schema**
+
+```proto
+syntax = "proto3";
+
+import "google/protobuf/struct.proto";
+
+// ToolCall is the central message represeting a tool's execution lifecycle.
+// The entire object is sent from the agent to client on every update.
+message ToolCall {
+  // A unique identifier, assigned by the agent
+  string tool_call_id = 1;
+
+  // The current state of the tool call in its lifecycle
+  ToolCallStatus status = 2;
+
+  // Name of the tool being called (e.g. 'Edit', 'ShellTool')
+  string tool_name = 3;
+
+  // An optional description of the tool call's purpose to show the user
+  optional string description = 4;
+
+  // The structured input params provided by the LLM for tool invocation.
+  google.protobuf.Struct input_parameters = 5;
+
+  // String containing the real-time output from the tool as it executes (primarily designed for shell output).
+  // During streaming the entire string is replaced on each update
+  optional string live_content = 6;
+
+  // The final result of the tool (used to replace live_content when applicable)
+  oneof result {
+    // The output on tool success
+    ToolOutput output = 7;
+    // The error details if the tool failed
+    ErrorDetails error = 8;
+  }
+
+  // If the tool requires user confirmation, this field will be populated while status is PENDING
+  optional ConfirmationRequest confirmation_request = 9;
+}
+
+// Possible execution status of a ToolCall
+enum ToolCallStatus {
+  STATUS_UNSPECIFIED = 0;
+  PENDING = 1;
+  EXECUTING = 2;
+  SUCCEEDED = 3;
+  FAILED = 4;
+  CANCELLED = 5;
+}
+
+// ToolOuput represents the final, successful, output of a tool
+message ToolOutput {
+  oneof result {
+    string text = 1;
+    // For ToolCalls which resulted in a file modification
+    FileDiff diff = 2;
+    // A generic fallback for any other structured JSON data
+    google.protobuf.Struct structured_data = 3;
+  }
+}
+
+// A structured representation of an error
+message ErrorDetails {
+  // User facing error message
+  string message = 1;
+  // Optional agent-specific error type or category (e.g. read_content_failure, grep_execution_error, mcp_tool_error)
+  optional string type = 2;
+  // Optional status code
+  optional int32 status_code = 3;
+}
+
+// ConfirmationRequest is sent from the agent to client to request user permission for a ToolCall
+message ConfirmationRequest {
+  // A list of choices for the user to select from
+  repeated ConfirmationOption options = 1;
+  // Specific details of the action requiring user confirmation
+  oneof details {
+    ExecuteDetails execute_details = 2;
+    FileDiff file_edit_details = 3;
+    McpDetails mcp_details = 4;
+    GenericDetails generic_details = 5;
+  }
+}
+
+// A single choice presented to the user during a confirmation request
+message ConfirmationOption {
+  // Unique ID for the choice (e.g. proceed_once, cancel)
+  string id = 1;
+  // Human-readable choice (e.g. Allow Once, Reject).
+  string name = 2;
+  // An optional longer description for a tooltip
+  optional string description = 3;
+}
+
+// Details for a request to execute a shell command
+message ExecuteDetails {
+  // The shell command to be executed
+  string command = 1;
+  // An optional directory in which the command will be run
+  optional string working_directory = 2;
+}
+
+
+message FileDiff {
+  string file_name = 1;
+  // The absolute path to the file to modify
+  string file_path = 2;
+  // The original content, if the file exists
+  optional string old_content = 3;
+  string new_content = 4;
+  // Pre-formatted diff string for display
+  optional string formatted_diff = 5;
+}
+
+// Details for an MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool confirmation
+message McpDetails {
+  // The name of the MCP server that provides the tool
+  string server_name = 1;
+  // THe name of the tool being called from the MCP Server
+  string tool_name = 2;
+}
+
+// Generic catch-all for ToolCall requests that don't fit other types
+message GenericDetails {
+  // Description of the action requiring confirmation
+  string description = 1;
+}
+```
+
+**Agent Thoughts**
+
+**Schema**
+
+```proto
+syntax = "proto3";
+
+// Represents a thought with a subject and a detailed description.
+message AgentThought {
+  // A concise subject line or title for the thought.
+  string subject = 1;
+
+  // The description or elaboration of the thought itself.
+  string description = 2;
+}
+```
+
+**Event Metadata**
+
+The `metadata` object in `TaskStatusUpdateEvent` is used by the A2A client to deserialize the `TaskStatusUpdateEvents` into their appropriate objects.
+
+**Schema**
+
+```proto
+syntax = "proto3";
+
+// A DevelopmentToolEvent event.
+message DevelopmentToolEvent {
+  // Enum representing the specific type of development tool event.
+  enum DevelopmentToolEventKind {
+    // The default, unspecified value.
+    DEVELOPMENT_TOOL_EVENT_KIND_UNSPECIFIED = 0;
+    TOOL_CALL_CONFIRMATION = 1;
+    TOOL_CALL_UPDATE = 2;
+    TEXT_CONTENT = 3;
+    STATE_CHANGE = 4;
+    THOUGHT = 5;
+  }
+
+  // The specific kind of event that occurred.
+  DevelopmentToolEventKind kind = 1;
+
+  // The model used for this event.
+  string model = 2;
+
+  // The tier of the user (optional).
+  string user_tier = 3;
+
+  // An unexpected error occurred in the agent execution (optional).
+  string error = 4;
+}
+```
+
+**Client-to-Agent Messages**
+
+When the agent sends a `TaskStatusUpdateEvent` with `status.state` set to `input-required` and its message contains a `ConfirmationRequest`, the client must respond by sending a new `message/stream` request.
+
+This new request must include the `contextId` and the `taskId` from the ongoing task and contain a `ToolCallConfirmation` object. This object conveys the user's decision regarding the tool call that was awaiting approval.
+
+**Schema**
+
+```proto
+syntax = "proto3";
+
+// The client's response to a ConfirmationRequest.
+message ToolCallConfirmation {
+  // A unique identifier, assigned by the agent
+  string tool_call_id = 1;
+  // The 'id' of the ConfirmationOption chosen by the user.
+  string selected_option_id = 2;
+  // Included if the user modifies the proposed change.
+  // The type should correspond to the original ConfirmationRequest details.
+  oneof modified_details {
+    // Corresponds to a FileDiff confirmation
+    ModifiedFileDetails file_details = 3;
+  }
+}
+
+message ModifiedFileDetails {
+  // The new content after user edits.
+  string new_content = 1;
+}
+```
+
+### 3.3 Method Definitions
+
+This section defines the new methods introduced by the `development-tool` extension.
+
+**Method: `commands/get`**
+
+This method allows the client to discover slash commands supported by Gemini CLI. The client should call this method during startup to dynamically populate its command list.
+
+```proto
+// Response message containing the list of all top-level slash commands.
+message GetAllSlashCommandsResponse {
+  // A list of the top-level slash commands.
+  repeated SlashCommand commands = 1;
+}
+
+// Represents a single slash command, which can contain subcommands.
+message SlashCommand {
+  // The primary name of the command.
+  string name = 1;
+  // A detailed description of what the command does.
+  string description = 2;
+  // A list of arguments that the command accepts.
+  repeated SlashCommandArgument arguments = 3;
+  // A list of nested subcommands.
+  repeated SlashCommand sub_commands = 4;
+}
+
+// Defines the structure for a single slash command argument.
+message SlashCommandArgument {
+  // The name of the argument.
+  string name = 1;
+  // A brief description of what the argument is for.
+  string description = 2;
+  // Whether the argument is required or optional.
+  bool is_required = 3;
+}
+```
+
+**Method: `command/execute`**
+
+This method allows the client to execute a slash command. Following the initial `ExecuteSlashCommandResponse`, the agent will use the standard streaming mechanism to communicate the command's progress and output. All subsequent updates, including textual output, agent thoughts, and any required user confirmations for tool calls (like executing a shell command), will be sent as `TaskStatusUpdateEvent` messages, re-using the schemas defined above.
+
+```proto
+// Request to execute a specific slash command.
+message ExecuteSlashCommandRequest {
+  // The path to the command, e.g., ["memory", "add"] for /memory add
+  repeated string command_path = 1;
+  // The arguments for the command as a single string.
+  string args = 2;
+}
+
+// Enum for the initial status of a command execution request.
+enum CommandExecutionStatus {
+  // Default unspecified status.
+  COMMAND_EXECUTION_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED = 0;
+  // The command was successfully received and its execution has started.
+  STARTED = 1;
+  // The command failed to start (e.g., command not found, invalid format).
+  FAILED_TO_START = 2;
+  // The command has been paused and is waiting for the user to confirm
+  // a set of shell commands.
+  AWAITING_SHELL_CONFIRMATION = 3;
+  // The command has been paused and is waiting for the user to confirm
+  // a specific action.
+  AWAITING_ACTION_CONFIRMATION = 4;
+}
+
+// The immediate, async response after requesting a command execution.
+message ExecuteSlashCommandResponse {
+  // A unique taskID for this specific command execution.
+  string execution_id = 1;
+  // The initial status of the command execution.
+  CommandExecutionStatus status = 2;
+  // An optional message, particularly useful for explaining why a command
+  // failed to start.
+  string message = 3;
+}
+```
+
+## 4. Separation of Concerns
+
+We believe that all client-side context (ex., workspace state) and client-side tool execution (ex. read active buffers) should be routed through MCP.
+
+This approach enforces a strict separation of concerns: the A2A `development-tool` extension standardizes communication to the agent, while MCP serves as the single, authoritative interface for client-side capabilities.
+
+## Appendix
+
+### A. Example Interaction Flow
+
+1.  **Client -> Server**: The client sends a `message/stream` request containing the initial prompt and configuration in an `AgentSettings` object.
+2.  **Server -> Client**: SSE stream begins.
+    - **Event 1**: The server sends a `Task` object with `status.state: 'submitted'` and the new `taskId`.
+    - **Event 2**: The server sends a `TaskStatusUpdateEvent` with the metadata `kind` set to `'STATE_CHANGE'` and `status.state` set to `'working'`.
+3.  **Agent Logic**: The agent processes the prompt and decides to call the `write_file` tool, which requires user confirmation.
+4.  **Server -> Client**:
+    - **Event 3**: The server sends a `TaskStatusUpdateEvent`. The metadata `kind` is `'TOOL_CALL_UPDATE'`, and the `DataPart` contains a `ToolCall` object with its `status` as `'PENDING'` and a populated `confirmation_request`.
+    - **Event 4**: The server sends a final `TaskStatusUpdateEvent` for this exchange. The metadata `kind` is `'STATE_CHANGE'`, the `status.state` is `'input-required'`, and `final` is `true`. The stream for this request ends.
+5.  **Client**: The client UI renders the confirmation prompt based on the `ToolCall` object from Event 3. The user clicks "Approve."
+6.  **Client -> Server**: The client sends a new `message/stream` request. It includes the `taskId` from the ongoing task and a `DataPart` containing a `ToolCallConfirmation` object (e.g., `{"tool_call_id": "...", "selected_option_id": "proceed_once"}`).
+7.  **Server -> Client**: A new SSE stream begins for the second request.
+    - **Event 1**: The server sends a `TaskStatusUpdateEvent` with `kind: 'TOOL_CALL_UPDATE'`, containing the `ToolCall` object with its `status` now set to `'EXECUTING'`.
+    - **Event 2**: After the tool runs, the server sends another `TaskStatusUpdateEvent` with `kind: 'TOOL_CALL_UPDATE'`, containing the `ToolCall` with its `status` as `'SUCCEEDED'`.
+8.  **Agent Logic**: The agent receives the successful tool result and generates a final textual response.
+9.  **Server -> Client**:
+    - **Event 3**: The server sends a `TaskStatusUpdateEvent` with `kind: 'TEXT_CONTENT'` and a `TextPart` containing the agent's final answer.
+    - **Event 4**: The server sends the final `TaskStatusUpdateEvent`. The `kind` is `'STATE_CHANGE'`, the `status.state` is `'completed'`, and `final` is `true`. The stream ends.
+10. **Client**: The client displays the final answer. The task is now complete but can be continued by sending another message with the same `taskId`.
