  overriding values. Refer to `text-buffer.ts` for a canonical example.

-  or reverting the unsaved changes, then the component should directly read from
-  and write to the Settings store without holding pending changes in component
-  level UI state.
- **Effect**: `useEffect` should not be used to synchronize React states, it
-  should only be used for genuine side effects that occur outside of React.
-  Contributors should be able to strongly justify the need for an effect.
-  Consider whether the effect should instead be inside an event handler, or

-  Main Agents: Do NOT use this skill directly. If you need to test the TUI, invoke the `tui_tester` subagent.
-  Drive terminal UI (TUI) applications programmatically for testing, automation, and inspection.
-  Use when: automating CLI/TUI interactions, regression testing terminal apps, or verifying interactive behavior.
-  Also use when: user asks "what is agent-tui", "what does agent-tui do", "demo agent-tui", "show me agent-tui", "how does agent-tui work", or wants to see it in action.

-## 🚨 CRITICAL: macOS Daemon Workaround & Gemini CLI Usage 🚨
-
-When using `agent-tui` in this macOS environment, the default background daemonization process crashes, causing `Connection refused (os error 61)` errors. 
-
-**You MUST start the daemon manually shielded from TTY hangups before running any `agent-tui` commands.** Using `nohup` is insufficient; you must use `tmux` to provide a fully isolated pseudo-terminal. 
-
-To support parallel runs, **only restart the daemon if it is not currently running:**
-
-```bash
-# Check if daemon is alive, start it in tmux if it is not
-if ! agent-tui sessions >/dev/null 2>&1; then
-  tmux kill-session -t agent-tui 2>/dev/null || true
-  agent-tui daemon stop 2>/dev/null || true
-  rm -f /tmp/agent-tui*
-  tmux new-session -d -s agent-tui 'agent-tui daemon start --foreground > /tmp/agent-tui-daemon.log 2>&1'
-  sleep 1
-fi
-```
-
-### Session ID vs PID (Crucial for Reconnection)
-
-When `agent-tui run` returns JSON, it includes both a `session_id` and a `pid`. The `pid` is purely informational (the OS process ID of the child command). You **do not** use the `pid` to reconnect or issue commands. You must always use the `session_id` (e.g., `--session <id>`). 
-
-If the daemon crashes (`os error 61`), the pseudo-terminal is destroyed. Even if the child `pid` survives as an orphan, you cannot reconnect to it. You must restart the daemon using the workaround above and start a completely new session.
-
-### Testing the Gemini CLI
-
-When testing the Gemini CLI with `agent-tui`, there are several strict requirements to ensure deterministic and accurate behavior:
-
-1. **Build Before Running**: `agent-tui` runs the built JS files, not TypeScript. You **MUST** run `npm run build` or `npm run build:all` after making code changes and before launching the CLI with `agent-tui`.
-2. **Bypass Trust Modals**: Always pass `GEMINI_CLI_TRUST_WORKSPACE=true` in the environment. If you don't, any new project-level agents or extensions will trigger a full-screen "Acknowledge and Enable" modal. This modal steals focus, swallows automation keystrokes, and causes `agent-tui wait` commands to time out.
-3. **Isolated Environments**: If you need to test without real user credentials or existing agents interfering, isolate the global settings using `GEMINI_CLI_HOME=<some-test-dir>`.
-4. **Testing State Deltas (e.g., Reloads)**: If you are testing features that report deltas (e.g., `/agents reload` outputting "1 new local subagent"), you **MUST**:
-   - Start the CLI *first* so it establishes its baseline registry.
-   - Use a separate shell command (outside of `agent-tui`) to write the new agent `.md`/`.toml` file.
-   - Use `agent-tui type` and `press` to trigger the `/agents reload` command inside the running session.
-   - (If you add the files before starting the CLI, they become part of the baseline and won't trigger the delta logic).
-
-```bash
-# Example: Standard isolated run (sandboxed config + bypass trust modals)
-env GEMINI_CLI_TRUST_WORKSPACE=true GEMINI_CLI_HOME=test-gemini-home agent-tui run -d "$(pwd)" node packages/cli/dist/index.js
-```

-# Terminal Automation Mastery
-
-## Prerequisites
-
- **Supported OS**: macOS or Linux (Windows not supported yet).
- **Verify install**:
-
-```bash
-agent-tui --version
-```
-
-If not installed, use one of:
-
-```bash
-# Recommended: one-line install (macOS/Linux)
-curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pproenca/agent-tui/master/install.sh | sh
-```
-
-```bash
-# Package manager
-npm i -g agent-tui
-pnpm add -g agent-tui
-bun add -g agent-tui
-```
-
-```bash
-# Build from source
-cargo install --git https://github.com/pproenca/agent-tui.git --path cli/crates/agent-tui
-```
-
-If you used the install script, ensure `~/.local/bin` is on your PATH.
-
-## Philosophy: Why Terminal Automation Is Different
-
-Terminal UIs are **stateless from the observer's perspective**. Unlike web browsers with a persistent DOM, terminal automation works with a constantly-refreshed character grid. This fundamental difference shapes everything:
-
-| Web Automation | Terminal Automation |
-|----------------|---------------------|
-| DOM persists across interactions | Screen buffer is redrawn constantly |
-| Selectors are stable | Text positions may shift |
-| Query once, act many times | Must re-verify before EVERY action |
-| Network events signal completion | Must detect visual stability |
-
-**The Core Insight**: agent-tui gives you vision without memory. Each screenshot is a fresh observation. Previous state means nothing after the UI changes. This isn't a limitation—it's the nature of terminal interaction.
-
-## Mental Model: The Feedback Loop
-
-Think of terminal automation as a **closed-loop control system**:
-
-```
-    ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
-    │                                              │
-    ▼                                              │
-OBSERVE ──► DECIDE ──► ACT ──► WAIT ──► VERIFY ───┘
-   │                                        │
-   │                                        │
-   └─────── NEVER skip ◄────────────────────┘
-```
-
-**Each phase is mandatory.** Skipping verification is the #1 cause of flaky automation.
-
-### The "Fresh Eyes" Principle
-
-Every time you need to interact with the UI:
-
-1. **Take a fresh screenshot** — your previous one is now stale
-2. **Locate your target visually** — text positions may have changed
-3. **Verify the state** — the UI may have changed unexpectedly
-4. **Act only when stable** — animations and loading states cause failures
-
-This feels slower, but it's the only reliable approach. Optimistic reuse of stale state causes intermittent failures that are painful to debug.
-
-## Critical Rules (Non-Negotiable)
-
-> **RULE 1: Atomic Execution (No Pipelining)**
-> You are FORBIDDEN from chaining commands with `&&` (e.g., `type "x" && press Enter && wait`). Modals or UI updates can intercept your keystrokes. You MUST execute one atomic action, wait, screenshot, and verify before taking the next action in a new turn.
-
-> **RULE 2: Re-snapshot after EVERY action**
-> The UI state is invalidated by any change. Always take a fresh screenshot before acting again.
-
-> **RULE 3: Never act on unstable UI**
-> If the UI is animating, loading, or transitioning, `wait --stable` first. Acting during transitions because race conditions.
-
-> **RULE 4: Verify before claiming success**
-> Use `wait "expected text" --assert` to confirm outcomes. Don't assume an action worked—prove it.
-
-> **RULE 5: Error Recovery**
-> If a `wait` command times out, DO NOT blindly restart or kill the session. Execute `screenshot` to visually diagnose what unexpected UI element (modal, error dialog, lost focus) intercepted the flow.
-
-> **RULE 6: Clean up sessions**
-> Always end with `agent-tui kill`. Orphaned sessions consume resources and can interfere with future runs.
-
-## Decision Framework
-
-### Which Screenshot Mode?
-
-Use `screenshot --format json` when parsing automation output, or plain `screenshot` for human readable text.
-
-### How to Wait?
-
-```
-What are you waiting for?
-│
-├─► Specific text to appear
-│   └─► `wait "text" --assert` (fails if not found)
-│
-├─► Specific text to disappear
-│   └─► `wait "text" --gone --assert`
-│
-├─► UI to stop changing (animations, loading)
-│   └─► `wait --stable`
-│
-└─► Multiple conditions
-    └─► Chain waits sequentially
-```
-
-### How to Act?
-
-```
-What do you need to do?
-│
-├─► Type text into the terminal
-│   └─► `type "text"`
-│
-├─► Send keyboard shortcuts/navigation
-│   └─► `press Ctrl+C` or `press ArrowDown Enter`
-```
-
-## Core Workflow
-
-The canonical automation loop:
-
-```bash
-# 1. START: Launch the TUI app
-agent-tui run <command> [-- args...]
-
-# 2. OBSERVE: Get current UI state
-agent-tui screenshot --format json
-
-# 3. DECIDE: Based on text, determine next action
-# (This happens in your head/code)
-
-# 4. ACT: Execute the action
-agent-tui type "text"
-agent-tui press Enter
-
-# 5. WAIT: Synchronize with UI changes
-agent-tui wait "Expected" --assert    # or wait --stable
-
-# 6. VERIFY: Confirm the outcome (often combined with step 5)
-# If verification fails, handle the error
-
-# 7. REPEAT: Go back to step 2 until done
-
-# 8. CLEANUP: Always clean up
-agent-tui kill
-```
-
-## Anti-Patterns (What NOT to Do)
-
-### ❌ Acting During Animation/Loading
-
-```bash
-# WRONG: Acting immediately on dynamic UI
-agent-tui run my-app
-agent-tui screenshot --format json    # UI might still be loading!
-agent-tui type "value"                # ❌ Might miss the input field
-
-# RIGHT: Wait for stability first
-agent-tui run my-app
-agent-tui wait --stable               # Let UI settle
-agent-tui screenshot --format json    # Now it's reliable
-agent-tui type "value"
-```
-
-### ❌ Assuming Success Without Verification
-
-```bash
-# WRONG: Assuming the type worked
-agent-tui type "value"
-agent-tui press Enter
-# ...proceed as if success...       # ❌ What if it failed silently?
-
-# RIGHT: Verify the outcome
-agent-tui type "value"
-agent-tui press Enter
-agent-tui wait "Success" --assert    # ✓ Proves the action worked
-```
-
-### ❌ Skipping Cleanup
-
-```bash
-# WRONG: Forgetting to kill the session
-agent-tui run my-app
-# ...do stuff...
-# script ends                        # ❌ Session left running!
-
-# RIGHT: Always clean up
-agent-tui run my-app
-# ...do stuff...
-agent-tui kill                       # ✓ Clean exit
-```
-
-## Before You Start: Clarify Requirements
-
-Before automating any TUI, gather this information:
-
-1. **Command**: What exactly to run? (`my-app --flag` or `npm start`?)
-2. **Success criteria**: What text/state indicates success?
-3. **Input sequence**: What keystrokes/data to enter, in what order?
-4. **Safety**: Is it safe to submit forms, delete data, etc.?
-5. **Auth**: Does it need login? Test credentials?
-6. **Live preview**: Does the user want to watch? (`agent-tui live start --open`)
-
-If any of these are unclear, ask before running.
-
-## Demo Mode: Showing What agent-tui Can Do
-
-When a user asks what agent-tui is, wants a demo, or asks "show me how it works":
-
-1. **Don't explain—demonstrate.** Actions speak louder than words.
-2. **Use the live preview** so they can watch in real-time.
-3. **Run `top`**—it's universal and shows dynamic real-time updates.
-
-**Quick demo trigger phrases:**
- "What is agent-tui?" / "What does agent-tui do?"
- "Demo agent-tui" / "Show me agent-tui"
- "How does agent-tui work?" / "See it in action"
-
-## Failure Recovery
-
-| Symptom | Diagnosis | Solution |
-|---------|-----------|----------|
-| "Text not found" | Stale view or text moved | Re-snapshot, locate text again |
-| Wait times out | UI didn't reach expected state | Check screenshot, verify expectations |
-| "Daemon not running" | Daemon crashed or not started | `agent-tui daemon start` |
-| Unexpected layout | Wrong terminal size | `agent-tui resize --cols 120 --rows 40` |
-| Session unresponsive | App crashed or hung | `agent-tui kill`, then re-run |
-| Repeated failures | Something fundamentally wrong | Stop after 3-5 attempts, ask user |
-
-## Self-Discovery: Use --help
-
-You don't need to memorize every flag. The CLI is self-documenting:
-
-```bash
-agent-tui --help                     # List all commands
-agent-tui run --help                 # Options for 'run'
-agent-tui screenshot --help          # Options for 'screenshot'
-agent-tui wait --help                # Options for 'wait'
-```
-
-**When in doubt, ask the CLI.** This skill teaches *when* and *why* to use commands. For exact flags and syntax, `--help` is authoritative.
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-```bash
-# Start app
-agent-tui run <cmd> [-- args]        # Launch TUI under control
-
-# Observe
-agent-tui screenshot                  # Plain text view
-agent-tui screenshot --format json    # Machine-readable output
-
-# Act
-agent-tui press Enter                 # Press key(s)
-agent-tui press Ctrl+C                # Keyboard shortcuts
-agent-tui type "text"                 # Type text
-
-# Wait/Verify
-agent-tui wait "text" --assert        # Wait for text, fail if not found
-agent-tui wait "text" --gone --assert # Wait for text to disappear
-agent-tui wait --stable               # Wait for UI to stop changing
-
-# Manage
-agent-tui sessions                    # List active sessions
-agent-tui live start --open           # Start live preview
-agent-tui kill                        # End current session

-description: Expert guidance for testing Gemini CLI behavior and visual output using terminal automation.
---
-
-# TUI Tester Skill
-
-This skill provides the operational manual for verifying Gemini CLI behavioral changes and visual output using terminal automation.
-
-## Core Responsibilities
-
- **Verify Behavior**: Confirm that code changes result in the expected terminal interactions.
- **Visual Validation**: Ensure the TUI renders correctly across different terminal sizes and states.
- **Regression Testing**: Use automation to prevent breaking existing interactive workflows.
-
-## Critical Protocol
-
-When performing TUI testing, you must adhere to these strict rules:
-
-### 1. Initialization
-**YOUR ABSOLUTE FIRST ACTION MUST BE:**
-Activate the `agent-tui` skill. This provides the underlying tools needed for terminal automation.
-
-### 2. Environment Setup (macOS / Parallel Safe)
-Ensure the global daemon is running and the live preview is open:
-```bash
-if ! agent-tui sessions >/dev/null 2>&1; then
-  tmux kill-session -t agent-tui 2>/dev/null || true
-  agent-tui daemon stop 2>/dev/null || true
-  rm -f /tmp/agent-tui*
-  tmux new-session -d -s agent-tui 'agent-tui daemon start --foreground > /tmp/agent-tui-daemon.log 2>&1'
-  sleep 1
-fi
-agent-tui live start --open
-```
-
-### 3. Session Management
- **Session IDs**: Always use the `session_id` returned by `agent-tui run` for subsequent interactions.
- **Atomic Execution**: Execute exactly one command per turn. Do not pipeline actions.
- **The Loop**: Action -> Wait -> Screenshot -> Verify -> Next Action.
-
-### 4. Gemini CLI Specifics
- **Build First**: Always run `npm run build` or `npm run build:all` before testing local changes.
- **Bypass Trust**: Set `GEMINI_CLI_TRUST_WORKSPACE=true` to avoid focus-stealing modals.
- **Isolate Config**: Use `GEMINI_CLI_HOME` to prevent interference with your personal settings.
-
-## Workflow Example
-
-```bash
-# Start the CLI
-env GEMINI_CLI_TRUST_WORKSPACE=true agent-tui run node packages/cli/dist/index.js
-
-# Wait for the prompt
-agent-tui wait "│" --assert
-
-# Send a command
-agent-tui type "/help"
-agent-tui press Enter
-
-# Verify output
-agent-tui wait "Available Commands" --assert
-```
-
-## Error Recovery
-If a wait times out, take a fresh screenshot to diagnose the state. If you see `os error 61`, restart the daemon using the tmux method.

-            3. Review the issue title, body, current labels, and any comments provided in the JSON file.
-            4. Identify the most relevant labels from the existing labels, specifically focusing on area/*, kind/*, and priority/*.

            5. Label Policy:
               - If the issue already has a kind/ label, do not change it.
-               - If the issue has exactly ONE priority/ label, do not change it (unless you are explicitly re-evaluating an ambiguous priority).
-               - If the issue is missing a priority/ label, OR if the issue currently has MULTIPLE priority/ labels, you must evaluate the issue's impact to determine exactly ONE priority level (priority/p0, priority/p1, priority/p2, priority/p3, or priority/unknown) based the guidelines. If you are fixing an issue with multiple priority/ labels, put the correct one in `labels_to_add` and put all the incorrect ones in `labels_to_remove`.
-               - If the issue has exactly ONE area/ label, do not change it.
-               - If the issue is missing an area/ label, OR if the issue currently has MULTIPLE area/ labels, select exactly ONE area/ label that best fits the issue. Issues MUST NOT have multiple area/ labels. If you are fixing an issue with multiple area/ labels, put the correct one in `labels_to_add` and put all the incorrect ones in `labels_to_remove`.

+               - If the issue already has an area/ label, do not change it.
               - If any of these are missing, select exactly ONE appropriate label for the missing category.
            6. Identify other applicable labels based on the issue content, such as status/*, help wanted, good first issue, etc.

-            9. For each issue, carefully check if the CLI version is present. It is usually found under the "### Client information" header, as a bullet point (e.g., "• CLI Version: 0.33.1", "* **CLI Version:** 0.42.0"), or in the output of the `/about` command.
-              - **Only for issues classified as kind/bug:** If the version is provided but is more than 6 minor versions older than the most recent release (current version is ${{ steps.get_version.outputs.version }}), apply the status/need-information label and leave a comment politely asking the user to verify if the issue persists in the latest version.
-            10. **Only for issues classified as kind/bug:** If the issue does not have sufficient information, recommend the status/need-information label and leave a comment politely requesting the missing details. For example, if repro steps are missing, ask for them; if the CLI version is completely missing, ask for the version information in the explanation section below. Do not ask for version info if it is already in the issue body. (Check both bullet points and bold text). For features and enhancements, the CLI version is NOT required.
-            11. If you think an issue is a Priority/P0, you MUST apply the priority/p1 label AND the status/manual-triage label, and include a note in your explanation that it likely requires P0 escalation.
-            12. If the issue is highly ambiguous, completely lacks a description, or you are torn between two lower priorities (like P2 vs P3), you MUST retain the existing priority label if one is already present. Do not toggle the priority if you do not have enough information to make a definitive change.
-            13. If you are uncertain about a category, use the area/unknown, kind/question, or priority/unknown labels as appropriate. If you are extremely uncertain, apply the status/manual-triage label.

@@ -250,124 +174,10 @@ jobs:
              - Do not add comments or modify the issue content.

-              - Identify exactly ONE area/ label. Do NOT assign multiple area/ labels to a single issue.

-              - Identify exactly ONE priority/ label. Do NOT assign multiple priority/ labels to a single issue.
-              - **Do not manually downgrade the priority.** Always assign the true priority based on the guidelines. The system will handle downgrades programmatically if information is missing.
-              - **NEVER mention label names, label removals, or label additions in your `explanation`.** The explanation must be purely written for the user (e.g., "Please provide your CLI version.") without exposing internal triage mechanics (e.g., do NOT say "Removing area/unknown to leave only area/core").
-
-            Categorization Guidelines (Priority):
-            P0 - Urgent Blocking Issues:
-              - DO NOT APPLY THE priority/p0 LABEL AUTOMATICALLY. Instead apply priority/p1 and status/manual-triage.
-              - Definition: Critical failures breaking core functionality for a large portion of users. Examples: CLI fails to launch globally, core commands (gemini run) crash on valid input, unhandled promise rejections on boot, critical security vulnerability.
-              - Note: You must apply priority/p1 and status/manual-triage instead of priority/p0.
-            P1 - Critical but Workable:
-              - Definition: Severe issues without a reasonable workaround, significantly degrading the developer experience but not globally blocking. Examples: Specific tools failing consistently (e.g., `web_search` returns 500s), persistent PTY streaming hangs, memory leaks leading to OOM after short use.
-            P2 - Significant Issues:
-              - Definition: Affect some workflows but a clear workaround exists, or non-critical bugs. Examples: Theme flickering, confusing error messages, minor UI misalignment, failing to read deeply nested config files correctly.
-            P3 - Minor/Enhancements:
-              - Definition: Trivial bugs, typos, documentation requests, or feature requests.
-
-            Categorization Guidelines (Kind):
-            kind/bug: The issue is describing an unexpected behavior or failure in the application.
-            kind/enhancement: The issue is describing a feature request or an improvement to an existing feature.
-            kind/question: The issue is asking a question about how to use the CLI or about a specific feature.
-
-            Categorization Guidelines (Area):
-            area/agent: The "brain" of the CLI. Core agent logic, model quality, tool/function calling, memory, web search, generated code quality, sub-agents.
-            area/core: The fundamental CLI app. UI/UX, installation, OS compatibility, performance, command parsing, theming, flickering.
-            area/documentation: Website docs, READMEs, inline help text.
-            area/enterprise: Telemetry, Policy, Quota / Licensing
-            area/extensions: Gemini CLI extensions capability
-            area/non-interactive: GitHub Actions, SDK, 3P Integrations, Shell Scripting, Command line automation
-            area/platform: Platform specific behavior
-            area/security: Authentication, authorization, privacy, data leaks, credential storage.

-            ## Role
-
-            You are an expert software architect. Analyze the provided GitHub issues and assign the correct `effort/*` label based on the codebase complexity.
-
-            ## Steps
-
-            1. Use the read_file tool to read "effort_issues_to_triage.json".
-            2. For each issue in the array:
-               - You must evaluate the architectural complexity to determine the effort level. You MUST NOT guess the root cause. You MUST actively use your codebase search tools (grep_search and glob) to search for keywords from the issue and explore the codebase. You must identify the specific files and components involved before deciding the effort.
-            3. Output a JSON array of objects, each containing the issue number and the effort label to add, along with an explanation and an effort_analysis field. This effort_analysis must be highly detailed, technical, and empirical. It MUST NOT contain vague guesses (e.g., avoid words like "likely points to" or "possibly"). You must explicitly cite the specific file paths and architectural mechanisms you discovered using your search tools, explain the root cause, and then explicitly state how that complexity maps to the chosen effort level guidelines. For example:
-               ```
-               [
-                 {
-                   "issue_number": 123,
-                   "labels_to_add": ["effort/small"],
-                   "explanation": "This is a simple logic fix.",
-                   "effort_analysis": "The `vscode-ide-companion` extension indiscriminately tracks active text editors via `vscode.window.onDidChangeActiveTextEditor` in `open-files-manager.ts`. When a user opens `.vscode/settings.json`, its content is sent to the CLI's context. The fix is highly localized to the VS Code companion extension's event listener. It involves adding a simple conditional check to exclude specific configuration files from the active editor tracking logic, which is a trivial logic adjustment with a clear root cause."
-                 }
-               ]
-               ```
-
-            ## Guidelines
-
-            - Output only valid JSON format
-            - Do not include any explanation or additional text, just the JSON
-            - Triage only the current issue.
-
-            Categorization Guidelines (Effort):
-            effort/small (1 day or less):
-              - Trivial Logic & Config: Schema updates (Zod), feature flag toggles, adding missing fields to package.json or settings.json.
-              - UI/Aesthetic Adjustments: Fixing minor layout bugs in Ink components (e.g., adding flexShrink, correcting padding in a single Box), text color changes.
-              - Documentation & Strings: Typos, log message updates, CLI argument descriptions.
-              - Localized Bug Fixes: Single-file logic errors, straightforward promise rejections (e.g., wrapping a known failure in a try/catch), simple regex or string parsing fixes.
-            effort/medium (2-3 days):
-              - React/Ink State Management: Debugging useState/useEffect/useReducer bugs, component lifecycle issues (memory leaks in the UI), terminal redraw flickering, or state synchronization between the CLI's internal input buffer and the interactive React components.
-              - Asynchronous Flow & Integration: Resolving complex Promise chains, ERR_STREAM_PREMATURE_CLOSE, debugging IDE companion extensions (VS Code, Android Studio) or resolving hanging HTTP requests/IPC between the CLI and external plugins, timeouts in non-interactive/ACP modes.
-              - Tooling & Output Parsers: Modifying how tools parse streaming stdout/stderr buffers, adding new built-in tools that don't require native bindings.
-              - Cross-Component Refactors: Changes that span across packages/cli and packages/core to pass new data models or telemetry state.
-            effort/large (3+ days):
-              - Platform-Specific Complexities (PTY/Signals): Any issue involving node-pty, child_process.spawn, OS-level shell behavior (Windows vs Linux vs macOS), pseudo-terminal exhaustion (ENXIO), raw mode terminal desyncs, or POSIX signal forwarding (SIGINT/SIGTERM).
-              - Core Architecture & Protocols: Refactoring the Scheduler, Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol implementation, low-level MCP (Model Context Protocol) transport mechanisms.
-              - Performance & Memory: Diagnosing massive disk/memory leaks, severe boot time regressions, high-throughput streaming optimizations (e.g., voice streaming pipelines).
-            Note: Any bug that is described as intermittent, flickering, difficult to reproduce, platform-specific, or requiring cross-environment setups (e.g., involving the VS Code IDE companion, GCA plugin, or Android Studio) MUST NOT be rated as effort/small because of the increased overhead of testing and reproducing.
+              - Identify only one priority/ label.
+              - Once you categorize the issue if it needs information bump down the priority by 1 eg.. a p0 would become a p1 a p1 would become a p2. P2 and P3 can stay as is in this scenario.

For this reason, we strongly recommend that contributors only submit pull requests against issues explicitly labeled as **'help-wanted'**. \n\nThis pull request is being closed as it has been open for 14 days without a 'help wanted' designation. We encourage you to find and contribute to existing 'help wanted' issues in our backlog! Thank you for your understanding and for being part of our community!"

 ## Highlights

- **Surgical Code Edits:** Gemini models are now steered to prefer the `edit`
-  tool for surgical modifications, leading to faster and more precise code
-  updates.
- **Session Portability:** Introduced features to export active sessions to
-  files and import them later via a CLI flag, allowing for easier session
-  sharing and resumption.
- **Adaptive Token Estimation:** A new adaptive token calculator provides more
-  accurate content size measurements, optimizing context window usage and
-  reducing API overhead.
- **Improved UI Rendering:** Core tools now utilize native `ToolDisplay`
-  properties, fixing various UI rendering issues and improving the experience in
-  ACP-compliant IDEs.
- **Enhanced Agent Architecture:** Introduced `LocalSubagentProtocol` and
-  `RemoteSubagentProtocol` behind a unified `AgentProtocol`, laying the
-  groundwork for more complex multi-agent interactions.
+- **Offline Search Support:** Bundled ripgrep binaries into the Single
+  Executable Application (SEA) to enable powerful codebase searching even in
+  environments without internet access.
+- **Enhanced Theme Customization:** Introduced GitHub-style colorblind-friendly
+  themes to improve accessibility and provide more personalized visual options.
+- **MCP Resource Management:** Added new tools for listing and reading Model
+  Context Protocol (MCP) resources, enhancing the agent's ability to discover
+  and utilize external data.
+- **Improved Narrative Flow:** Enabled topic update narrations by default to
+  provide better session structure and a clearer understanding of the agent's
+  current focus.
+- **Streamlined Local Model Setup:** Introduced a simplified `gemini gemma`
+  command for quickly setting up and running Gemma models locally.
+- **Prompt-Driven Memory Management:** Replaced the legacy `MemoryManagerAgent`
+  with a more efficient prompt-driven memory editing system across four tiers of
+  context.

 ## Overview

 Every session you run with Gemini CLI is recorded locally as a transcript. Auto
-Memory scans those transcripts for durable facts, preferences, workflow
-constraints, and procedural patterns that recur across sessions. It can draft
-memory updates as unified diff `.patch` files and draft reusable procedures as
-`SKILL.md` files. All candidates are held in a project-local inbox until you
-approve or discard them.
+Memory scans those transcripts for procedural patterns that recur across
+sessions, then drafts each pattern as a `SKILL.md` file in a project-local
+inbox. You inspect the draft, decide whether it captures real expertise, and
+promote it to your global or workspace skills directory if you want it.

 You'll use Auto Memory when you want to:

 - **Capture team workflows** that you find yourself walking the agent through
  more than once.
- **Preserve durable project context** such as repeated verification commands,
-  local constraints, or personal project notes.
 - **Codify hard-won fixes** for project-specific landmines so future sessions
  avoid them.
 - **Bootstrap a skills library** without writing every `SKILL.md` by hand.

-Auto Memory complements direct memory-file editing. The agent can still persist
-explicit user instructions by editing the appropriate Markdown memory file; Auto
-Memory infers candidates from past sessions, writes reviewable patches or skill
-drafts, and never applies them without your approval.
+Auto Memory complements—but does not replace—the
+[`save_memory` tool](../tools/memory.md), which captures single facts into
+`GEMINI.md`. Auto Memory captures multi-step procedures into skills.

 ## Prerequisites

 - Gemini CLI installed and authenticated.
- At least one idle project session with 10 or more user messages. Auto Memory
-  ignores active, trivial, and sub-agent sessions.

    coordinates across multiple CLI instances so extraction runs at most once at

-
-## How updates work
-
-Gemini CLI automatically checks for extension updates based on the installation
-method. Understanding these mechanisms helps you ensure your users always have
-the latest version.
-
-### Sync manifest and tags
-
-For GitHub releases, always ensure the `version` in `gemini-extension.json`
-matches your GitHub release tag. While the CLI uses tags for update detection,
-it displays the manifest version in the UI. Keeping them in sync prevents
-confusion.
-
-### Update mechanisms
-
-<details>
-<summary>Technical update details</summary>
-
-The CLI uses different strategies depending on the installation type:
-
- **GitHub releases:** The CLI queries the GitHub API for the latest release
-  tag. It ignores the `version` field in the manifest for detection.
- **Git clones:** The CLI runs `git ls-remote` to compare the latest remote
-  commit hash with your local `HEAD`.
- **Local extensions:** The CLI compares the `version` field in the source
-  directory's manifest with the installed version.
-
-To verify an extension's installation type, inspect the `type` field in the
-metadata file at `~/.gemini/extensions/<name>/.gemini-extension-install.json`.

-# Memory files
+# Memory tool (`save_memory`)

-Gemini CLI persists durable facts, user preferences, and project details by
-editing Markdown memory files directly.
+The `save_memory` tool allows the Gemini agent to persist specific facts, user
+preferences, and project details across sessions.

 ## Technical reference

-The agent routes memories to the appropriate Markdown file: shared project
-instructions go in repository `GEMINI.md` files, private project notes go in the
-per-project private memory folder, and cross-project personal preferences go in
-the global `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md` file.
+This tool appends information to the `## Gemini Added Memories` section of your
+global `GEMINI.md` file (typically located at `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md`).
+
+### Arguments
+
+- `fact` (string, required): A clear, self-contained statement in natural
+  language.

 ## Technical behavior

- **Storage:** Edits Markdown files with `write_file` or `replace`.
+- **Storage:** Appends to the global context file in the user's home directory.
 - **Loading:** The stored facts are automatically included in the hierarchical
  context system for all future sessions.
- **Format:** Keeps durable instructions concise and avoids duplicating the same
-  fact across multiple memory tiers.
+- **Format:** Saves data as a bulleted list item within a dedicated Markdown
+  section.

-Does the EVIDENCE explicitly contain all three of the following facts:
-1. The specific file path "src/compiler/server.ts"
-2. The specific error code "COMPILE_ERR_404"
-3. The user's active constraint/directive to "do not fix it just yet" (or equivalent warning that implementation is paused)
-
-Answer ONLY with "YES" if all three are unambiguously present.
-Answer "NO" if any of the three are missing, abstracted away, or generalized (e.g., if it says "found an error" instead of "COMPILE_ERR_404").`;
