[Gemini CLI] ACP: run_shell_command output is dropped (empty tool_call_update content) when the shell returns AnsiOutput

Sun, 25 Oct 2026 12:29:04 +0000

In ACP mode, a runshellcommand call that prints output ends with a toolcallupdate whose content is empty, so an ACP client never sees the command's output. toToolCallContent in packages/cli/src/acp/acpUtils.ts forwards returnDisplay when…

[Gemini CLI] Headless mode prints [object Object] instead of the API error (looks like #13553 again)

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 11:08:03 +0000

When an API call fails in headless mode, the last line I get is: The actual error (in my case a Vertex ModelNotFoundError: Publisher model ... was not found) doesn't make it to that line. This looks like the same thing as #13553, which was…

Workaround (quoted from issue body): `export GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=true GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT= GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION=us-central1` 2.

[Gemini CLI] Make the 60 s API headers timeout configurable (long-thinking requests are dropped and replayed)

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 09:55:09 +0000

A setting (or environment variable) for the API request headers timeout, honoured with every auth type, including Vertex AI. For example model.requestTimeoutMs in settings.json, or GEMINIAPIHEADERSTIMEOUTMS. Since #26191 the global undici…

Workaround (quoted from issue body): Our workaround is to preload a module (`NODE_OPTIONS=--import`) that re-creates the global `Agent` with a longer `headersTimeout` when the CLI installs it.

[Gemini CLI] Rootless podman sandbox hit EACCES because --userns=keep-id is not set

Workaround (quoted from issue body): This is closely related to `https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/15376` where `--userns=keep-id` was suggested as a workaround. the workaround does fixes the underlying UID mapping problem, but requiring users to manually add a podman specific flag feels like something the CLI could…
