Known breaks in Gemini CLI from github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli, with quoted workarounds and fixed-in versions where they exist.
Type the version you're about to install (or just upgraded to). Lists tracked issues that mention it. Same data as /api/issues/gemini-cli.json.
Pulled from public GitHub issues updated in the last 45 days and filtered for always-on problems: install and update breakage, crashes and hangs, gateway/daemon trouble, auth, and headless setups. Ranked by engagement, weighted toward always-on, self-hosting, install/update, crash, auth, MCP and daemon problems (cosmetic desktop-UI issues are down-weighted). Workarounds and "fixed in" versions are quoted only when the issue or its top comments state them. Severity is an automatic estimate from labels, keywords, and engagement, not an official rating.

Hey! Whenever gemini-cli defers to the generalist agent it hangs forever. Simple changes like folder creation hang. I've let it wait for up to an hour before cancelling it. Instructing the model not to defer to sub agents resolves this…

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…

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…

I'm running Gemini CLI locally on arch linux with the podman sandbox enabled: GEMINISANDBOX=podman When i run npm start, the CLI gets to the point where it rebuilds one of the native dependencies inside the sandbox, but the rebuild fails…
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…

What happened? The Gemini CLI is consistently throwing a Tool execution denied by policy error. This is a generalized blockade affecting all tool invocations, but it severely impacts fundamental I/O operations (file reading, file writing…

Since v0.60.0, running Gemini CLI with sandboxing asks for authentication every time. The OAuth tokens are not saved persistently. What is worse, all sessions are lost: it is not possible to resume previous sessions, and new sessions are…
An ACP client starts a session and supplies its own MCP server in session/new's mcpServers (ours serves a shared task board to each agent). Every first call of every tool on that server then stops on a session/requestpermission, once per…
During an interactive video localization and YouTube packaging workflow, the agent (Gemini 3.8 Flash) exhibited complete breakdown of agentic initiative, active instruction non-compliance, and degenerative conversational behavior. Passive…
agy -p "Hi" hangs indefinitely (5+ minutes, no response, no error, no timeout message) on all inference calls in print mode. The CLI starts, accepts the prompt, then never returns. This happens on the latest version (1.2.2) and was…

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…
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 0.62.0 on macOS retains one distinct /dev/ptmx master per completed ordinary shell command in a minimal token-free reproduction. This looks like a recurrence of #15945 after #25079. It exhausts the host PTY limit and prevents…
