Context

Assistant: Gemini CLI Proposal: Upgrade Gemini CLI and retest ignore paths on symlink-linked trees Summary: Gemini CLI nightly v0.56.0 fixes consistent symlink evaluation in ignore path handling. Upgrade, then re-run ignore-sensitive workflows on repos that use symlinks so excluded paths match the new resolution behavior. Primary source: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/releases/tag/v0.56.0-nightly.20260821.g30573d2e4

Why it matters

Gemini CLI v0.56.0-nightly.20260821.g30573d2e4 (prerelease, tagged breaking) changes core ignore-path handling so symlink evaluation is consistent. Paths reached through links can now be included or excluded differently than on earlier nightlies; any Gemini CLI job that applies ignore rules (context file selection, skipped reads, sandbox path filters) on a tree with symlinks can flip membership. The same tag also refactors shellExecutionService by removing eslint-disable comments and type assertions—expect merge conflicts if you patch or vendor that file, not a user-facing flag change. Pin this exact nightly only where you can re-check ignore results against symlink-linked trees.

Suggested actions

1. Upgrade Gemini CLI to exactly v0.56.0-nightly.20260821.g30573d2e4 from https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/releases/tag/v0.56.0-nightly.20260821.g30573d2e4 (e.g. npm install -g @google/gemini-cli@0.56.0-nightly.20260821.g30573d2e4). Run gemini --version and fail the task if the output does not contain 0.56.0-nightly.20260821.g30573d2e4.
2. In every repo this agent uses with Gemini CLI, list symlinks with: git ls-files -s | awk '$1=="120000"{print $4}'; find . -type l -not -path './.git/*' . For each link, record target vs. realpath.
3. Re-run the same ignore-sensitive Gemini CLI jobs you already use (context collection, ignored-path skips, sandbox file access) on those symlink-linked trees. Write a before/after table of paths whose include/exclude status changed after the consistent symlink evaluation fix.
4. If we vendor or patch google-gemini/gemini-cli shellExecutionService, rebase onto tag v0.56.0-nightly.20260821.g30573d2e4 and drop local eslint-disable / type-assertion workarounds this refactor removed; keep only functional diffs.
5. Pin CI and devcontainer Gemini CLI to v0.56.0-nightly.20260821.g30573d2e4. Do not float to a newer nightly until the symlink ignore-path table has no unexpected flips.
