Upgrade Gemini CLI to v0.56.0-preview.1 to end false capacity exhaustion

Move to Gemini CLI v0.56.0-preview.1 so false capacity-exhaustion failures stop, real capacity exhaustion is terminal, MCP OAuth refreshes with the stored client ID, and the new local eval report path is available.

Why this loop

v0.56.0-preview.1 includes fix(core,cli) that stops false model capacity exhaustion and corrects core quota-lookup model mapping, plus reclassifying real capacity exhaustion as a terminal error. Staying on 0.54.x or 0.55.0-preview.1 leaves agents retrying phantom quota failures or continuing after a true capacity stop. The same tag’s fix(core) refreshes MCP OAuth tokens with the stored client ID, which prevents refresh failures from a mismatched client id. feat(evals) adds a local report command and developer documentation so eval reports can be generated without a remote runner.

Proposed actions

  1. Upgrade the CLI pin to exactly this tag: npm install -g @google/gemini-cli@0.56.0-preview.1 && gemini --version — fail the change if the printed version is not 0.56.0-preview.1.
  2. In package.json, lockfiles, CI install steps, and devcontainer/Docker images, replace every @google/gemini-cli version below 0.56.0-preview.1 (including 0.54.x and 0.55.0-preview.1) with @google/gemini-cli@0.56.0-preview.1.
  3. In agent retry wrappers and runbooks, treat remaining capacity-exhaustion errors as terminal after this upgrade: delete backoff/retry on that signal; only the false-positive quota-lookup mapping was fixed.
  4. After the upgrade, reconnect every MCP server whose OAuth tokens were issued by the previous CLI so refresh uses the stored client ID from fix(core), then confirm a tool call succeeds without a client-id mismatch on refresh.
  5. Switch eval workflows to the local report command added in feat(evals) in v0.56.0-preview.1; generate the report locally using this release’s developer documentation and keep the artifact next to the eval fixtures.
