✨ UI & Navigation
Enjoy the new Tokyo Night theme and smoother navigation with accelerated scrolling.
The footer now shows clear Authentication status, and you can use 'Tab' to queue messages immediately—even while the model is still generating a response.
🛡️ Security & Sandboxing - Sandbox mode now supports
- 'forbiddenPaths' to respect your .gitignore and keep the model out of restricted areas.
- Strict visibility lockdown for secret files (env variables etc) rendering API Keys etc. inaccessible to tools.

You can now delegate repetitive tasks to specialized expert agents! Subagents run in their own context windows, keeping your main session fast and token-efficient.
Try the new @cli_help agent to fix config errors or learn about features like Git Worktree support.
We are aware of the issues facing users who are seeing unacceptable delays before the model responds and at Gemini CLI errprs. We apologize for this, unfortunately we don’t yet have a fix. We are actively working on improving the situation and will update folks here once we make progress.
