This commit addresses several code review comments primarily focused on improving the rendering and stability of the CLI UI.
Key changes include:
- Passing `isPending` and `availableTerminalHeight` props to `MarkdownDisplay` to enable more intelligent rendering of content, especially for pending messages and code blocks.
- Adjusting height calculations in `ToolGroupMessage` and `ToolMessage` to more accurately reflect available space.
- Refining the logic in `App.tsx` for measuring and utilizing terminal height, including renaming `footerRef` to `mainControlsRef` for clarity.
- Ensuring consistent prop drilling for `isPending` and `availableTerminalHeight` through `HistoryItemDisplay`, `GeminiMessage`, and `GeminiMessageContent`.
- In `MarkdownDisplay`, when `isPending` is true and content exceeds `availableTerminalHeight`, the code block will now be truncated with a "... generating more ..." message. If there's insufficient space even for the
message, a simpler "... code is being written ..." will be shown.
This commit introduces several changes to better manage terminal height and prevent UI tearing, especially when displaying long tool outputs or when the pending history item exceeds the available terminal height.
- Calculate and utilize available terminal height in `App.tsx`, `HistoryItemDisplay.tsx`, `ToolGroupMessage.tsx`, and `ToolMessage.tsx`.
- Refresh the static display area in `App.tsx` when a pending history item is too large, working around an Ink bug (see https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink/pull/717).
- Truncate long tool output in `ToolMessage.tsx` and indicate the number of hidden lines.
- Refactor `App.tsx` to correctly measure and account for footer height.

- Refactors history display using Ink's <Static> component to prevent flickering and improve performance by rendering completed items statically.
- Introduces ConsolePatcher component to capture and display console.log, console.warn, and console.error output within the Ink UI, addressing native handling issues.
- Introduce a new content splitting mechanism to work better for static items. Basically when content gets too long we will now split content into multiple blocks for Gemini messages to ensure that we can statically cache larger pieces of history.

- https://b.corp.google.com/issues/412716309
- Bring tool messages in line with original envisioned UI of: https://screenshot.googleplex.com/9yZCX636LzpMrgc
- In particular this represents more descriptive names. FWIW we already had this tech we just weren't passing around information correctly (`displayName` vs. `name`)
- Add gray to our list of color pallete's and removed Background (unused)
- Re-enabled representing canceled messages
- Migrated back towards a cleaner tool message design of status symbols & border colors vs. overly verbose text.
- Removed border from confirmation diffs.

- This utilizes `ink-gradient` to render GEMINI CODE in amazing colors.
- Added a shared color configuration for UX (should this be in config?). It's very possible that we shouldn't be talking about the specific colors and instead be mentioning "foreground"/"background"/inlineCode etc. type colors.
- Updated existing color usages to utilize `Colors.*`

This commit introduces the initial codebase for the Gemini Code CLI, a command-line interface designed to facilitate interaction with the Gemini API for software engineering tasks.
The code was migrated from a previous git repository as a single squashed commit.
Core Features & Components:
* **Gemini Integration:** Leverages the `@google/genai` SDK to interact with the Gemini models, supporting chat history, streaming responses, and function calling (tools).
* **Terminal UI:** Built with Ink (React for CLIs) providing an interactive chat interface within the terminal, including input prompts, message display, loading indicators, and tool interaction elements.
* **Tooling Framework:** Implements a robust tool system allowing Gemini to interact with the local environment. Includes tools for:
* File system listing (`ls`)
* File reading (`read-file`)
* Content searching (`grep`)
* File globbing (`glob`)
* File editing (`edit`)
* File writing (`write-file`)
* Executing bash commands (`terminal`)
* **State Management:** Handles the streaming state of Gemini responses and manages the conversation history.
* **Configuration:** Parses command-line arguments (`yargs`) and loads environment variables (`dotenv`) for setup.
* **Project Structure:** Organized into `core`, `ui`, `tools`, `config`, and `utils` directories using TypeScript. Includes basic build (`tsc`) and start scripts.
This initial version establishes the foundation for a powerful CLI tool enabling developers to use Gemini for coding assistance directly in their terminal environment.
