Changes:
- Ensure proper shutdown in non-interactive mode
- Ensures the initial user prompt is logged in non-interactive mode
- Improve telemetry for streaming - handle chunks and input token count is now alongside other token counts in response
To test:
- Follow instructions in https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/core/telemetry.md#google-cloud
- Run CLI in non-interactive mode and observe logs/metrics in GCP Logs Explorer and Metrics Explorer

# Add .gitignore-Aware File Filtering to gemini-cli
This pull request introduces .gitignore-based file filtering to the gemini-cli, ensuring that git-ignored files are automatically excluded from file-related operations and suggestions throughout the CLI. The update enhances usability, reduces noise from build artifacts and dependencies, and provides new configuration options for fine-tuning file discovery.
Key Improvements
.gitignore File Filtering
All @ (at) commands, file completions, and core discovery tools now honor .gitignore patterns by default.
Git-ignored files (such as node_modules/, dist/, .env, and .git) are excluded from results unless explicitly overridden.
The behavior can be customized via a new fileFiltering section in settings.json, including options for:
Turning .gitignore respect on/off.
Adding custom ignore patterns.
Allowing or excluding build artifacts.
Configuration & Documentation Updates
settings.json schema extended with fileFiltering options.
Documentation updated to explain new filtering controls and usage patterns.
Testing
New and updated integration/unit tests for file filtering logic, configuration merging, and edge cases.
Test coverage ensures .gitignore filtering works as intended across different workflows.
Internal Refactoring
Core file discovery logic refactored for maintainability and extensibility.
Underlying tools (ls, glob, read-many-files) now support git-aware filtering out of the box.

This change introduces a small delay after the first Ctrl+C press, prompting the user to press Ctrl+C again to exit. This helps prevent accidental termination of the application.
- Added `exitOnCtrlC={false}` to the Ink render options in `gemini.tsx` to enable custom Ctrl+C handling.
- Implemented logic in `App.tsx` to:
- Display "Press Ctrl+C again to exit." for 2 seconds after the first Ctrl+C.
- Exit the application if Ctrl+C is pressed again during this period.
- Revert to normal operation if the second Ctrl+C is not pressed within the timeout.
- Defined a constant `CTRL_C_PROMPT_DURATION_MS` for the timeout duration.
- Implements cancellation for Gemini requests while they are actively being processed by the model.
- Extends cancellation support to the logic within tools. This allows users to cancel operations during the phase where the system is determining if a tool execution requires user confirmation, which can include potentially long-running pre-flight checks or LLM-based corrections.
- Underlying LLM calls for edit corrections (within and ) and next speaker checks can now also be cancelled.
- Previously, cancellation of the main request was not possible until text started streaming, and pre-execution checks were not cancellable.
- This change leverages the updated SDK's ability to accept an abort token and threads s throughout the request, tool execution, and pre-execution check lifecycle.
