### Telemetry Settings
Refactors telemetry configuration to use a nested `telemetry` object in `settings.json`, for example:
```json
{
"telemetry": {
"enabled": true,
"target": "gcp"
"log-prompts": "true"
},
"sandbox": false
}
```
The above includes
- Centralized telemetry settings under a `telemetry` object in `settings.json`.
- CLI flags for the `gemini` command to override all telemetry sub-settings:
- `--telemetry` / `--no-telemetry`
- `--telemetry-target <local|gcp>`
- `--telemetry-otlp-endpoint <URL>`
- `--telemetry-log-prompts` / `--no-telemetry-log-prompts`
- Updates `packages/cli/src/config/config.ts` and `packages/core/src/config/config.ts` to read from the new settings structure and respect the new CLI flags.
- Modifies `scripts/handle-telemetry.js`, `scripts/local_telemetry.js`, and `scripts/telemetry_utils.js` to align with the new settings structure.
- Updates `docs/core/telemetry.md` to reflect the new settings structure, CLI flags, and order of precedence.
- Renames `logUserPromptsEnabled` to `logPrompts` for brevity.
### `npm run telemetry`
Add a new `npm run telemetry` command that uses `scripts/telemetry.js`, automates the entire process of setting up a local and GCP telemetry pipelines, including configuring the necessary settings in the `.gemini/settings.json` workspace file and installing required binaries (e.g. `otelcol-contrib`).

This change detects the most recent git commit short hash and writes it to the `GIT_COMMIT_INFO` constant in `packages/cli/src/generated/git-commit.sh`, optionally appending the string "(local modifications)" if additional local changes after that commit are detected.
If set, this string is displayed in the `/about` dialog as well as passed into the `/bug` template.

Additionally, this change updates `.gitignore` to ignore the generated files, `scripts/clean.sh` to remove them, and adds a `npm run generate` stage for this and any other generators we need to write.
- Removes the sqlite3 dependency and refactors the logging mechanism to use a JSON file (logs.json) instead of a database.
- This change is a temporary workaround to address issues with macOS sandboxing that were caused by the SQLite native module.
- Storing all logs in a single JSON file may introduce scalability concerns in the future.

- Modify root package.json to allow publishing
- Update "files" to include only essential bundled assets
This change makes it possible to use npx with tagged versions of the
gemini-cli package (e.g., npx https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli@early-access).
It removes "private: true" and refines the "files" array to ensure
that only the necessary bundled assets are included when the package is
fetched by npx, optimizing download size and ensuring correct execution.
This commit modifies the packaging setup to allow the CLI to be
executed directly from its GitHub URL using `npx`, for example:
`npx https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli` (once merged to main).
This is achieved without requiring the bundle to be checked into
the repository.
Key changes and motivations:
- Modify `scripts.prepare` to run `npm run bundle`:
Ensures the CLI bundle is generated automatically when `npx`
installs the package from a git URL. This replaces previous
approaches (e.g., using `prepack`) which were not consistently
triggered in the `npx` environment.
- Update `scripts.bundle` to use a direct path for `esbuild`
and externalize `sqlite3`:
Using `node_modules/.bin/esbuild` provides a more reliable way
to invoke the bundler. Externalizing `sqlite3` is crucial for
correctly handling its native addon, preventing runtime errors.
- Add `bin`, `files`, and root `sqlite3` dependency:
- The `bin` field defines the `gemini` command.
- The `files` array ensures the generated `bundle/` directory is
recognized by npm.
- `sqlite3` is added as a root dependency to ensure it's
installed by `npx` when `gemini-code` is fetched, allowing the
externalized module to be resolved.
These changes collectively ensure that the necessary build artifacts
are created on-the-fly during `npx` installation, providing a
seamless execution experience directly from the GitHub repository URL.
This commit resolves a bug where the `write-file` operation could fail to render content due to a missing filename.
The fix involves:
- Ensuring `fileName` is consistently passed to `DiffRenderer.tsx` through `ToolConfirmationMessage.tsx`, `ToolMessage.tsx`, and `useGeminiStream.ts`.
- Modifying `edit.ts` and `write-file.ts` to include `fileName` in the `FileDiff` object.
- Expanding the `FileDiff` interface in `tools.ts` to include `fileName`.
Additionally, this commit enhances the diff rendering by:
- Adding syntax highlighting based on file extension in `DiffRenderer.tsx`.
- Adding more language mappings to `getLanguageFromExtension` in `DiffRenderer.tsx`.
- Added lots of tests for all the above.
Fixes https://b.corp.google.com/issues/418125982
- This can now be invoked with `npm run bundle`, it creates a `bundle/` folder that has:
- gemini.js
- sandbox-macos-minimal.sb
- sandbox-macos-strict.sb
- shell.json
- shell.md
- This doesn't include any sort of automation for auto bundling pieces. It's just the root capability which we can weave into other locations.
