Introduces telemetry for file create, read, and update operations.
This change adds the `gemini_cli.file.operation.count` metric, recorded by the `read-file`, `read-many-files`, and `write-file` tools.
The metric includes the following attributes:
- `operation` (string: `create`, `read`, `update`): The type of file operation.
- `lines` (optional, Int): Number of lines in the file.
- `mimetype` (optional, string): Mimetype of the file.
- `extension` (optional, string): File extension of the file.
Here is a stacked bar chart of file operations by extension (`js`, `ts`, `md`):

#750
cc @allenhutchison as discussed
Make several changes to guide the model to request absolute paths,
reducing frequent accidental relative path tool call failures.
- Switch the parameter name: path --> absolute_path.
- Update the tool definition to strongly require an absolute path.
- Update the system prompt to indicate absolute paths are required.
- Update the system prompt tool use examples to use absolute paths.
Test case:
Open GC in GC: "Locate the primary file calling genai"
- Expected: Model opens files with absolute path, successfully.
- Actual (pre-patch): Failure, attempts to read with relative path.
- Actual (post-patch): Success, attempts to read with absolute path.
Address multiple possible memory leaks found bystatic analysis of the codebase. The primary source of the leaks was event listeners on child processes and global objects that were not being properly removed, potentially causing their closures to be retained in memory indefinitely particularly for processes that did not exit.
There are two commits. A larger one made by gemini CLI and a smaller one by me to make sure we always disconnect child processes as part of the cleanup methods. These changes may not actually fix any leaks but do look like reasonable defensive coding to avoid leaking event listeners or child processes.
The following files were fixed:
This is Gemini's somewhat overconfident description of what it did.
packages/core/src/tools/shell.ts: Fixed a leak where an abortSignal listener was not being reliably removed.
packages/cli/src/utils/readStdin.ts: Fixed a significant leak where listeners on process.stdin were never removed.
packages/cli/src/utils/sandbox.ts: Fixed leaks in the imageExists and pullImage helper functions where listeners on spawned child processes were not being removed.
packages/core/src/tools/grep.ts: Fixed three separate leaks in the isCommandAvailable check and the git grep and system grep strategies due to un-removed listeners on child processes.
packages/core/src/tools/tool-registry.ts: Corrected a leak in the execute method of the DiscoveredTool class where listeners on the spawned tool process were not being removed.
