TL;DR

The issue may be related to the agent's file reading behavior, and attaching the exported chat history JSON file could help diagnose the problem.

Guidance

  • The agent's prolonged file reading could be causing the delay, so investigating the file access patterns might be useful.
  • Attaching the exported chat history JSON file, as requested, may provide valuable insights into the issue.
  • Checking the model version (auto-gemini-3) and its compatibility with the CLI version (0.40.1) might be relevant.
  • Reviewing the memory usage (2.70 GB) and its potential impact on the agent's performance could also be helpful.

Notes

The provided information is limited, and without the exported chat history JSON file or more details about the task and expected behavior, it's challenging to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Attach the exported chat history JSON file to the issue to help diagnose the problem, as this may provide necessary information to identify the root cause.
