gemini-cli - 💡(How to fix) Fix bug(cli): Regression in latest update causes complete session loss and folder wipes on system reboot

What happened?

Bug Description

After updating to the latest version of Gemini CLI, all session files and manual checkpoints completely vanish after restarting a Linux machine. Furthermore, files inside the targeted conversation directory disappear or are overwritten unexpectedly. This behavior was not present in older versions.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Update to the latest version (npm install -g @google/gemini-cli@latest).
2. Open a session and save it manually using /resume save test-session.
3. Verify the session exists using gemini --list-sessions (it shows up fine).
4. Reboot the Linux system.
5. Re-open the terminal, navigate to the exact same directory, and run gemini --list-sessions.
6. Observe that the session list is completely empty, and some local files in the active folder are wiped/overwritten.

Environment & Versions

• OS: Linux [alma linux 10.1]
• Gemini CLI Version: [latest]
• Regression Check: This issue only started occurring immediately after the latest CLI update.

What did you expect to happen?

Expected Behavior

Sessions and workspace project files should persist across machine reboots, exactly as they did in previous versions of the CLI.

Client information

Actual Behavior

Every single machine reboot completely purges the new session logs, and workspace directory files are being corrupted or deleted.
