gemini-cli - 💡(How to fix) Fix ENOTDIR Unhandled Promise Rejection when parsing multi-line prompt

What happened?

The CLI crashed with a critical "Unhandled Promise Rejection" when I entered a multi-line prompt. It appears the CLI is attempting to treat the prompt text itself as a file path during a permission check or path resolution step.

Error Details:

• Error: ENOTDIR: not a directory, lstat
• Faulty Path: (The CLI tried to lstat a string starting with `/workspaces/.../stripe/stripe-js" followed by the rest of my prompt text).
• Stack Trace Highlights: The error occurs in robustRealpath -> resolveToRealPath -> checkPermissions.

Steps to Reproduce: Paste a long, multi-line instruction into the chat (specifically one that might contain paths or quotes) and the CLI may attempt to validate it as a file path before processing the message.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the cli to carry eth out as was directed on the prompt
