TL;DR

Displaying the hostname in the Gemini CLI interface is likely to resolve the issue of confusing multiple SSH sessions.

Guidance

• Modify the CLI interface to include the machine's hostname, potentially in the header, prompt, or a dedicated status line.
• Verify the change by running multiple Gemini CLI instances over SSH on different hosts and confirming that each session displays its respective hostname.
• Consider using a consistent format for displaying the hostname, such as Gemini CLI (hostname), to ensure clarity and readability.
• Test the solution with various hostname lengths and special characters to ensure proper handling and display.

Example

# Example of how the hostname could be displayed in the CLI prompt
import socket
hostname = socket.gethostname()
print(f"Gemini CLI ({hostname})")

Notes

The proposed solution assumes that the Gemini CLI has the capability to access and display the machine's hostname. If this is not the case, additional modifications may be necessary.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround of displaying the hostname in the CLI interface, as it provides a clear and immediate visual indication of the current environment, reducing confusion between multiple sessions.
