TL;DR

The issue is likely related to a crash in the CLI version 0.40.1, and attaching the exported chat history JSON file may help diagnose the problem.

Guidance

  • The crash may be specific to the combination of CLI version 0.40.1, Git commit 7a382e066, and model version auto-gemini-3, so checking for similar issues with these versions could be helpful.
  • Attaching the exported chat history JSON file as requested could provide valuable information for debugging the crash.
  • Verifying that the issue persists across different terminal environments (e.g., changing the terminal name or background) might help isolate the cause.
  • If the issue is reproducible, trying a different auth type (e.g., switching from oauth-personal to another type if available) could provide insight into whether the crash is authentication-related.

Notes

The provided information lacks specific details about the crash, such as error messages or the actions leading up to the crash, which would be necessary for a more targeted diagnosis.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the issue lacks enough information for a direct fix, the best course of action is to follow the guidance provided and await further instructions or updates based on the information gathered.
