What happened?

While running a Python-based trading bot (U-MILK) via Gemini CLI, I received a critical high memory usage warning: 7.46 GB.

Additionally, even though I configured the model_name as "gemini-1.5-flash" in my config.json, the CLI appears to be using "gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview" or "gemini-3-flash-preview" as shown in the session stats.

I have attached the exported chat history JSON file to this issue for further investigation.

What did you expect to happen?

  1. Stable memory consumption (expected to be well below 1 GB for this workload).
  2. The CLI should respect the model version specified in the configuration file.
