What happened?

In one session I put Gemini into plan mode and asked it to do something. In a completely separate session, the session appeared to be taken over by the plan from the other session.

Session A: <img width="779" height="723" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/dc66fa3a-23a7-45e9-b8c7-4c6d56bb393c" />

Session B: <img width="779" height="425" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/29939a00-42d0-4339-8885-c8385baa9a95" />

It may only happen when Gemini is also thinking in the non-planning session.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the sessions to stay isolated from each other.

Run gemini to enter the interactive CLI, then run the /about command.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by ensuring session isolation in the Gemini CLI, potentially by using a sandbox or reviewing the plan mode implementation.

Guidance

  • Review the Gemini CLI documentation to understand how plan mode is intended to work across separate sessions.
  • Investigate the use of a sandbox to isolate sessions and prevent unintended interactions.
  • Check if there are any known issues or limitations with session isolation in the current version (0.40.0) of the Gemini CLI.
  • Consider testing the behavior in a controlled environment to reproduce and understand the issue better.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not include specific code references.

Notes

The provided information does not include details about the specific commands or actions taken in each session, which could be crucial for diagnosing the issue. Additionally, the lack of login information and other context might limit the ability to fully understand the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use a sandbox to isolate sessions until the root cause can be fully understood and addressed, as this might mitigate the issue by preventing sessions from interacting with each other.
