Root Cause

Similar byte-formatting logic currently exists in both the CLI and core formatter utilities. Because the implementations are maintained separately, formatting behavior can drift over time, leading to inconsistent output formatting across different parts of the application.

Code Example

What happened?

Similar byte-formatting logic currently exists in both the CLI and core formatter utilities. Because the implementations are maintained separately, formatting behavior can drift over time, leading to inconsistent output formatting across different parts of the application.

What did you expect to happen?

Byte formatting behavior should remain consistent across both the CLI and core utilities through a shared formatting contract, shared implementation, or parity-tested behavior to prevent output drift and UX inconsistencies.

Client information

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

Anything else we need to know?

This issue is primarily focused on long-term maintainability and consistency rather than a currently visible breaking bug. Consolidating or formally defining formatter behavior would help reduce future drift between core and CLI output formatting while preserving existing snapshots and user-facing behavior.
