October 2025: Focused on stabilizing the Gemini CLI UI for narrow terminals. Reverted previous changes that reduced margins on narrow screens, restoring prior layout behavior and simplifying footer path display logic. Removed dynamic width calculations for container elements, mitigating layout breaks and improving consistency across terminal widths. These changes deliver a more reliable, predictable CLI UX, reduce support inquiries related to layout, and improve maintainability by eliminating brittle width logic.
