Cap Gemini CLI below 0.45 and prefer newest model version#149
Merged
Conversation
Gemini CLI 0.45 introduced a "Gemini 3.5 Flash GA" router that rewrites any forced flash model id (e.g. databricks-gemini-3-5-flash) to Google's canonical gemini-3.5-flash, which the Databricks AI Gateway rejects as an invalid Unity Catalog endpoint name. 0.44.x passes the configured model through verbatim and works. - Cap the supported Gemini version below 0.45 and check it on every launch (a too-new build runs but misbehaves, so it's a correctness blocker). - Warn and offer a y/n downgrade to the latest working release rather than forcing it; honor --skip-upgrade by warning without prompting. - Steer update prompts toward the newest version below the broken ceiling instead of npm's `latest` tag, which points at the broken line. Adds published_versions() and latest_version_below() helpers. - Order discovered Gemini models newest-version-first so default_model() launches gemini-3.5-flash rather than gemini-2.5-flash. Codex and the generic discovery path keep their alphabetical default. - Re-enable the e2e Gemini launch test with a version-aware skip. Co-authored-by: Isaac
