Summary

The Gemini CLI has changed its behavior - positional arguments now default to interactive mode, causing pdd bug and other agentic commands to hang when calling the gemini CLI.

Root Cause

In pdd/agentic_common.py, the _run_with_provider function was passing the prompt as a positional argument:

cmd = [
    cli_path,
    f"Read the file {prompt_path.name} for your full instructions and execute them.",
    "--yolo",
    "--output-format", "json"
]

The Gemini CLI now shows this message:

ℹ Positional arguments now default to interactive mode. To run in non-interactive mode, use the --prompt (-p) flag.

Fix

Add the -p flag to force non-interactive mode:

cmd = [
    cli_path,
    "-p", f"Read the file {prompt_path.name} for your full instructions and execute them.",
    "--yolo",
    "--output-format", "json"
]

Affected Version

• Gemini CLI version: 0.27.0
• pdd-cli version: 0.0.138

Impact

All agentic commands (pdd bug, pdd change, pdd fix <url>, etc.) fail to use the Google provider because the gemini CLI hangs waiting for interactive input.
