Beschreibung

This issue report describes two major UX problems on Android/Termux.

  1. Relauncher Loop (Duplicate Logos and Auth prompts): When Termux is moved to the background, Android often kills the high-resource child process. The parent monitoring process then restarts a new child, leading to duplicate ASCII logos and repeated OAuth login prompts.

  2. UI Remounting on Resize: Virtual keyboard toggles trigger terminal resizes. The current React key mapping forces a full remount, which clutters terminal history with new Headers.

Proposed Fixes (Tested):

  • In packages/cli/src/utils/relaunch.ts: Disable relauncher if os.platform() is 'android'.
  • In packages/cli/src/gemini.tsx: Use a stable key for AppContainer on 'android' to prevent full remounts.

Full technical details and patch were verified in a local Termux environment. Improving stability for mobile CLI users would be a great addition to Gemini CLI.
