Research direction
This is a very old issue about mixed GIF and base64 output in iTerm2 while running gifi. No reproduction steps are provided, and the issue has been stale since 2016. To investigate, first confirm the bug still exists with the latest versions of gifi and Node.js. The issue may be related to how gifi renders GIF images in the terminal; check the rendering logic in the gifi source code (likely using ImageMagick or similar). Also verify if the problem is specific to iTerm2 versions. Look at the existing comments for any clues, and ask the reporter for more details about their environment.
