fix(gemini): keep queued message out of the reply line and quote the approval question by drakeo338 · Pull Request #643 · YoanWai/agent-manager

drakeo338 · 2026-09-29T12:07:49Z

What changed

Gemini's reply line no longer shows a queued follow-up, and during an approval dialog it quotes the dialog's question instead of the prompt echo.

Why

Closes #590

The queued message under the reply was read as the last reply, and the newest > row during a dialog is only the prompt echo. This adds chrome_block and a new optional dialog_question rule for Gemini.

Scope

Required behavior

LastMessage skips the queued block and returns the approval question.

Why this approach

Same chrome_block mechanism as the Codex fix (#618), plus one optional regex field.

How it was verified

Both new tests fail on the merge base and pass here; go test ./internal/status ./internal/config passes. Other checks and a real Gemini session were not run. Only Gemini is changed.

gofmt -l . prints nothing
go vet ./... passes
mkdir -p /tmp/amtest && env -u TMUX TMUX_TMPDIR=/tmp/amtest go test -race ./... passes
go build ./... passes
Ran it against real sessions
Holds for every supported agent CLI, platform (macOS, Linux, WSL2), and terminal including over SSH, or the description names what it leaves out
Every new action works by keyboard and by mouse, and every new setting lives on a Settings row

Visual evidence

Not applicable because: it changes quoted reply text, covered by unit tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Gemini approval dialogs now quote the question nearest the available options, rather than an earlier prompt echoed in the dialog.
- Questions wrapped across multiple rows are combined into a single quoted message, with terminal display width taken into account.
- Questions inside framed dialogs are recognized and quoted correctly.
- Queued follow-up prompts and edit hints are excluded from the quoted reply, including before a reply has started.

…n the reply line A message queued during a turn is drawn under the reply with its edit hint, and the quote read it as part of the reply. Add a chrome_block for its heading, as codex has for its queued follow-up. Gemini's approval dialog replaces the composer, so the newest "> " row is the echo of the prompt that raised it and the dialog sits below the cutoff. The quote read the region above the echo and returned the previous answer. A new dialog_question rule reads the question from the tail instead. Fixes YoanWai#590

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Gemini configuration now defines patterns for queued-message blocks and approval-dialog questions. LastMessage checks for a matching question before its existing extraction logic. Tests cover queued-message exclusion and question quoting, including wrapped questions and terminal-cell width.

Changes

Gemini reply quoting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configure Gemini message patterns `internal/config/config.go`	`Tool` gains the `dialog_question` field. The Gemini configuration adds patterns for queued-message blocks and bordered question rows.
Extract quotes from Gemini panes `internal/status/status.go`	Status handling compiles the configured question pattern and checks for a dialog question before existing message extraction. `askedQuestion` selects the last matching question before the options and joins wrapped rows based on terminal-cell width.
Validate queued-message and dialog quoting `internal/status/status_test.go`	Tests cover queued-message exclusion, approval-question quoting, selection of the nearest question, and wrapped questions, including wide-character width and URL-list rows.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 7f344

The Gemini reply-line changes are ready to merge after normal checks; no outstanding issue was established.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1d8ae

The change affects quoted reply text, not approval permissions or command delivery. Existing callers remain unchanged, and tools without the optional pattern retain their existing extraction behavior. No material security risk was identified in the assessed change.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

inferred — For the traced consumers, terminal-controlled question text reaches the existing local session-row display. The change does not expand that path into command execution, approval authority, or a new outbound destination.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

observed — The display quote remains separate from action eligibility and explicit reply copying. Pending delivery uses independently derived status, while copyReplySelected uses FullTurnText rather than LastMessage.

Explanation

The change has a meaningful visual state: LastMessage feeds the session-list reply quote, rendered behind ↳ in internal/ui/listview.go. The PR description provides no screenshot or recording. Its reason for marking visual evidence not applicable is not valid for this visible text change.

Thanks @drakeo338! I ran this against gemini 0.62.0. The queued message fix works, and the shell approval now shows its question. One thing before I merge. The question regex picks the wrong row in some dialogs, details inline.

… wrapped one

drakeo338 · 2026-10-04T07:08:42Z

Thanks for testing on 0.62.0. The dialog question is now the ? row nearest above the options, so the web_fetch frame quotes "Do you want to proceed?" instead of the tool's prompt, and a question that wraps across rows is joined from its rows (a row joins only when the next word could not have fitted on it, so "URLs to fetch:" is left out). Both of your frames are now tests in internal/status/status_test.go.

Thanks for turning this around so fast! I replayed my real gemini 0.62.0 frames through the new head and every dialog quotes the right question now.
