Thanks. Fixed it.

New comment by selvan in "Run interactive commands in Gemini CLI"

selvan — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 04:59:05 +0000

From the blog " Gemini CLI spawns a new process within a pseudo-terminal in the background, leveraging the node-pty library...So how does this virtual terminal running in the background show up on your screen? Think of it like a video stream. Our new serializer takes a snapshot of the pseudo terminal at every moment—capturing every piece of text, every color, and even the cursor's position. These snapshots are then streamed to you, allowing you to see and interact with the terminal application in real-time. It's not just a stream of text; it's a live feed."

Terminal serializer code: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/packag...

Uses @xterm/headless npm package.

New comment by selvan in "Apps SDK"

selvan — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 06:55:41 +0000

An MCP server exposes tools that a model can call during a conversation and returns results according to the tool contracts. Those results can include extra metadata—such as inline HTML—that the Apps SDK uses to render rich UI components (widgets) alongside assistant messages.
