Shell command execution gets stuck with "Waiting input" after command completes #25166

Description

@rnett

What happened?

Repeatedly, after Gemini executes a simple CLI command, it hangs, while still showing the shell command as active and "Awaiting user input". The shell command has already finished. This happens for extremely simple shell commands that will not await or ask for user input.

What did you expect to happen?

Gemini CLI be able to run shell commands reliably.
