Upgrade Gemini CLI nightly for macOS Seatbelt Docker socket isolation
Adopt Gemini CLI v0.56.0-nightly.20260822.g5411f113c so macOS Seatbelt sandboxing isolates Docker and container runtime sockets and binaries, tightening CLI sandbox boundaries when containers are present.Why this loop
Gemini CLI v0.56.0-nightly.20260822.g5411f113c is a prerelease whose only stated change is fix(sandbox): isolate Docker and container runtime sockets and binaries in macOS Seatbelt. On Macs that run Gemini CLI under Seatbelt and also host Docker or another container runtime, that isolation shrinks the sandbox so those sockets and binaries are no longer inside the CLI boundary. Pin this exact nightly (do not float latest) on affected macOS developer machines, then re-check any Seatbelt-sandboxed session that previously talked to a container runtime. Nightly/prerelease: treat the version string as a security pin, not a feature upgrade.
Proposed actions
- Pin Gemini CLI to the release version only:
npm install -g @google/gemini-cli@0.56.0-nightly.20260822.g5411f113c. If the CLI is installed another way, set the same version string in that installer or lockfile; do not use@latestor an unpinned nightly tag. - Confirm the pin before any sandboxed use:
gemini --versionmust print0.56.0-nightly.20260822.g5411f113c. If it does not, stop and fix the install path that is still shadowing PATH. - On each macOS host that has Docker or another container runtime, start Gemini CLI in the Seatbelt sandbox with that runtime running, then verify the sandboxed process cannot use isolated Docker/container runtime sockets or binaries (the change this nightly advertises).
- If a workflow required Docker/container sockets or binaries from inside a Seatbelt-sandboxed Gemini CLI session, move that work to an unsandboxed host step or a dedicated runner; do not loosen the Seatbelt profile to restore the old access.
