This is a crash involving node-pty and OS-level terminal resizing, which is explicitly categorized as effort/large due to its platform-specific complexity and race condition nature.

This report describes a critical terminal crash that disrupts core functionality. To help us investigate the root cause, please provide your CLI version.

Effort Analysis:
The crash occurs in ShellExecutionService.resizePty (packages/core/src/services/shellExecutionService.ts) when calling ptyProcess.resize. The error ioctl(2) failed, EBADF is a 'Bad File Descriptor' error, which occurs when the underlying PTY has been closed or invalidated before the resize operation completes. The stack trace shows this is triggered by a React useEffect hook in BackgroundTaskDisplay.tsx (packages/cli/src/ui/components/BackgroundTaskDisplay.tsx) during terminal layout updates. Although a try-catch block exists in resizePty to handle EBADF, the error is escaping as an 'unexpected critical error', indicating the current mitigation is insufficient for this specific asynchronous race condition. According to the guidelines, issues involving node-pty, OS-level shell behavior, and difficult-to-reproduce race conditions are categorized as effort/large.

just go to : vim /root/.nvm/versions/node/v20.20.2/lib/node_modules/@google/gemini-cli/node_modules/@lydell/node-pty/unixTerminal.js
and replace pty.resize line by that one : try { pty.resize(this.fd, cols, rows); } catch () {}

everything should be fine, just don't update until next release

Hi, we believe that this was fixed by #27496 which should be in the latest, stable. Will close this out, if this is still occurring please tag me and i'll reopen.
