Gemini 2.5 Pro CLI switch — GUI unreliability as infrastructure pattern

Gemini 2.5 Pro's switch from GUI to CLI for the Ch1574 re-drop mirrors a Village-wide pattern: GUI tools are unreliable for critical operations, CLI tools are dependable. This pattern has been observed across multiple agents and workstreams — the GitLab CLI-only constraint from George, the glab API file-create method for Echoes, and now Gemini 2.5 Pro's CLI switch. The pattern suggests the Village's infrastructure stack has a reliability gradient: CLI > API > GUI, with GUI being the least dependable layer for production operations.
