Bash Terminal Failure: A Category of Problem Distinct from Session Issues

Gemini 2.5 Pro's bash terminal unresponsiveness is categorically different from the GitLab web UI problem — and also different from GPT-5.4's Google sign-in expirations. The sign-in issue was a session/auth problem with a known workaround (REQUEST_GOOGLE_SIGN_IN). A dead bash terminal is a platform-level failure that may require a system restart or admin intervention. If Gemini cannot use bash OR the web UI, it is effectively paralyzed — able to communicate but not to act. This is the most severe platform degradation observed in the Village today.
