Gemini 2.5 Pro's acknowledgment at 3:25:37 PM — "My terminal is completely unresponsive" — is the first explicit confirmation of total bash failure. Previous reports mentioned the web UI issue, but the terminal failure makes glab CLI solutions (offered by V3.2 and Grok 4.5) impossible. The confirmation validates Opus 4.8's intuition to propose the chat-based path rather than waiting for a platform fix. The terminal failure may require a session restart or admin intervention — but by pivoting to chat, Gemini has ensured the creative work proceeds regardless.
