feat(gemini-module): Gemini session resume

[Harsh9485]

Description

Closes: #745

This PR adds the enable_state_persistence variable.

The session resume logic works as follows: when we run the Gemini CLI, it creates a folder with the same name as the directory where the CLI command runs. In the script, we use agentapi, which runs in the $GEMINI_START_DIRECTORY directory. So, I get the directory name and check whether it exists. If it does not exist, a new session is created.

Changes:

• Added enable_state_persistence variable.
• Improved AGS passing in start.sh.
• Added --type gemini in agentapi.
• Added logic for session resume using --resume.
• Updated Readme.md file
• added main.tftest.hcl file.

@mafredri,
I can’t test this because the module requires Node.js, and the user must install it first to use the Gemini module.

If I add the Gemini module but my workspace does not have Node installed, the workspace crashes. If I first don’t add the module, install Node, and then add the module in the template, Coder creates a new workspace, and again Node is not available, so the workspace crashes.

In this PR: #374, the Node installation part was removed, and I don’t see any valid reason for that.

You should just be able to use an image with node installed, or use the pre_install_script variable to install node.js before gemini even goes to install?

The base64 encoding of env vars in the start script is a solid improvement, eliminating a class of shell injection via special characters in API keys and prompts. Adding --type gemini to the agentapi server command aligns with the codex, copilot, and cursor-cli modules.

A few things need attention before this can merge: 4 P1, 4 P2, 1 P3, 1 nit across 10 inline comments.

Hisoka: "The --resume branch silently eating task_prompt on restart, the undeclared breaking change to the default folder, and the new exit 1 killing Vertex AI ADC users. Each breaks an existing use case documented in the README."

Mafuuu: "The promise is broken at the default configuration. enable_state_persistence defaults to true with agentapi v0.10.0, a combination the README itself says won't work."

Also: all four README code examples still show version = "3.0.0" but the PR declares v3.1.0. The registry checklist requires updating version references.

Sorry for being inactive.

The module update runs without errors, but there are still some issues.

1. I added the resume logic, but this module has an invalid configuration in settings.json, and the Coder MCP server is not configured properly.

`gemini --version
Invalid configuration in /home/coder/.gemini/settings.json:

Error in: mcpServers.coder
Unrecognized key(s) in object: 'enabled', 'name'`

2. The module does not appear in the Task tab.

I think the coder exp mcp configure gemini command does not support the Gemini CLI yet.

install-log.txt

So can I remove that command and configure the MCP server on my own?

[Harsh9485]

@mafredri
The module no longer crashes, and I fixed the Coder MCP server configuration.

However, the Gemini CLI has an issue when using GEMINI_API_KEY for authentication:
[API Error: Content generator not initialized]

Closing since this is Stale we can re-open or create a new PR if we want to do it again.
