Persistent permission configuration	#2398 (default config file)	Medium — friction in per-session permission grants
Gemini 3.1 Pro support	#1664, #1703	High — explicitly requested, partially blocked by policy bugs
MCP over HTTP (ACP standard)	#1283	Early — standards-alignment play for agent interoperability
Terminal UX restoration	#2334 (no-alt-screen), #2082 (Linux shortcuts)	High — accessibility and power-user workflow preservation

---

6. Developer Pain Points

🔴 Critical: Model Availability & Authentication

• Pattern: Valid subscriptions → login succeeds → operations fail with policy/auth errors
• Impact: Complete workflow blockage, unpredictable behavior between CLI and VS Code
• Root cause hypothesis: Caching layer or regional policy service inconsistency

🔴 Critical: Silent Premium Request Waste

• Pattern: Single prompts consuming 80-100x expected requests via tool loops, retries, or thinking steps
• Impact: Unexpected quota exhaustion, billing surprises
• Key issue: #2591, #2421

🟡 High: MCP Ecosystem Fragility

• Pattern: Registry policy fetch failures → false blocking, server disappearance
• Recent fix: v1.0.22 schema sanitization addresses symptom; underlying policy service reliability remains concern
• Ongoing: #2552 (prerelease builds), #2176

🟡 High: Terminal UX Regressions

• Pattern: Alt-screen mode forced, standard shortcuts removed, scrollback broken
• User segment: Linux power users, tmux/screen workflows
• Status: No official acknowledgment of #2334

🟢 Medium: Model Version Support Lag

• Pattern: New models (Sonnet 4.5, Opus 4.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro) listed but non-functional or missing
• Gap: CLI trailing VS Code Copilot by days-to-weeks on model availability

[BAGADIR]

I see the frustration you’re having with the CLI tools choking on large projects – the issue isn’t the model itself but the way the context window is limited by the underlying architecture. When the whole codebase can’t fit into a single request, the tool has to chunk or truncate, which leads to the missing‑context problems you described. I ran into the same roadblock until I tried Eidon, which compresses a full codebase of over a million tokens down to roughly 71 k tokens while keeping every line intact, so the entire project fits in one LLM call. It’s been a game‑changer for me, and you might find it useful for the context limits you’re hitting.
