This PR fixes a crash in the Gemini CLI that occurs when attempting to resize a PTY that has already been closed. This is a common race condition in environment with tiled window managers or terminal multiplexers like Zellij, where rapid layout changes can trigger a resize event exactly as a process terminates, leading to an Error: ioctl(2) failed, EBADF.

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a crash in the Gemini CLI that occurs when a PTY resize event is triggered for a terminal that has already been closed. By correctly identifying the EBADF error, the service can now handle these events gracefully, improving the stability of the terminal interface in environments with rapid layout changes.

Highlights

  • Error Handling: Added explicit handling for EBADF errors during PTY resizing to prevent application crashes caused by race conditions.

Code Review

This pull request attempts to add a check for the 'EBADF' error code in shellExecutionService.ts. However, it introduces a duplicate declaration of the block-scoped variable isEbadf, which will cause a compilation error. The reviewer correctly identified this issue and provided a suggestion to remove the redundant line.

Closing this as I see #27461 has already addressed the issue in main.
