The logic for managing cookie persistence files was previously implemented directly within the `gemini-web` client's persistence layer. This approach was not reusable and led to duplicated helper functions.
This commit refactors the cookie persistence mechanism by:
- Renaming the concept from "sidecar" to "snapshot" for clarity.
- Extracting file I/O and path manipulation logic into a new, generic `internal/util/cookie_snapshot.go` file.
- Creating reusable utility functions: `WriteCookieSnapshot`, `TryReadCookieSnapshotInto`, and `RemoveCookieSnapshot`.
- Updating the `gemini-web` persistence code to use these new centralized utility functions.
This change improves code organization, reduces duplication, and makes the cookie snapshot functionality easier to maintain and potentially reuse across other clients.
This commit introduces two major enhancements to the Gemini Web client to improve user experience and conversation continuity.
First, it implements a pseudo-streaming mechanism for non-code mode. The Gemini Web API returns the full response at once in this mode, leading to a poor user experience with a long wait for output. This change splits the full response into smaller chunks and sends them with an 80ms delay, simulating a real-time streaming effect.
Second, the conversation context reuse logic is now more robust. A fallback mechanism has been added to reuse conversation metadata when a clear continuation context is detected (e.g., a user replies to an assistant's turn). This improves conversational flow. Metadata lookups have also been improved to check both the canonical model key and its alias for better compatibility.
- replace debounce timing with content-based change detection using SHA256 hashes
- skip client reload when auth file content is unchanged
- handle empty auth files gracefully by ignoring them
- ensure hash cache is updated only on successful client creation
- clean up hash cache when clients are removed
- separate file-based and API key-based clients in watcher
- improve client reloading logic with better locking and error handling
- add dedicated functions for building API key clients and loading file clients
- update combined client map generation to include cached API key clients
- enhance logging and debugging information during client reloads
- fix potential race conditions in client updates and removals
