gemini-cli is completely useless for anything proactive.

It's very good at planning and figuring out large codebases.

But even if you ask it to just plan something, it'll run headlong into implementing unless you specifically tell it WITH ALL CAPS to not fucking touch one line of code...

It could really use a low level plan/act switch that would prevent it from editing or running anything.
