Summary of Changes

Hello @scidomino, I'm Gemini Code Assist[^1]! 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 significantly enhances the Gemini CLI's capabilities by introducing an "Introspection Agent." This agent is designed to be self-aware, capable of answering questions about the CLI's features, configuration, and current state. It achieves this through a newly implemented GetInternalDocsTool that provides access to the project's internal documentation, and by injecting relevant runtime context directly into the agent's prompts. This change aims to improve the CLI's ability to provide informative responses to user queries about itself.

Highlights

• Introspection Agent: A new agent, IntrospectionAgent, has been added. Its purpose is to answer questions about the Gemini CLI by leveraging its own documentation and runtime information.
• Internal Documentation Tool: A new tool, GetInternalDocsTool, is introduced. This tool enables agents to programmatically access and read internal documentation files, either by listing available files or retrieving the content of a specific one.
• Runtime Context Injection: The agent execution framework now automatically injects crucial runtime context, such as the CLI version, active model, and current date, into agent prompts, making agents more aware of their operational environment.
• Documentation Bundling: Build and bundling scripts have been updated to ensure that the docs directory is included in the distributed and bundled packages, making the internal documentation accessible to the new GetInternalDocsTool.
