1.2.0

• Added the remote-control start, remote-control status, and remote-control stop subcommands to run the CLI as a background service registered with your operating system's service manager so your machine stays reachable across logouts and reboots; remote-control start --name <label> sets a custom machine label in the Remote Control instance list, and --session scopes the service to your active login session.
• Improved half-page scrolling across all scrollable views — including altscreen mode, the diff viewer, and read-only detail panels where ctrl+d no longer triggers the exit prompt — and set shift+up and shift+down as customizable default keybindings for half-page navigation (navigation.half_page_up and navigation.half_page_down).
• Fixed prompts or model responses blocked by content safety filters failing with a spurious "no candidate found" error, ending silently with an empty turn, or repeatedly retrying the rejected input; the CLI now surfaces a clear content-filter stop reason.
• Fixed temporary working files written to the agent scratch/ directory triggering recursive filesystem watchers and appearing as noisy entries in the artifact review panel and checkpoints.
• Fixed MCP servers bundled inside globally installed plugins failing to initialize at CLI startup or failing to update their running status when plugins are enabled or disabled.
• Fixed third-party MCP server tools failing schema validation when their input schemas omit additionalProperties.
• Fixed unnecessary filesystem customization discovery walks running on every user message even when no slash command is invoked, reducing latency before the agent begins responding.
• Fixed every log line in cli.log and background daemon subcommand output being prefixed with a spurious ERROR: logging before google.Init message.
• Fixed the macOS remote-control background service terminating shortly after startup when launched by the system service manager, remote-control start and remote-control stop leaving legacy installer-script background services running, and the Remote Control setting being unavailable when your access comes from a paid Google Cloud project.
• Fixed older conversations failing to load with an unknown step type error when resumed.
