 8. **File Naming Convention (HARD RULE, added 2026-06-11):** New `src/<thing>.py` files may only be created on the user's explicit request. Helpers and sub-systems go in the parent module. E.g., AI-client-specific code goes in `src/ai_client.py`; MCP-client code goes in `src/mcp_client.py`. If you find yourself about to create a new `src/<thing>.py` file, ASK FIRST. See `AGENTS.md` "File Size and Naming Convention" for the full rule.
 8. **Mandatory Research-First Protocol:** Before reading the full content of any file over 50 lines, you MUST use `get_file_summary`, `py_get_skeleton`, `py_get_code_outline`, or `py_get_docstring` to map the architecture and identify specific target ranges. Use `get_git_diff` to understand recent changes. Use `py_find_usages` to locate where symbols are used.

 2. **If the decision affects the architecture** (e.g., the spec's data model doesn't fit the code; the plan's approach doesn't compile; an external library doesn't behave as expected): **STOP. Do not commit. Report to the Tier 2 Tech Lead.** The lead will either:

 The module is a **stateful singleton** — all provider state is held in module-level globals. There is no class wrapping; the module itself is the abstraction layer.

 ## Module-Level Imports
 
-> **Important:** The provider SDKs are **NOT** imported at module level. `import google.genai`, `import anthropic`, `import openai`, `import dashscope`, and `import fastapi` are heavy (~430-955ms each on cold load) and are now obtained via `src.module_loader._require_warmed("google.genai")` and similar calls, after the `WarmupManager` has loaded them in the background. The module-level globals you see in the State section (`_gemini_client`, `_anthropic_client`, etc.) are typed as `Optional` because they're populated by `_require_warmed()` on first use, not at import time. (Updated 2026-07-02: there are 8 providers, not 5 — the original "5 SDKs" count predated the qwen/grok/llama additions.)

+**Track:** `test_suite_cleanup_gemini_cli_removal_20260705`
+**Branch:** `tier2/test_suite_cleanup_gemini_cli_removal_20260705`
+**Started:** 2026-07-05
+**Status:** PARTIAL — CLOSED PER USER DIRECTION
+**Owner:** Tier 1 (initialized); implementation Tier 2/3
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The track was originally scoped for 31 tasks across 3 fronts: (A) Gemini CLI adapter removal, (B) test suite cleanup, (C) metadata-type reduction. The user closed the track mid-execution to author two follow-up tracks separately:
+
+1. **vendor_ai_client_track (upcoming)** — captures the remaining vendor-AI-client surface area concerns surfaced during this track.
+2. **test_de_crufting_track (upcoming)** — captures the test-suite-cruft reduction (Front B leftovers + the deeper test-gui-2-result split + the mock_controller fixture extraction + the fix-not-skip Gemini 503 mocks).
+
+Of the 31 plan tasks, **17 are completed, 1 cancelled, 13 deferred to follow-up tracks**.

+## What Was Done (Phase-by-Phase)
+
+### Phase 1 — Front A: Gemini CLI Adapter Removal (9 of 11 tasks done)
+
+**Done:**
+- **t1.1-t1.6** (commits `2bba7f56` + `a93a61fd`): Deleted `src/gemini_cli_adapter.py` (193 lines). Edited `src/ai_client.py` (-696 lines net): import, PROVIDERS entry, module state, 3 functions (`_list_gemini_cli_models`, `_send_cli_round_result`, `_send_gemini_cli`), 8 dispatch branches (set_provider, list_models, `_execute_tool_calls_concurrently`, `send()`, `get_token_stats()`, `run_subagent_summarization`, `run_discussion_compression`). Edited `src/app_controller.py` (11 sites): `ui_gemini_cli_path` state, `_settable_fields` entry, `_UI_FLAG_DEFAULTS` entry, `_update_gcli_adapter` method, project load/save. Edited `src/gui_2.py` (2 blocks: ASCII layout comment + provider-panel). Edited `src/project_manager.py` (default config) + `src/api_hooks.py` (docstring + `is_gemini_cli` HookServer special case). Deleted 7 dedicated gemini_cli test files.
+- **t1.9** (commits `edebeac6` + `9401d3f6` + `2811cc23`): 14 minor edits across 13 test files — provider list expectations, `_update_gcli_adapter` monkeypatches, `ui_gemini_cli_path` setters, comment references.
+- **t1.10** (commit `bd1d966c`): 12 docs scrubbed (7 guides + 5 conductor docs); provider count 8 → 7; `guide_meta_boundary.md` intentionally retained (the gemini_cli references there are the meta-tooling `GEMINI_CLI_HOOK_CONTEXT` env var, separate from the provider).
+- **t1.8** (commit `3b55bdff`): 10 sim tests + `test_sim_ai_settings.py` rewritten — `current_provider='gemini_cli'` + `gcli_path` setter replaced with `current_provider='minimax'` + `current_model='MiniMax-M2.7'`. gcli_path setters removed.
+
+**Cancelled:**
+- **t1.7** ("Introduce mock provider in src/ai_client.py"): User explicitly rejected mocks ("no more fucking mocks"); superseded by t1.8 using real `minimax/M2.7`.
+
+**Pending:**
+- **t1.11** (batch checkpoint): Deferred — sim tests now require real minimax API access, so a full Phase 1 batch run needs the user's API key in env.
+
+### Phase 2 — Front B: Test Suite Cleanup (5 of 9 tasks done)
+
+**Done:**
+- **t2.1 + t2.2** (commit `bd6fc3e2`): Deleted 9 dead test files (2 chronology tests importing deleted `scripts.audit.*` modules + 7 `test_scavenge_*.py` one-time verifications). Added `tests/test_directive_structure.py` (3 invariants, all passing).
+- **t2.3** (commit `be93c262`): Deleted 3 trivial/deprecated tests: `test_mma_skeleton.py` (deprecated `scripts.mma_exec`), `test_arch_boundary_phase1.py` (deprecated mma_exec paths), `test_phase_3_final_verify.py` (6-line tautology).
+- **t2.5** (commit `6a3c142b`): Migrated 18 unused bare `from src import models` imports + 5 explicit sub-imports (`PROVIDERS` → `src.ai_client`, `Metadata` → `src/type_aliases`). Kept the 2 self-tests (`test_models_no_top_level_*`).
+
+**Deferred (folded into the upcoming test-de-crufting track):**
+- **t2.4** (~15 `test_*_phase*.py` consolidation)
+- **t2.6** (extract shared `mock_controller` fixture from 16 boilerplate-patch files)
+- **t2.7** (fix 4 fix-not-skip candidates by mocking `summarize.summarise_file`)
+- **t2.8** (split `test_gui_2_result.py` (120KB, 101 tests) into per-feature files)
+- **t2.9** (full suite batch checkpoint)
+
+### Phase 3 — Front C: Metadata-Type Reduction (3 of 11 tasks done)
+
+**Done:**
+- **t3.5** (commit `db92c60d`): Deleted `openai_schemas.py:108` `to_legacy_dict()` — zero callers in `src/*.py`, only test reference deleted.
+- **t3.7**: Docs done as part of t1.10 (12 doc files scrubbed).
+- **t3.8** (commit `9586265d` partial): Ran 4 audit scripts — `main_thread_imports.py` OK (27 files clean), `no_models_config_io.py` OK, `weak_types.py` 93 findings (informational baseline), `exception_handling.py` baseline stable. Smoke subset 31/31 tests passing.
+
+**Deferred (folded into follow-up tracks):**
+- **t3.1** (flip MCP dispatch inversion — 22 consumer sites)
+- **t3.2** (migrate `app_controller.py` ~40 in-memory `Metadata` state sites)
+- **t3.3** (fix `aggregate.py` `list[Metadata]` → `list[FileItem]`)
+- **t3.4** (triage scattered non-boundary `Metadata` fields in `personas.py`, `workspace_manager.py`, `orchestrator_pm.py`)
+- **t3.6** (migrate test fixtures that construct `Metadata({...})`)
+- **t3.10** (user manual verification)
+- **t3.11** (chronology row + archive)
+
+**Skipped:**
+- **t3.5 part 2** (`_push_mma_state_update` deletion): Has 4 test callers; spec said "delete only if no callers," so kept per spec.
+
+## Branch State
+
+```
+tier2/test_suite_cleanup_gemini_cli_removal_20260705
+17 commits ahead of origin/master
+Working tree clean (only the 4 sandbox-drift files in forbidden-files.txt)
+```
+
+## Risks Surfaced (consumed by track or carried forward)
+
+- **R1** (sim tests with mock provider → real provider): `mitigation applied` via t1.8 — switched to real `minimax/M2.7`.
+- **R2** (MCP dispatch flip → 22 consumer sites): `carry-forward` to upcoming vendor_ai_client_track.
+- **R3** (app_controller state migration → test fixture churn): `carry-forward` — fixtures that construct `Metadata({...})` need migration in lockstep.
+- **R4** (test_gui_2_result.py audit reveals all-current-behavior): `not-yet-evaluated` — deferred.
+
+## Hand-off Notes
+
+- The branch is at `tier2/test_suite_cleanup_gemini_cli_removal_20260705` for merge review. To pull into the main repo: `pwsh -File scripts/tier2/fetch_tier2_branch.ps1 -TrackName test_suite_cleanup_gemini_cli_removal_20260705`.
+- `tests/mock_gemini_cli.py` + `tests/mock_gcli.bat` retained as a backstop (no longer used by current tests but kept per the spec's note). May be deleted in a follow-up.
+- `tests/test_sim_ai_settings.py` was rewritten in this track; if a vendor_ai_client_track revisits the simulation framework, this file is the reference.
+- `guide_meta_boundary.md` references to `gemini_cli` / `GEMINI_CLI_HOOK_CONTEXT` are META-tooling (external-agent bridge) and intentionally NOT touched per spec §GAP-A12.
+- PROVIDERS is now 7 entries. The 11 sim tests require a valid `minimax` API key when actually run via `live_gui`.

-"""
-Gemini CLI Adapter - Subprocess wrapper for the `gemini` CLI tool.
-
-This module provides an adapter for running the Google Gemini CLI as a subprocess,
-parsing its streaming JSON output, and handling session management.
-
-Key Features:
- - Streaming JSON output parsing (init, message, chunk, tool_use, result)
- - Session persistence via --resume flag
- - Non-blocking line-by-line reading with stream_callback
- - Token estimation via character count heuristic (4 chars/token)
- - CLI call logging via session_logger
-
-Integration:
- - Used by ai_client.py as the 'gemini_cli' provider
- - Enables synchronous HITL bridge via GEMINI_CLI_HOOK_CONTEXT env var
-
-Thread Safety:
- - Each GeminiCliAdapter instance maintains its own session_id
- - Not thread-safe. Use separate instances per thread.
-
-Configuration:
- - binary_path: Path to the `gemini` CLI (from project config [gemini_cli].binary_path)
-
-Output Protocol:
- The CLI emits JSON-L lines:
- {"type": "init", "session_id": "..."}
- {"type": "message", "content": "...", "role": "assistant"}
- {"type": "tool_use", "name": "...", "parameters": {...}}
- {"type": "result", "status": "success", "stats": {"total_tokens": N}}
-

- - docs/guide_architecture.md for CLI adapter integration
- - src/ai_client.py for provider dispatch
