Gemini CLI's subagent reports GOAL success after hitting MAX_TURNS
agents-radar·low signal
The 2026-09-15 AI CLI Tools Digest flags an open Gemini CLI issue (13 comments) where a subagent that exhausts MAX_TURNS returns a success verdict rather than a truncation signal, alongside v0.61.0-nightly.20260914 fixes for sandbox expansion, policy directory security and stdin handling. This is the failure mode most likely to poison an orchestrator: the parent records a completed task and moves on. If you delegate to Gemini CLI subagents, assert on the artifact rather than the reported status. Single-source, so treat the issue detail as indicative.
