# Gemini CLI nightly 0.56.0-nightly.20260821: symlink handling fix in ignore paths

> This nightly carries two core changes: a fix making symlink evaluation consistent when resolving ignore paths, and an internal cleanup of shellExecutionService that removes eslint-disable comments and type assertions. Relevant if you rely on ignore-file behaviour across symlinked directories.
