Bug: Gemini CLI hooks session-start hangs indefinitely on Windows (Scoop install)Β #1398

What happened?

The entire hooks gemini session-start command hangs indefinitely when running on Windows (MINGW64/Git Bash, installed via Scoop). Command never returns, so Gemini's hooks likely time out and get killed, leading to no session ever being started. Killing it with Ctrl+C and checking .entire/logs/*.log shows no session start entry. This is a bug in Entire CLI on Windows.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Git Bash / MINGW64 on Windows
  2. Install Entire CLI using Scoop (version 0.7.5)
  3. Run: entire hooks gemini session-start
  4. Observe that the command hangs indefinitely
  5. Press Ctrl+C to stop it
  6. Check log output: cat .entire/logs/*.log | tail -20

Entire CLI version

Entire CLI 0.7.5

OS and architecture

Windows, installed via Scoop (0.7.5)

Agent

Gemini CLI

Terminal

Git Bash / MINGW64

Logs / debug output

See `.entire/logs/*.log` output after manually killing the session-start process.

Additional context

Workaround: Use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) instead of Git Bash β€” session-start works correctly there. Expected behavior: Command should return quickly and log session start. Please fix terminal compatibility on Windows.
