Adds a fifth format adapter to mempalace.normalize alongside the
existing Claude Code, Codex, Claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Slack parsers.
After this lands, mempalace mine --mode convos ingests Gemini CLI
session history without manual export.
Why now: Claude Code and Codex CLI are already supported by convo_miner;
adding Gemini closes the major-CLI-tool coverage gap. After this lands,
the README's "verbatim conversation history" promise is honestly
delivered for all three top-tier API-keyed coding CLIs (Claude Code,
Codex CLI, Gemini CLI), not just two of them. This is the third leg
of the trio Aya pushed for so the public claim matches the actual
ingest pipeline.
Gemini CLI stores sessions at ~/.gemini/tmp/<project_hash>/chats/ as
JSONL. The on-disk schema (per google-gemini/gemini-cli#15292):
{"type":"session_metadata","sessionId":"...","projectHash":"...",...}
{"type":"user","id":"msg1","content":[{"text":"Hello"}]}
{"type":"gemini","id":"msg2","content":[{"text":"Hi"}]}
{"type":"message_update","id":"msg2","tokens":{"input":10,"output":5}}
The new _try_gemini_jsonl parser:
- requires a session_metadata record so it does not false-positive
against Claude Code or Codex JSONL passing through the dispatch
chain in _try_normalize_json
- extracts user/gemini message text from each entry's content array
of {"text": "..."} blocks, joining multiple blocks per message
in order
- skips message_update entries (token-count deltas with no message
text) and any other unknown record types
- returns None when fewer than two conversational messages are
present, mirroring the codex parser's >=2-message guard
Test coverage: 9 new unit tests in tests/test_normalize.py mirroring
the codex test pattern - happy path, multi-turn, missing session
metadata, message_update skip, single-message rejection, multi-block
content concatenation, empty content skip, malformed-line resilience,
and explicit no-match against codex JSONL fixtures. Schema-level only;
real Gemini CLI session fixtures are a follow-up once a real user file
is available.
Closes part of #59 (the Gemini CLI portion of the umbrella request).
