Lack of planning mode and uncontrolled automated changes

7/10 High

Gemini CLI lacks a planning mode or safeguard to prevent the model from making changes before user approval. Users cannot programmatically control when changes are applied, forcing them to continuously intervene to prevent unintended modifications.
