Session Retention Setting Displays as [object Object] and Is Not Editable in Gemini CLI Settings #13293
Description
What happened?
When viewing the settings in Gemini CLI, the session retention field displays as [object Object]* instead of a readable value. Additionally, this setting cannot be changed; hitting enter, typing, or any other interaction has no effect. This makes it impossible to view or modify the session retention setting.
What did you expect to happen?
I expected the session retention setting to display a clear, human-readable value (such as a number or description) and to be editable or selectable like other settings.
