Checklist

• I've read CONTRIBUTING.md.
• I've accepted the ICLA (and CCLA if contributing on my employer's time). CLA Assistant will prompt me on this PR if I haven't already.
• min check passes for the affected packages/harnesses.
• min patched-build <name> succeeds for any package I added or modified.
• For new packages: source_provenance points to the canonical upstream and the source builds from source (not a prebuilt release binary) where the required toolchain is available.
• For version bumps: I've verified the new sha256 against the upstream archive.

Tests and package attributes packages/gemini-cli/build.ncl	Adds tests (version smoketest and help/grep) and sets attrs including upstream_version, source_provenance (GithubRepo), and env_dir_mappings for ~/.gemini.
Bash build script (npm install) packages/gemini-cli/build.sh	Strict-mode Bash script that runs npm install @google/gemini-cli@${MINIMAL_ARG_VERSION} --prefix $OUTPUT_DIR/usr to install into the package prefix.

"A rabbit taps the build, so spry,
pins versions neat beneath the sky,
npm hops in, files take their place,
checksums dance, and tests embrace,
tiny paws deliver the supply."

In `@packages/gemini-cli/build.sh`:
- Line 4: The npm install command in build.sh uses unquoted variables which can
break on paths with spaces or special chars; update the line invoking npm
install -g --prefix=$OUTPUT_DIR/usr `@google/gemini-cli`@$MINIMAL_ARG_VERSION to
quote the variables (e.g. --prefix="$OUTPUT_DIR/usr" and
"`@google/gemini-cli`@$MINIMAL_ARG_VERSION") so $OUTPUT_DIR and
$MINIMAL_ARG_VERSION are protected from word splitting and globbing.

Inline comments:
In `@packages/gemini-cli/build.sh`:
- Line 4: The npm install line uses legacy backticks around the package name
causing command substitution; update the npm install command (the npm install -g
--prefix... invocation that uses the MINIMAL_ARG_VERSION and OUTPUT_DIR
variables) to pass the literal package spec rather than using backticks—remove
the backticks and quote the package spec so it becomes
`@google/gemini-cli`@"$MINIMAL_ARG_VERSION" (or wrap the entire package spec in
single or double quotes) so npm receives the correct package string.
