What happened?
Description
My Gemini CLI installation appears to have been automatically updated from the stable channel to a nightly build, even though I did not intentionally install @nightly.
I expected automatic updates to stay on the stable channel by default.
What happened?
I was using Gemini CLI normally and later found that the installed version had become:
npm list -g @google/gemini-cli
/opt/homebrew/lib
└── @google/gemini-cli@0.36.0-nightly.20260406.15298b28c
### What did you expect to happen?
If I installed the stable version, automatic updates should remain on the stable channel and should not switch me to nightly unless I explicitly opt in.
