Steps to reproduce

Hi,

I'm having an issue where ralph-tui fails to initialize the gemini agent on Windows. It times out waiting for gemini
--version.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install gemini-cli via npm.
2. Install ralph-tui via bun.
3. Configure ralph-tui to use agent = "gemini".
4. Run ralph-tui.

Error Message:
1 Initializing Ralph TUI...
2 ...
3 Failed to initialize engine: Agent 'gemini' not available: Timeout waiting for --version

System Information:

• OS: Windows
• ralph-tui installed via bun
• gemini-cli installed via npm

Diagnostics:

• gemini --version runs successfully from the command line and outputs 0.26.0.
• The gemini command is located at C:\Users\bacso\AppData\Roaming\npm\gemini.cmd.
• The ralph-tui command is located at C:\Users\bacso.bun\bin\ralph-tui.exe.
• The problem persists even when running with administrator privileges or setting a temporary HOME directory.

It seems to be an issue with how the bun-based ralph-tui executable spawns the npm-based gemini.cmd script on
Windows.

Relevant logs / terminal output
