Gemini CLI regularly gets stuck failing to do anything after declaring its plan to me. There seems to be no way to un-lock it from this state except closing and reopening the interface, losing all its progress.

Depending on task complexity, I like to write a small markdown file with the list of features or tasks. If I lose a session (with any model), I'll start with "we were disconnected, please review the desired features in 'features.md', verify current state, and complete anything remaining.
That has reliably worked for me with Gemini, Codex, and Opus. If you can get them to check-off features as they complete them, works even better (i.e, success criteria and an empty checkbox for them to mark off).
you should be able to copy the entire conversation and paste it in (including thinking/reasoning tokens).
When you have a conversation with an AI, in simple terms, when you type a new line and hit enter, the client sends the entire conversation to the LLM. It has always worked this way, and it's how "reasoning tokens" were first realized. you allow a client to "edit" the context, and the client deletes the hallucination, then says "Wait..." at the end of the context, and hits enter.
the LLM is tricked into thinking it's confused/wrong/unsure, and "reasons" more about that particular thing.
