### What happened?

stuck in auth loop , to submit this but due to again and again login not working on temp. basis chose second option.

I expected to get logged in as similar to agy , and other auth tools but this time it is stuck in loop and asking me on loop to select a login method , even after logging in and authorising.

### Anything else we need to know?

Just this , thx

Start by reproducing the authentication loop in Gemini CLI v0.59.0 on Linux, using the reported Google login and API-key fallback paths. Trace the authentication flow around repeated browser launches and successful callbacks. Done means a successful login reaches a usable CLI session without repeatedly asking for a login method.
