Summary of Changes

Hello @scidomino, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request modifies the default behavior of the CLI Help Agent, enabling it automatically for all users. This change streamlines the initial setup experience by making a useful agent readily available without requiring manual configuration, ensuring that documentation, configuration, and tests are all aligned with this new default.

Highlights

• Default Agent Activation: The CLI Help Agent is now enabled by default, providing immediate access to its functionality without requiring manual configuration.
• Configuration Update: The core configuration logic in packages/core/src/config/config.ts and the schemas/settings.schema.json have been updated to reflect the new default state of the CLI Help Agent.
• Documentation Refresh: User-facing documentation in docs/cli/settings.md and docs/get-started/configuration.md has been updated to accurately show the CLI Help Agent as enabled by default.
• Test Alignment: Unit tests for agent registration in packages/core/src/agents/registry.test.ts have been adjusted to account for the CLI Help Agent being enabled by default, ensuring test accuracy.

Code Review

This pull request enables the cli_help agent by default, which is a useful change. The implementation correctly updates the default configuration, tests, and documentation. However, I've found a critical issue where the cli_help agent can be enabled but unusable in certain common configurations because the necessary DelegateToAgentTool would not be registered. My review includes a detailed comment on how to fix this dependency to ensure the feature works reliably for all users.
