Gemini CLI docs fix: correct env var redaction keys

harshil-mistry · ghdev · 2026-08-24

Issue: The documentation for environment variable redaction listed non-existent keys (security.allowedEnvironmentVariables), making the provided config invalid.
Root Cause: The actual settings are nested under security.environmentVariableRedaction (e.g., blocked, allowed, enabled).
Fix: Updated the docs to match the schema and code, explicitly adding the enabled field which defaults to false.
Impact: Users following the old docs unknowingly ran with the security feature disabled, risking secret exposure.
