Gemini CLI fails on Node.js v20+ with "URL.parse is not a function" #13615
Description
What happened?
The Gemini CLI (@google/gemini-cli) version 0.17.0 fails when running commands on Node.js versions 20 and higher
This seems to be caused by the use of the deprecated and removed URL.parse function from the legacy url module
The package's documentation states it requires Node.js v20+, which is contradictory to this behavior.
The command fails with the following error message: █
URL.parse is not a function
Environment

7 * Node.js Version: v20.12.2
8 * Gemini CLI Version: 0.17.0

What did you expect to happen?
The command should execute successfully without errors. █
