The Day the Upload to Agent Overlay Took Every Drop, and How I Got File Handling Back

A full-window Upload to Agent overlay intercepts every drop, so files never reach the integrated terminal or the explorer sidebar. Here are the two workarounds the community found, plus three ways to hand over a path without dragging.

When the few lines you quoted stop making sense in the next prompt

Antigravity 2.12.0 lets you quote part of a response into your next prompt, but the definitions those lines depend on stay behind. Here is a small script that counts what got left out, plus the widths I actually measured.

What I Line Up in PowerShell Before Letting Antigravity Agents Run Commands on Windows

Antigravity agents tend to write bash-shaped commands, and on Windows those do not survive the trip. I ran PowerShell 7.6.5 locally and measured four things: chaining operators, aliases, exit codes, and output encoding.

The pipe in my wrapper was swallowing Antigravity CLI's exit code

CLI 1.1.14 surfaces language server failures as a non-zero exit. That improvement never reaches you if your automation wrapper drops the exit code first. I ran sixteen calling patterns on bash 5.1 and recorded which ones make the failure disappear, plus the fixes that bring it back.

When Antigravity Holds a Dozen Projects: How I Stopped Hunting for Yesterday's Conversation

Seven Characters Don't Only Point at Commits — Measuring When Your Agent's Recorded Hashes Stop Resolving
