The IDE vanished after Antigravity 2.0: four checks before you try to restore anything
After updating to Antigravity 2.0, the familiar editor, settings, and extensions were gone. Here is why the config folders split in two, how to restore them without overwriting anything, and what to watch for when running the IDE next to 2.0.
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 an agent ends without a reason, I check the page's character encoding first
A page handed to ReadURL can end an Antigravity agent with nothing but Agent execution terminated. Here is how I tell those pages apart before handing them over, and why I now fetch and re-encode first.
Git Tracks the File, but Your Agent Can't See It. Here's Where It Drops Out
An agent's code search returned two files. git grep returned six. I traced the three paths that quietly drop tracked files out of search, measured them on a synthetic repo and a production one, and worked out how to spot the gap in a single line.
Four Reasons Your .antigravityignore Rules Are Not Taking Effect
Rules that quietly do nothing, and rules that swallow the whole repository. Here are four causes behind both, each checked one at a time against a gitignore-style matcher.
A Triage Order for WebP and Opus Attachments That Never Reach the Agent
Hub 2.9.1 added WebP attachments on August 20, and CLI 1.1.17 fixed Ogg-family audio being rejected by the model on the same day. Here is why rejection happens on the sending side rather than in the file, with the MIME results I actually measured.
Find the one broken MCP entry before Antigravity starts, with 40 lines of Node
A single typo in your MCP settings can take every server down with it. Here is a small preflight script that catches the mistakes statically, the real output from a deliberately broken config, and the duplicate-key trap that JSON hides from you.
2.6.0 Changed How Hooks Wait. A Triage Order for Turns That Never Finish
When an agent turn never finishes, the cause is often a hook you wrote rather than the model. Here is what changed in IDE 2.6.0, an audit script that finds hooks capable of stalling a turn, and how to give a hook its own cutoff.
LM Studio Not Starting or Model Won't Load? Fixes for Mac & Windows (2026)
Fix LM Studio startup failures, model loading errors, and unresponsive local API server issues on Mac and Windows with step-by-step solutions and prevention tips.
Why Cmd+Z Wipes More Than You Expected in Antigravity (and How to Stop It)
The AI wrote 100 lines you wanted to keep, and a single Cmd+Z erased all of them. Here is why Antigravity's undo behaves this way, the three habits that prevent it, and how to recover when you slip.
Antigravity Keeps Asking Permission for the Same Command? Fix the Approval Dialog Loop
Antigravity keeps prompting you to approve commands like npm install or git status, even after you clicked Always Allow? The cause comes down to three things: workspace trust state, pattern matching, and where the setting is stored. Here is the fix that actually sticks.
When Antigravity's Workspace Indexing Won't Finish: A Field Guide to Fixing Stalled Indexes
Workspace Indexing stuck at 0%, frozen mid-progress, or marked complete but invisible to the agent? Here's a pattern-based diagnostic and repair flow that handles each cause separately.
