After Dropbox Moved Under CloudStorage, Check That Your node_modules Exclusion Still Works
Dropbox's help page gives different ignore commands for the macOS File Provider build. Before handing dependency installs to an agent, here is how to check that your exclusion works: a dry-run-first shell script, and what I observed when running npm ci against a flagged directory.
You Don't Need to Read Commands: Three Places to Check When an Agent Works
If strings of terminal text make the approve button feel risky, here is a way to check just three things: a way back before you start, the first word of a command, and the diff afterward.
Why I took the show-or-not decision away from every dialog
A paywall prompt, a review request and a rewarded-ad confirmation landed on the same frame. Here is how I moved the show-or-not decision out of each dialog into a single gate, how I rewrote the agent instructions as invariants, and how a CI check keeps it that way.
Antigravity × Gemma 4: Building an On-Prem PII Masking Agent — Production Design That Keeps Sensitive Data In-House
When customer data cannot leave your network, here is the on-prem PII masking pipeline I run in production using Antigravity and Gemma 4 — including the audit, key, and latency decisions that hold up under SOC2 review.
Mastering Antigravity's Retry: How to Recover Stuck Agents Without Wasting Credits
How to tell which agent failures Retry can fix, how to read the log in 30 seconds, and three checks to run before pressing it again.
How to Safely Automate Database Migrations with Antigravity Agents
A practical design for safely automating database migrations with Antigravity's AI agents — AGENTS.md policies, a risk map by change type, Expand/Contract phasing, pre-flight verification with a shadow DB, and measured lock times on large tables, all worked backward from a real production incident.
Deciding When to Stop a Staged Rollout, Before You Have To — Agents Watch, I Halt
Field notes on building a Google Play staged-rollout watcher with Antigravity. Crash rate as a ratio to baseline, delayed ANR evaluation, and an explicit insufficient_data verdict — with the halt action kept in human hands.
When Antigravity Skips Parts of a Long Attached PDF — and a Gate That Forces It to Cite Sources
How to handle the case where Antigravity answers confidently from a long attached PDF but quietly skips a clause. With working code: a prompt that forces citations, and a gate that verifies each cited quote actually exists in the PDF.
The Back Button Showed an Interstitial Sometimes, Not Others — Rewriting Nested ifs Into a List of Independent Guards
Interstitial display on back press was unstable because nested if statements hid the priority between conditions. Here is how I split it into reason-returning guards and generated tests from a decision table.
Regression-Testing Antigravity Agent Output in CI
Agent output drifts between identical runs and turns CI red for no real reason. Here is how I stabilized snapshot regression testing for Antigravity agents using a normalization layer and pytest golden files, drawn from running it in my own indie developer CI.
Why Antigravity Agents Hang on ssh, sudo, and git rebase -i — Diagnosing and Permanently Fixing the Missing TTY Problem
When you ask an Antigravity agent to deploy, the terminal panel stops on 'password:' and never moves. The agent isn't broken — the shell behind it has no PTY, so interactive prompts have no one to answer them. Here's how to diagnose and remove every interactive command from your agent workflow.
Why Antigravity's Agent Keeps Referencing the Previous Repo After You Switch Projects — Diagnosis and Fix
When Antigravity carries leftover state from your previous project into a new one, the agent confidently edits files that don't belong to the current repo. Here's how to diagnose and prevent that context bleed.
