Fixes

Fixes #9650

What Changed

  • Replaced full process spawning (makeDisposableRuntime + runtime.initialize()) in AntigravityDriver.probe with static installation resolution (installation.resolve(settings.binaryPath, processEnvironment)).
  • Isolated Windows child process TEMP and TMP environment variables to <profile>/antigravity-acp/tmp so real chat sessions unpack outside the user's system temp directory.
  • Added cleanOrphanedAntigravityTempDirs in AntigravitySessionFiles.ts to sweep dead PyInstaller _MEI* folders from the session directory and system %TEMP% on driver initialization and teardown (ignoring active files locked with EBUSY/EPERM).
  • Added unit tests in AntigravityDriver.test.ts and antigravityAuthSupport.test.ts.

Why

On Windows, Google's agy_acp_server.exe is a single-file PyInstaller executable that unpacks ~860 MB of dependencies into %TEMP%\_MEIxxxxxx on startup.

Because T3's background health probe periodically runs every 30–60 seconds and drops/terminates the probe process before PyInstaller's exit handlers complete, orphaned ~860 MB directories accumulated at ~1–2 folders per minute (over 50 GB per day on active Windows machines), eventually exhausting user disk space.

This PR makes Antigravity's health probe lightweight and static (matching how other providers check readiness without launching processes) and isolates session temp storage to prevent system temp pollution.

Note: Unlike #9626, this avoids spawning the ~860MB PyInstaller process on periodic health checks entirely, saving CPU and disk thrashing every minute while still isolating and cleaning session temporary directories.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved provider health checks to report authentication and executable setup issues more accurately.
    • Improved Antigravity startup reliability by cleaning up leftover temporary files.
    • Enhanced Windows profile isolation with a dedicated temporary directory for Antigravity operations.
    • Strengthened executable validation by rejecting unsafe paths containing placeholder sequences.
    • Snapshot refreshes can now confirm installation status without launching an additional process.

🟠 High provider/antigravityAuthSupport.ts:311

Browser suppression fails when runtimeExecutablePath contains %s: browserCommand passes that path through BROWSER, and Python's webbrowser substitutes every %s as the URL placeholder, including the one inside the executable path. Keep rejecting %s in helperExecutable so sign-in still launches the intended T3 executable.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR changes production health-check and process-launch behavior and adds recursive cleanup in shared temporary storage. The cleanup and executable-path changes carry material runtime risk, with unresolved high-severity findings requiring human assessment.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Antigravity driver now cleans orphaned temporary directories, uses profile-local Windows temporary paths, and probes installations by refreshing the manifest and resolving the executable without launching a process. Tests cover resolution, snapshot reporting, and Windows environment variables.

Changes

Antigravity runtime handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Temporary-directory cleanup
apps/server/src/provider/acp/AntigravitySessionFiles.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/AntigravityDriver.ts
Session cleanup removes orphaned _MEI directories from profile and eligible system temporary directories. Driver creation invokes this cleanup and ignores failures.
Profile-local Windows temporary directories
apps/server/src/provider/antigravityAuthSupport.ts, apps/server/src/provider/antigravityAuthSupport.test.ts
Windows profiles create a private temporary directory and set both TEMP and TMP to it. The test verifies both environment variables.
Manifest refresh and executable resolution
apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/AntigravityDriver.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/AntigravityDriver.test.ts
The probe refreshes the model manifest, maps configuration and resolution failures to setup errors, and returns static capabilities with the resolved executable version. Tests verify snapshot reporting without launching or acquiring a process.

Windows installations that configure TEMP and TMP differently can retain orphaned Antigravity temporary directories under TMP. This is bounded cleanup incompleteness and is mergeable with owner awareness.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Sweep both configured system temporary directories.

process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP skips TMP whenever TEMP exists. If the directories differ, an orphaned _MEI* directory under TMP remains. Iterate over the unique nonempty values of both variables.

…folders (#12008)

The health probe launched the PyInstaller ACP binary every minute and force killed it, leaving about 1 GB of _MEI files per run. The probe now resolves the install on disk without spawning. Each ACP process gets its own temp directory under the profile that is removed when the runtime closes, and the driver sweeps the profile temp root on create.

Continues #11657 by Vita Skacel. Owned temp directory approach from #9626 by ariszz.

Superseded by #12008, which landed the probe/no-spawn fix and profile-scoped temp cleanup for #9650 (continuing this PR's approach). Closing this as superseded.
