fix(server): sweep stale Antigravity _MEI orphans on Windows by macodev00 · Pull Request #12717 · pingdotgg/t3code

macodev00 · 2026-09-20T09:03:48Z

What

On Windows Antigravity driver start, one-shot sweep of host TEMP/TMP for stale Antigravity-marked _MEI* PyInstaller dirs (older than two days, skip locked/unmarked).

Why

Pre-#12008 leftovers (and any still-orphaned probe extracts) never got cleaned and could fill the disk. Health probe still does not spawn; this only reclaims marked orphans safely.

UI

N/A — server-side temp cleanup on driver create.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved Windows cleanup of stale Antigravity temporary files.
- Automatically removes old, recognized Antigravity temporary directories while preserving recent, unrelated, or unmarked directories.
- Cleans temporary locations configured through both TEMP and TMP without processing duplicates.
- Cleanup continues safely when temporary directories are missing or cannot be removed.
- Preserves directories that are exactly at the minimum age threshold.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds cleanup for stale, Antigravity-marked _MEI directories in legacy system temp paths. On Windows, AntigravityDriver.create resolves TEMP and TMP paths and sweeps them. Cleanup preserves unmarked directories, directories at or under the age cutoff, and directories it cannot remove.

Changes

Antigravity cleanup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Legacy temp cleanup utilities `apps/server/src/provider/acp/AntigravitySessionFiles.ts`, `apps/server/src/provider/acp/AntigravitySessionFiles.test.ts`	Adds unique `TEMP`/`TMP` resolution and cleanup for stale, marked `_MEI` directories. Tests cover marker and age filtering, the cutoff boundary, removal failures, and missing temp roots.
Windows driver integration `apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/AntigravityDriver.ts`, `apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/AntigravityDriver.test.ts`	Runs cleanup for each resolved temp path on Windows. A driver test verifies that cleanup removes a marked directory and preserves an unmarked directory.

Starting another Antigravity driver could damage the temporary bundle of a long-running session. Exclude live bundles before merging unless this risk is explicitly accepted.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 52b89

The cleanup is limited to old, marked directories on Windows, but it acts in host temporary locations rather than only in directories owned by an Antigravity instance. Those checks do not establish that every directory selected for deletion belongs to Antigravity.

Retained concerns

Medium · security · inferred: The new host-temp sweep can recursively delete an old, marked _MEI directory without proving it belongs to an orphaned Antigravity process. In a writable shared temp root, another actor's eligible directory or a directory changed between validation and removal could be affected under the server's filesystem authority. Actual cross-user exposure depends on deployment permissions and filesystem behavior.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

inferred — The maximum affected filesystem scope is qualifying entries under the server process's TEMP and TMP roots, deleted with the server's authority. Whether those roots include other users' or services' data is not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

inferred — An actor able to place or replace an eligible directory beneath a swept root could influence what the server deletes. This is a conditional path, not a verified cross-user exploit: root permissions, server privileges, and Windows reparse-point behavior remain unknown.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

observed — Provider-instance environment values do not directly choose cleanup roots. Windows gating, the _MEI prefix, age threshold, directory check, and specific markers narrow deletion, but do not bind a candidate to its creator at removal time.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

observed — Removal failure does not prevent driver creation, and a locked-directory test verifies that a failed removal can leave its contents intact. There is no atomic validation-and-delete or recovery of partially deleted contents in the helper.

Hardening Proposals

proposed — For shared or privileged deployments, constrain the approved temp roots and establish candidate ownership and stable identity before deletion. Verify the Windows filesystem implementation's reparse-point behavior and cover replacement between validation and removal.

Pre-pingdotgg#12008 health probes unpacked agy_acp_server.exe into %TEMP%\_MEI* and were killed before PyInstaller cleaned up. Profile isolation stopped new leaks but never deleted those leftovers. On Windows driver start, sweep host TEMP/TMP once: delete only _MEI* directories that have Antigravity markers, are older than two days, and are not locked. Unmarked dirs, dirs at or under the two-day cutoff, and locked dirs are left alone.

Skip _MEI directories that a live process still uses.

If an Antigravity process runs for more than two days, its marked _MEI directory can pass the cleaner’s age check. A second driver creation then starts recursive removal. Windows may block deletion of an in-use file, but that lock does not protect the directory’s other files. The running bundle can be left partially deleted. Establish that the bundle is no longer in use before removal; otherwise skip the directory. (nodejs.org)
