Fixes #12206

Fixes #12206 and the Windows sign-in failure in #12473, which were reported after #12008 shipped in nightlies. @javiergusart found the root cause in a comment on #9624. Issue 9624 should stay open: it was filed on 2026-09-04, before #12008, and its original report is the separate browser-handoff problem (sign-in URL not reaching T3 through stderr, see #10704). Supersedes #13317 by @javiergusart (credited as co-author); #13317 also sends install validation's temp into an unswept root, which leaks about 1.16 GiB per install. This version keeps validation's own cleanup and adds a regression test.

Release note: #12008 is in nightlies but not in stable v0.0.42. It must not reach stable without this fix, or every Windows user without long paths enabled loses Antigravity entirely.

Problem

#12008 pointed Antigravity's TEMP/TMP at a per-process directory under the provider profile, so orphaned PyInstaller extractions stop filling %TEMP%. On Windows that profile is already about 120 characters deep:

C:\Users\<you>\.t3\userdata\providers\antigravity\<64-hex>\antigravity-acp\tmp\run-XXXXXX\_MEIxxxxxxxx\

The official 1.1.1 bundle unpacks members up to 120 characters long (google3\cloud\developer_experience\antigravity_extensions\acp_server\_private__agy_acp_server_bin.lazy_imports_info.json). The deepest file lands at 278+ characters. Without Windows long paths enabled, which is the default, the bootloader cannot create it and exits within half a second, before ACP starts. Users see:

Managed install still passed, because install validation used a short %TEMP%\t3-antigravity-validate-* profile.

Fix

Put each instance's runtime temp root beside its profile instead of inside it: <state dir>\antigravity-tmp\<first 12 hex of the instance hash>. The profile path, and so everyone's saved Google sign-in, is unchanged. The deepest file drops from 286 to 208 characters on the CI runner. Per-process run-* directories and the driver-start sweep are unchanged. The sweep also clears the old in-profile root once, for hosts with long paths enabled that did unpack there.

resolveAntigravityInstanceDirectories replaces the two node:crypto/node:path helpers with one Effect.fn on the Crypto and Path services, so tests can check Windows paths on any host with NodePath.layerWin32. Install validation is unchanged from main: its scoped temp profile already cleans up the unpack.

Evidence: real runtime on Windows

Run on the repo's Windows CI runner (run). It uses Google's official agy_acp_server_1.1.1-windows-x86_64.zip (SHA-256 verified) and the desktop's real %USERPROFILE%\.t3\userdata layout. For each temp root it spawns agy_acp_server.exe with the exact environment buildAntigravityAcpSpawnInput produces, then sends initialize:

LongPathsEnabled Temp root Deepest path Result
0 (Windows default) main: inside the profile 286 exits in 1.3 s, code 4294967295
0 (Windows default) this PR: beside the profile 208 initialize answered
1 main: inside the profile 286 initialize answered
1 this PR 208 initialize answered

stderr from the main launch:

[PYI-7304:ERROR] Failed to extract google3\cloud\developer_experience\antigravity_extensions\acp_server\_private__agy_acp_server_bin.lazy_imports_info.json: failed to open target file!
fopen: No such file or directory

The probe lived on a scratch branch and is not part of this PR.

Verification

  • A new unit test pins the deepest member of the 1.1.1 Windows bundle. It checks that the extracted path stays under 260 characters for a 20-character user name, on any host via NodePath.layerWin32. It fails on the old in-profile layout (295). The same test pins the profile path for the default instance, so existing sign-ins can't move.
  • The driver sweep test covers both the new root and the old in-profile root.
  • The antigravityAuthSupport, AntigravityDriver and AntigravityInstallation suites pass. One test (AntigravityInstallation "honors explicit paths…") also fails on main on macOS, because /var resolves to /private/var. CI runs on Linux.
  • Server typecheck; lint on changed files.

Devin Review

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Antigravity instances now use distinct profile and runtime temporary directories, including when instance IDs differ only by letter case.
    • Runtime files are cleaned up from both the current temporary location and the legacy profile location.
    • Windows runtime paths are kept within long-path limits, improving compatibility with deeply nested installations.

#12008 pointed the agent's TEMP at a per-process directory under the
provider profile. On Windows that profile already sits ~120 characters
deep, and the PyInstaller bundle unpacks members up to 120 characters
long, so the deepest file lands at 278+ characters. Without long paths
enabled the bootloader fails to extract it and exits before ACP starts,
which surfaces as a failed Google sign-in, a health check that never
leaves "not checked yet", or "ACP process exited with code 4294967295"
at session start. Managed install validation used a short system temp
profile, so installs still passed.

Root the Windows runtime temp at <system temp>\t3-agy\<profile hash>,
keep the per-process run- directories and the driver-start sweep, sweep
the old in-profile root once, and remove the validation run's directory
now that it no longer lives inside the disposable profile.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at dc28116

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a narrowly scoped Windows MAX_PATH bug fix that relocates only Antigravity’s per-process unpack directory while preserving the existing profile and sign-in location. Cleanup compatibility for both new and legacy directories is included, with regression tests covering path length, isolation, and validation cleanup.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Antigravity now resolves profile and runtime temp directories together from the instance ID hash. Profile preparation defaults to a profile-local temp directory on all platforms. Driver startup cleans both the runtime temp directory and the legacy profile-local directory.

Changes

Antigravity temporary-directory handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve Antigravity instance directories
apps/server/src/provider/antigravityAuthSupport.ts, apps/server/src/provider/antigravityAuthSupport.test.ts
The resolver derives profile and runtime temp paths from an instance ID hash. Profile preparation defaults to a profile-local temp directory on all platforms. Tests cover case variants and Windows path lengths.
Remove orphaned runtime directories
apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/AntigravityDriver.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/AntigravityDriver.test.ts, apps/server/src/provider/acp/AntigravitySessionFiles.ts
Driver startup cleans the resolved runtime temp directory and legacy profile-local directory, then passes the runtime temp path to profile preparation. Tests check cleanup under both roots. Session-file documentation describes per-process runtime temp directories under an instance root.
Use the validation profile as temp directory
apps/server/src/provider/AntigravityInstallation.ts, apps/server/src/provider/AntigravityInstallation.test.ts
Installation validation passes its scoped profile directory as the temp directory. A test checks that non-helper runtime commands receive the disposable profile as TMPDIR.

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to dc281

The runtime currently uses the shorter Windows extraction path, but this validation test would not catch a regression that restores the deep-path startup failure. Add Windows TEMP and TMP assertions before relying on this test as regression protection.

Validation unpacked into a root named after its random profile, so a
removal that failed (a scanner holding a handle after the kill) left
about 1 GB nothing would reclaim. Use one short root per install
directory, cleared before and after each run; installs run one at a
time. Also update the sweep's comment now that Windows roots live in
the system temp directory.

Thanks for taking this over and improving it. Appreciate the co-author credit.

Replaces the Windows-only system-temp root and the hand-managed
validation temp with one resolver on Crypto and Path: the runtime temp
root now sits beside the profile under the state directory, short enough
for Windows' path limit on every platform. Validation keeps main's
scoped profile, which already cleans up after itself, and the
HostProcessTempDirectory reference is gone.

Validation's runtime unpacked under <profile>/antigravity-acp/tmp in the
system temp directory, which overflows Windows' path limit for user names
longer than 46 characters. Its profile is already a scoped temp directory
that cleans up the unpack, so use it as the temp root directly.

Assert the Windows temporary-directory variables in the validation fixture.

The validation runtime receives TEMP and TMP on Windows, but this test checks only TMPDIR. A regression that omits profileDirectory from tempDirectory can therefore pass this assertion on Windows while the runtime extracts under the default temporary path. Assert both Windows variables for the non-helper process.
