The most useful looking suggestion from the Reddit thread: turn of "Terminal Command Auto Execution."

1. Go to File > Preferences > Antigravity Settings

2. In the "Agent" panel, in the "Terminal" section, find "Terminal Command Auto Execution"

3. Consider using "Off"

Does it default to on? Clearly this was made by a different team than Gemini CLI, which defaults to confirmation for all commands

Most of the various "let Antigravity do X without confirmation" options have an "Always" and "Never" option but default to "auto" which is "let an agent decide whether to seek to user confirmation".

God that's scary, seeing cursor in the past so some real stupid shit to "solve" write/read issues (love when it can't find something in a file so it decides to write the whole file again) this is just asking for heartache if it's not in a instanced server.

When you run Antigravity the first time, it asks you for a profile (I don't remember the exact naming) and you what it entails w.r.t. the level of command execution confirmation is well explained.

Yeah but it also says something like "Auto (recommended). We'll automatically make sure Antigravity doesn't run dangerous commands." so they're strongly encouraging people to enable it, and suggesting they have some kind of secondary filter which should catch things like this!

Given the bug was a space in an unquoted file path, I’m not sure air execution is the problem. Going to be hard to humans to catch that too.

This is speculation currently, the actual reason has not been determined

Pretty sure I saw some comments saying it was too inconvenient. Frictionless experience.. Convenience will likely win out despite any insanity. It's like gravity. I can't even pretend to be above this. Even if one doesn't use these things to write code they are very useful in "read only mode" (here's to hoping that's more than a strongly worded system prompt) for greping code, researching what x does. How to do x. What do you think the intention of x was. Look through the git blame history blah blah. And here I am like that cop in Demolition Man 1993 asking a handheld computer for advice on how to arrest someone. We're living in a sci-fi future already. Question is how dystopian does this "progress" take us. Everyone using llms to off load any form of cognitive function? Can't talk to someone without it being as common place as checking your phone? Imagine if something like Neuralink works and becomes ubiquitous as phones. It's fun to think of all the ways Dystopian sci-fi was and might soon me right
