Problem

When the Antigravity runtime dies during sign-in, Settings > Providers > Antigravity says "Google sign-in failed. Start sign-in again." (or "Antigravity could not authenticate with the configured credentials." for API-key setups). The reporter's official Linux ACP binary sometimes dies with SIGILL before it answers initialize, so T3 blamed their Google account for a crash.

Reproduced on main (5fe18d7) with a fresh dev server: the Antigravity binary path pointed at a stand-in runtime that runs kill -ILL $$, then Sign in. The Account row showed "Google sign-in failed. Start sign-in again." The ACP runtime had already reported AcpProcessExitedError { signal: "SIGILL" }, but safeAuthFailure did not recognise it and fell through to the generic Google message.

Change

safeAuthFailure in apps/server/src/provider/AntigravityAuth.ts now handles AcpProcessExitedError before the request-error checks. It returns "Antigravity exited unexpectedly (SIGILL). Try again.", or "… with code N" when there is no signal. Browser and credential sign-in both use it. The message never includes the runtime's stderr. This changes only the message; the upstream crash is in Google's binary.

Scope and approval

Fixes #28345

Triaged via the automated issue flow.

Verification

  • vp test run apps/server/src/provider/AntigravityAuth.test.ts: the new test says Antigravity exited when its process dies during sign-in fails on main with expected 'Google sign-in failed. Start sign-in …' to include 'exited' and passes with the fix (18/18 in the file).
  • vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck and tests all pass.
  • Runtime check in the web app with the SIGILL stand-in runtime, Settings > Providers > Antigravity > Sign in:
    • Before (main 5fe18d7): Google sign-in failed. Start sign-in again.
    • After (bd9bb61): Antigravity exited unexpectedly (SIGILL). Try again.
  • The reporter's A/B with the official ACP 1.4.1 and 1.4.5 binaries (initialize only, 12 runs each at normal affinity, taskset -c 0-2 and taskset -c 0-11) answered initialize 72/72 times on this 16-CPU x86-64 host. The crash depends on the host, so the stand-in runtime is used for the T3 side.
  • Not checked: the message on mobile (it renders the same server string), the exit-code wording in the app (covered only by reading the code), and before/after screenshots, which are not attached.

…ogle sign-in

Antigravity sign-in that fails because the runtime process exited (SIGILL)
is reported as "Google sign-in failed". These tests reproduce #28345.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
When the Antigravity ACP process exits before it answers (for example the
Linux binary dying with SIGILL), sign-in reported "Google sign-in failed" or
a credentials error. safeAuthFailure now recognises AcpProcessExitedError and
says Antigravity exited, naming the signal or exit code, without stderr.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at a249cf7

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Antigravity sign-in now identifies a runtime exit instead of showing a generic authentication failure. This only changes the failure message and includes exit metadata without exposing runtime stderr.

No code changes detected at 2d6e3b2. Prior analysis still applies.

Walkthrough

Antigravity authentication failure handling now recognizes ACP process-exit errors. It reports an unexpected exit and includes the signal or exit code when available. A test checks that the SIGILL message does not expose stderr or use generic Google sign-in failure wording.

Changes: Antigravity authentication errors

Layer / File(s) Summary
ACP process-exit failure reporting
apps/server/src/provider/AntigravityAuth.ts, apps/server/src/provider/AntigravityAuth.test.ts
The failure handler recognizes ACP process-exit errors and includes the signal, or the exit code if no signal is available. The test checks that the SIGILL message omits stderr and Google sign-in failure wording.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem, change, linked issue, and focused verification, including reported test results and checks not performed. Scope and approval is only partly documented: it links the issue and notes automated triage, but gives no explicit maintainer approval or explanation of why the fix qualifies as an obvious small bug.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The change meets the reporting objective in #28345: safeAuthFailure now identifies AcpProcessExitedError and reports its signal or exit code. The new test checks the SIGILL message and confirms that stderr is not exposed. However, #28345 concerns Linux provider sessions that fail to start. Its documented CPU-affinity wrapper is the workaround that allows the official ACP runtime to initialize. This PR only changes the sign-in message, so the startup failure and inability to open affected sessions remain.

Resolution

Implement the documented CPU-affinity workaround for the Antigravity executable, with automated coverage, or provide another code change that enables affected ACP sessions to start. Keep the safe runtime-exit message.

Evidence

Linux Chromium web client, 1280×800, light theme, fresh synthetic state on both commits. Configure an executable ACP stand-in that exits with SIGILL before initialize, retaining its localharness_external sibling. In Settings > Providers > Antigravity, enable the provider, set Binary path, and select Sign in using Google account authentication.

Proven: scenarios:prove exited 0, failing on base and passing on head. Base blames Google; head identifies the runtime signal. The stand-in's stderr marker is absent from both account messages.

Before After
Commit c90b67859a 2d6e3b2c2e
Account status Before: Google sign-in failure After: runtime SIGILL identified
Recording Before sign-in After sign-in

Scenario source, including executable fixture

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Not shown:

  • Numeric exit-code and unspecified-exit messages were not exercised; this reproduction uses SIGILL.
  • Credential authentication was not exercised; this reproduction uses Google-account browser authentication.
  • The actual Antigravity binary was unavailable; the requested executable stand-in exercised its real server sign-in path.
