Conversation history not indexed/visible in Recent panel despite intact transcript/db files (recurring issue)

Google Antigravity

Description:
Chat conversations disappear from the “Search all convos” / Recent panel in Antigravity IDE, even though the underlying data files are fully intact on disk.

Details:

  • Conversation from 2026-08-28 (UUID: 4579c10f-3465-4f84-929b-b5cdfdc*****) does not appear in Recent/Search convos panel.
  • Underlying data IS present and intact:
    • .gemini/antigravity-ide/conversations/4579c10f-3465-4f84-929b-b5cdfdcabb8e.db (5.076 KB)
    • .gemini/antigravity-ide/brain/4579c10f-3465-4f84-929b-b5cdfdcabb8e/.system_generated/logs/transcript_full.jsonl (328 KB, complete)
  • Tried: full app restart (not just window reload), closing all editors/folders, checking across multiple workspaces (blibli & argocd) — issue persists.
  • This is a recurring issue: a similar mass-disappearance of chat history happened in July 2026, right after an app update.
  • Expected: all past conversations should remain browsable in Recent/Search convos regardless of which workspace/folder is currently open (similar to how Copilot Chat history works across projects).

Environment:

  • OS: Windows
  • version: Antigravity IDE 2.5.5

Hi @Akun_Rasyid ,

Thank you for reporting this issue and sharing your environment details.

We attempted to reproduce this issue by following your exact steps (verifying intact `.db` and `transcript_full.jsonl` files against the Past Conversations UI panel across app restarts and workspace switches).

On our end, the issue is NOT reproducible — all past conversation databases existing on disk are fully indexed and accessible in the Past Conversations panel.

Since your conversation files are intact on disk, this issue is likely caused by a localized index file corruption or file permission lock on your environment. Please try the following steps to resolve it:

1. Verify Directory Permissions:

  • Ensure your OS user account has full Read & Write permissions for:
    `%USERPROFILE%\.gemini\antigravity-ide\conversations\`

2. Clear Session Index Cache:

  • Close Antigravity IDE.

  • Navigate to `%USERPROFILE%\.gemini\antigravity-ide\`.

  • Delete or rename the cache/index file (`conversations_index.db` or chat_session_cache.json`).

  • Re-open Antigravity IDE so it triggers a fresh rescan of all `.db` files on disk.

3. Check Crash Logs

  • Inspect `%USERPROFILE%\.gemini\antigravity-ide\crashes\` for any SQLite file-locking or permission error logs.

If the issue persists after clearing the index cache, please reply with any console logs generated when opening the Past Conversations panel.
