🚨 [CRITICAL BUG] Agent Panel Crashes to "Drag a view here" & Freezes IDE on Startup / Reopening App

[abdifahadi]

Hi Google Antigravity Team,

A severe bug completely freezes the IDE during startup or reopening, even without actively opening a project.

Problem Behavior:

• On Startup / Reopen: Opening the app (even staying on the Home / Project List page), closing it, and reopening it causes the Agent Panel to crash.
• Symptom: The right Agent sidebar unmounts to “Drag a view here to display”, followed by a hard freeze: “The window is not responding”.
• It also triggers immediately whenever any workspace/project is opened.

Tested Attempts (Failed):

1. Clean Reinstall: Completely uninstalled (including Revo Uninstaller) and cleared all %AppData%\Antigravity, %LocalAppData%, and .antigravity folders.
2. Version Rollbacks: Tested v1.19.4, v1.22.2, and v1.23.2 on fresh installs — issue recurs upon second launch/restart.
3. Settings & Cache: Disabled auto-update (update.mode: "none"), locked pending folder, cleared workspaceStorage, and reset view locations.

Root Cause:

Global State / Layout State corruption during Agent Sidebar View initialization when the app restarts or mounts a workspace.

Please investigate this startup Agent View initialization bug urgently!

Same here Version 1.23.2 suddenly won’t even start and is completely frozen.

What should I do? Please fix this.

Open your terminal and wipe out the local workspace state, caches, and configuration directories to trigger a clean reset:
rm -rf ~/.config/Antigravity
rm -rf ~/.antigravity
rm -rf ~/.gemini/config/config.json
