I am reporting a severe, system-terminating memory leak and CPU thrashing issue directly within the Antigravity IDE. Running a **single agent workflow** inside the editor completely destabilizes the OS and has forced **10 consecutive macOS kernel panics/hard reboots**. Even while the agent is completely idle, the IDE’s background runner immediately spikes to **100% CPU utilization**. Concurrently, the IDE’s memory allocation balloons rapidly, hitting over **130 GB of RAM allocation**. Because the host machine has 64GB of physical unified memory, the IDE aggressively forces over 65GB of SSD swap allocation until the macOS kernel watchdog times out and panics the system. **Additional Context:** This catastrophic failure happens during a completely trivial task: **generating a codebase report on a basic, 10-file project.** Environment & Hardware Details: Device: Mac mini (M4 Pro) Physical Memory: 64 GB Unified RAM OS: macOS (Apple Silicon Architecture) Application: Antigravity IDE (Single agent task) ---

I too can attest to this grievance; ultimately, I was compelled to abandon the IDE, as it had become intolerable. ---

I’m also having 100% CPU utilization merely running the IDE without doing anything, running on Linux instead of MacOS ---

It is because of the new antigravirty’s SECURE CODE built in extension. ---

@chunduriv ok, updated, but I can’t find SecureCoder anymore. ---

Hi @salvatorecorvaglia, The Secure Coder extension caused the memory exhaustion issues in version 2.0.3 and it has been removed in the latest release. Are you still seeing any memory issues on the new version? ---

The issue still persist for me, on Antigravity 2.5.5 On a 2020 Macbook Pro M1
