# Bug Report: Customizations Panel Empty + “no workspaces found” Error After 1.20.3 Update
## Environment
- **OS**: Windows 11 (x64)
- **Antigravity Version**: 1.20.3 (updated from a working version on ~March 6, 2026)
- **Previous Version**: Was working perfectly before the update (likely 1.19.x)
## Problem Description
After updating to Antigravity 1.20.3, **all workspace-level Rules and Workflows disappeared** from the Customizations panel. The panel shows completely empty — no rules, no workflows — even though the files exist on disk and are correctly structured.
Additionally, attempting to create a new rule via the `+ Workspace` button produces the following error:
> **Failed to create rule: ConnectError: [unknown] no workspaces found…**
### What’s broken:
1. **Customizations panel** → Rules tab is empty, Workflows tab is empty
2. **Slash commands** → Typing `/` in chat shows no workflow suggestions
3. **Creating new rules/workflows via UI** → Fails with “no workspaces found” error
4. **Terminal “Always proceed” setting** → Seems to have regressed; prompts for approval on every command
### What still works:
- The AI agent **does receive** the rules and workflows via the system prompt (verified — the agent can see all rules/workflows in its context)
- Files on disk are intact and correctly formatted
- The workspace folder opens normally; git, file editing, extensions all work fine
## File Structure (Verified Correct)
```
.agent/
├── rules/
│ ├── core-rules.md ← YAML frontmatter + markdown content 
│ └── style.md ← YAML frontmatter + markdown content
└── workflows/
├── commit.md ← YAML frontmatter + markdown content ✅
├── implement.md ← YAML frontmatter + markdown content ✅
├── plan.md ← YAML frontmatter + markdown content ✅
└── strategy-research.md ← YAML frontmatter + markdown content ✅
```
- `.agent/` is **NOT** in `.gitignore`
- All files have valid YAML frontmatter with `description` field
- All files were working perfectly on the previous version
## Troubleshooting Steps Attempted (All Failed)
| # | Attempted Fix | Result |
|—|--------------|--------|
| 1 | Added `!.agent/` to `.gitignore` (explicit un-ignore) | 
No effect |
| 2 | Deleted files from `.agent/`, restored from backup (file watcher trigger) | No effect |
| 3 | `Developer: Reload Window` | No effect |
| 4 | Restart Agent Service | No effect |
| 5 | Close workspace → Reopen workspace | No effect |
| 6 | Full Antigravity quit → Restart | No effect |
| 7 | Deleted `%APPDATA%\Antigravity\Cache` and `GPUCache` folders → Restart | No effect |
## Root Cause Analysis
The error message **“no workspaces found”** suggests that the 1.20.3 update broke the workspace registration/detection mechanism in the Customizations subsystem. The workspace is clearly open and functional (the agent works, files are accessible), but the Customizations panel and rule/workflow creation API cannot find it.
This appears to be a **regression introduced in 1.20.3**, not a configuration issue, since:
- The exact same setup worked on the previous version
- No configuration files were changed between the update and the bug appearing
- Multiple users on Reddit/Google Dev forums report the identical issue after updating to 1.20.3
## Expected Behavior
- Customizations panel should display all rules from `.agent/rules/`
- Customizations panel should display all workflows from `.agent/workflows/`
- `/` slash command should list available workflows
- `+ Workspace` button should successfully create new rules/workflows
## Workaround
The only confirmed workaround reported by other users is **downgrading to version 1.19.6**.
