Removing live terminal chat output from the agent chat is the worst UX regression Antigravity has shipped.
I understand the rationale: vibe coders don’t need it.
Fine. But instead of a toggle, you hard-removed it for EVERYONE.
No setting, no opt-out. It was a UI-only change – the data is still there. You chose not to show it.
Screenshot shows all the stupidity in a few lines of interaction.
Having to manually ask the agent “is the process still going?” because I cannot see the terminal output myself. This is the workflow you created.
Now I am flying blind. No exit codes, no live output, no way to see what the agent is actually doing.
I am working around it with /tmp file hacks, or pasting the commands into a new terminal on my own.
The fix is trivially simple: Settings, Agent, Show terminal output in chat: ON/OFF.
Vibe coders keep it off. Everyone else turns it on. Done.
This was a hard change where a toggle was obvious.
If this does not come back as a real setting, I am switching to a competitor.
There are several waiting.
