Antigravity stays in Thought Process? Capture progress before restarting.

A repeated planning display does not show whether an agent is making progress, waiting for approval, or failing to invoke a tool. Check the visible state and repository before changing settings.

Do this first: Save open files and inspect the current diff. Record the last plan update, any approval prompt, and whether a tool action or terminal command actually started.

What the failure looks like.

The Thought Process panel repeats or grows while the expected file, terminal, or verification action is not visible.

Why it happens.

No matching, verifiable primary report for this exact Antigravity symptom is cited in this guide. Ambiguous goals, approvals, network delays, and UI stalls are hypotheses to test, not known causes.

Fix it without losing the task.

Record the Antigravity version, platform, task scope, and last visible Thought Process update. Check for an approval or permission request.
Inspect the worktree and terminal to see whether a tool action began or files changed. Avoid replaying the same broad prompt while that state is unclear.
If safe, wait for one bounded interval and note whether the plan or process state changes. Capture the result rather than assuming the interface is frozen.
If restarting is necessary, preserve the diff and provide the next session with one concrete action and a visible completion check.

What the next AI should receive.

Antigravity version and platform, task prompt if shareable, last plan update, approval state, whether a tool call started, current diff, and what changed during a timed observation.

First safe action

Check whether the agent is awaiting an approval or showing a tool call. Preserve the project diff and capture the last visible state before cancelling or restarting.

Evidence boundary

The prior generic discussion/support links did not substantiate a specific defect, version range, or root cause. This guide is an observation and recovery checklist, not a verified Antigravity incident report.

Diagnostic checkpoint

Do not infer a planning loop from repeated text alone. Compare plan changes, tool activity, approval state, and file changes over a bounded interval.

How ShardStitch helps.

ShardStitch can package locally saved project state, the task goal, and failed attempts for a fresh session. It cannot inspect Antigravity internal reasoning, determine why a tool did not run, or recover unsaved remote state.

Evidence note.

No matching primary report or official troubleshooting article for this exact Thought Process symptom is cited for this precise behavior. Generic discussion/support landing pages are not cited as evidence of an Antigravity defect.

FAQ.

Does repeated Thought Process text prove Antigravity is in a planning loop?

No. Check whether the plan changes, a tool call starts, approval is pending, or files change. Without those observations, the cause is unknown.

Is there a verified fix for this exact Antigravity symptom?

No matching primary report or official troubleshooting article for this precise behavior is available in this guide. Do not present a guessed setting change as a confirmed fix.

Scope note: This page gives a careful workflow for a reported Thought Process symptom. No matching primary issue or official troubleshooting article for this precise behavior is cited, so the cause remains unknown.
