Accomplished-fact update to the multi-window "Antigravity succession" thread. Per Google's own announcement (2026-05-19), consumer Gemini CLI stopped serving requests on 2026-06-18 -- AI Pro/Ultra, free individual Code Assist, and new GitHub-org installs. Enterprise Code Assist (Standard/Enterprise or via Google Cloud) retained access, and the open-source gemini-cli repo remains Apache-2.0 and enterprise-serving, which is why it kept shipping in-window (v0.49.0, 2026-06-25; nightlies through 06-30). The succession is tiered: consumer dark, enterprise kept, OSS repo active. Prior digests framed this as prospective ("may be entering a managed succession") even after the shutdown had occurred; this finding records it as executed. Detail and the correction live in harvest/watchlist.md and content/corrections.md.
