Evidence record / antigravity

A dated record of one change, kept so the writing that cites it can be checked. Compiled from the sources listed below by the research run, not written for reading. The judgment lives in the issues that cite it, below.

2026-09-21-antigravity-default-gates-loosened-workspace-reads-auto-granted-1-1-20-always-proceed-now-covers-mcp

Default gates loosened: workspace reads auto-granted (1.1.20), always-proceed now covers MCP and page reads (1.1.21), headless runs auto-pass plan review (1.1.28). Three human gates were removed by default change, not by opt-in. The largest is MCP: before 1.1.21, always-proceed still stopped on MCP tool calls; after, any configured MCP server’s tools run unprompted in that mode. Headless plan review, previously a hang, is now auto-approval.

Channel: tagged-release. Half: both. Date: 2026-08-25, 2026-08-26, 2026-09-09.

Operator consequence: If you run always-proceed, re-audit mcp_config.json and plugin-bundled MCP servers as if every tool on them is pre-approved, because on >= 1.1.21 it is. If you relied on the implementation-plan approval as a checkpoint in -p runs, it no longer exists on >= 1.1.28. Workspace reads under default review no longer prompt; nothing to do unless your workspace root holds secrets.
