The August 14 release also fixed unbounded SQLite growth and a bug that over-pruned trajectory history in Google's coding CLI.
Why now: This lands in the August 16 briefing that covers Google's August 14 changelog update.
Google shipped Antigravity CLI 1.1.13 on August 14, adding direct authentication through a GEMINI_API_KEY, per its changelog. That closes the interactive Google-login wall that had blocked the tool from running in CI and headless environments.
The update also fixes a bug where trajectory truncation over-pruned agent history, and it stops unbounded growth in Antigravity's local SQLite storage. Smaller changes round out 1.1.13: fallback resilience for /codesearch calls, scrollable cached artifact lists, and task management for custom agents.
Antigravity Desktop shipped two patches, 2.8.0 and 2.8.1, for crashes triggered by opening conversations with large command outputs. That makes Antigravity the second vendor in a week to fix that exact failure mode. Antigravity's changelog doesn't name the other vendor, so whether one copied the other isn't clear.
The API-key path matters most for CI and headless setups, the exact environments the login wall blocked. Update to 1.1.13 to get it along with the SQLite and trajectory-history fixes.
