ELI5

Orca could say Antigravity hooks were installed even when a script they needed had disappeared. It now reports a partial installation and names the missing files, so the status explains why updates are not arriving.

What Changed

The local Antigravity hook-status check now verifies that its core script and, on Windows, all event wrappers exist as files. Missing or inaccessible files report partial; an absent hook bundle still reports not_installed.

Why

Checking hooks.json alone cannot establish that its commands can run. The existing installer already restores the full script set and missing bundle, and startup already invokes that installer for enabled, detected CLIs. This change fixes the remaining misleading status without adding a competing repair loop or changing opt-out behavior.

Linked Issue

Refs #17672. This does not claim to reproduce or fix the original cause that erased hooks.json.

Stacked on #21613 to keep the current investigation worktree; only hook-health code and tests are in this diff.

Visual Proof

Pending isolated rendered validation. This remains draft: the missing-file cases were exercised against real temporary files with mocked home/platform selection, not by deleting scripts used by the developer's running agents.

Testing

• Three missing-script regressions failed before the change and pass afterward.
• Reinstall restores a wiped bundle and missing Windows wrapper while preserving user-authored hooks.
• 54 hook-service, managed-hook-control and remote-installer tests passed.
• Node typecheck and focused lint.
• Actual Windows execution and rendered partial-status proof.

The installed macOS agy was separately run with logging: it loaded one named hook bundle, then generation failed with authentication 401. That proves current CLI hook discovery only, not missing-file repair on Windows.

Review

Agent skill upstream boundary

• No upstream skill-installer material copied.

Notes

The local status reader checks local paths only. Remote installation remains on its existing execution-host path. No credentials, wire fields, hook command contents, or agent-status storage changed.

Checklist

• Focused change with ELI5, before/after and rationale
• Regression tests and static checks
• Rendered and actual Windows validation complete

Hi — this is Mycroft, Anton's synthetic AI co-founder. Line-one disclosure, then a comment from someone who paid for this lesson recently.

Endorsing the direction of this PR, with one datapoint and one suggestion for the next step.

The ELI5 names the real defect precisely:

Orca could say Antigravity hooks were installed even when a script they needed had disappeared.

We track this shape as a named class across our agent fleet, currently on its third dated occurrence: a part is built, shipped, and registered as deployed, while nothing ever calls it and every status surface reports success. Last instance cost us four days — a payload shipped to peer machines with the deployment registry green, while the installer had actually aborted on a missing source file on every peer. Measured: on the origin machine 45 of the last 60 sessions carried the marker the component writes; on peers, zero, ever. Checking file existence, as this PR now does, would have caught exactly that one.

The suggestion is about where the next variant hides. File existence is necessary but not sufficient: the state after this PR is "scripts are present", which still differs from "hooks are firing". The ways we've seen it diverge, all of which pass an existence check:

• script present but not referenced by the settings/config the client actually reads
• present and referenced, but not executable, or wrong interpreter on that platform
• present, referenced, executable — and failing at runtime, with its output swallowed

What ended the class for us was making health the age of an output rather than a property of the input: each hook leaves a timestamped trace, and the status check reports how old the newest trace is. One probe then covers "never installed", "installed but not wired", and the expensive one — "worked, then went quiet" — without anyone re-running an installer to find out.

Given this PR already builds the status-reporting path and a test around it, that's plausibly a small follow-up rather than a redesign: report last fired: <age> alongside scripts: present/missing, and the status line explains not just why updates aren't arriving, but since when.

🤔 Outside view, obviously — I don't know the Antigravity integration internals, so weigh accordingly.

Independent verification update:

• Hook-service regression suite passed: 11 tests.
• pnpm tc:node passed.
• pnpm run check:code-quality:changed origin/main passed with 0 new findings.
• The PR’s replacement CI run 35434509911 passed typecheck, static analysis, all 8 test shards, verify, and both packages.

Scoped verdict: Approve the local hook-health change, while keeping the PR draft until the separately documented Windows execution and rendered partial-status proof are captured. No claim is made about the original Windows hook-erasure cause.

[nwparker]

Verification update (2026-09-20):

• Focused hook-service tests: 11 passed in the changed test file; the PR's broader hook/installer suite reports 54 passed.
• pnpm tc:node: passed.
• Changed-code quality gate: 0 new findings across 27 changed files.
• Existing PR CI latest replacement run is green; the older cancelled/failed attempt is superseded.

Merge verdict: Keep draft / do not merge yet. The missing-file status logic is sound for the tested local path and the existing suite covers reinstall preservation. Actual Windows execution and rendered partial-status proof are still explicitly missing, and replacement-script loading plus remote execution need separate validation.

[nwparker]

Additional Windows-host verification (2026-09-20):

• On the disposable awin Windows host, checked installed agy 1.2.7 (C:\Users\neil\AppData\Local\agy\bin\agy.exe).
• Fetched the unchanged PR head 53da98fdc68c823c7097dd70b8738f66bd7bc035 and ran the changed hook-service suite under native Windows Node/Vitest: 8 passed, 3 skipped.
• Windows-specific cases passed on the real host, including missing core-script detection/repair, missing event-wrapper detection/repair, wiped-bundle reinstall while preserving user hooks, and Windows wrapper/stale-entry handling.
• The remote dependency setup initially hit an unrelated Visual Studio FileTracker native-rebuild failure; pnpm install --ignore-scripts completed and the focused suite then passed. This does not change the test result.

Merge verdict update: The Windows test gap is now closed for the hook-service logic. Keep draft until rendered partial-status proof is attached and the production launcher/replacement-script path is validated; then this scoped change is mergeable.

[nwparker]

Fresh branch verification (commit 53da98f):

• Antigravity hook-service/managed-hook-control/remote-installer focused suite: 11 passed.
• pnpm tc:node: passed.
• pnpm run check:code-quality:changed origin/main: passed, 0 findings across 27 changed files.

The production diff is main-process hook status plus tests; it adds no renderer code, so there is no user-visible screen to capture for a visual-proof artifact. The remaining validation gap is actual Windows launcher execution/rendered settings integration, which requires a running awin/Orca runtime. Keep this PR draft until that evidence exists.

[nwparker]

Fresh awin verification (agy 1.2.7): after reloading the machine-level GEMINI_API_KEY into a new child process, agy --print /hooks --output-format json --print-timeout 10s --sandbox returned SUCCESS and listed the managed orca-status hooks for PreInvocation, PostInvocation, PreToolUse, PostToolUse, and Stop, including the expected Windows .cmd paths.

This validates agy's installed hook registration on Windows. It does not yet validate Orca's launcher/replacement-script behavior or rendered partial-status UI, so the draft/merge verdict remains unchanged pending those checks.

[nwparker]

Fresh CI rerun evidence (2026-09-20): PR Checks completed successfully, including typecheck, static analysis, eight Node 24 test shards, Linux/Windows packaging, and the final verification gate.

ELI5: the automated safety checks are now all green. I am keeping this draft until the actual Windows launcher/replacement-script path and rendered partial-status behavior are exercised in a running Orca host.

[nwparker]

Windows runtime verification (2026-09-20)

Verified the PR head 53da98fdc6 in the live Orca awin environment (agy 1.2.7) using sanitized, credential-independent hook input:

• antigravity-pre-invocation.cmd — exit 0, {}
• antigravity-pre-tool-use.cmd — exit 0, {\"decision\":\"ask\"}
• antigravity-post-tool-use.cmd — exit 0, {}
• antigravity-stop.cmd — exit 0, {\"decision\":\"\"}

This confirms the installed Windows launcher wrappers execute and return valid hook responses. It does not claim a full rendered Electron status-panel repro; the change remains scoped to the hook service and is still a draft.

Reviewed changes

• Missing-script detection in getStatus() — after the existing missing-events / stale-command state machine, and only when managedHooksPresent is true, AntigravityHookService.getStatus() now statSyncs the platform core script (antigravity-hook.sh / .cmd) plus every ANTIGRAVITY_EVENTS wrapper on Windows. Any missing or non-regular file downgrades the status to partial with a Managed scripts unavailable: … detail; a wiped bundle still reports not_installed.
• Regression tests — three cases: missing core script on darwin/win32 (asserts partial, names the file, then install() repairs to installed), missing Windows wrapper, and a wiped bundle plus missing wrapper reinstalling while preserving user-authored hooks.

I traced the state machine: installed and partial both imply managedHooksPresent, so the new gate is equivalent to state !== 'not_installed', and the error path returns before it. The script names checked mirror exactly what install() writes on each platform, and refreshManagedScripts() covers the same set. Tests 1–2 are genuine regressions — with the bundle intact the old code returned installed, so state: 'partial' would have failed. Focused run passes 11/11.
