Problem

On Linux distributions where /bin/ps does not exist in standard FHS paths (such as NixOS, where binaries live in /run/current-system/sw/bin or user profiles), or on minimal systems where lsof is not installed:

  1. Antigravity usage limits always report Antigravity IDE is not running. Launch Antigravity to see usage limits. even when agy or the Antigravity language server is actively running.
  2. detectAntigravityProcess threw an ENOENT spawn error on /bin/ps.
  3. listAntigravityPorts failed if lsof was not installed.

Cause

  • detectAntigravityProcess hardcoded /bin/ps rather than falling back to ps in PATH. On non-FHS systems (e.g. NixOS), this fails immediately.
  • listAntigravityPorts strictly required lsof. On Linux, lsof is often an optional package not installed by default, whereas:
    • Linux kernel procfs (/proc/<pid>/fd + /proc/net/tcp & /proc/net/tcp6) allows zero-spawn, zero-dependency detection of listening sockets owned by the target PID.
    • ss (from iproute2) is pre-installed on virtually all modern Linux distributions.

Fix

  1. In detectAntigravityProcess, attempt /bin/ps first (preserving exact compatibility with mock runners in existing tests) and fall back to spawning ps from PATH if /bin/ps fails or returns an execution error.
  2. In listAntigravityPorts:
    • On Linux, check /proc/<pid>/fd and /proc/net/tcp / tcp6 first when running without a mock runner (zero-process overhead).
    • If lsof is present or mocked via commandRunner, query lsof.
    • On Linux, if lsof is absent or yields no ports, fall back to procfs or ss -H -tlpn.
    • Only throw the lsof missing error on non-Linux platforms (e.g. macOS).

Testing

  • Added unit tests in test/usage-limits.test.js:
    • detectAntigravityProcess falling back to ps when /bin/ps fails with ENOENT.
    • parseLinuxProcListeningPorts reading socket inodes from /proc/net/tcp using a mock procfs tree.
    • parseSsListeningPorts extracting listening ports for the target PID.
  • Test suites:
    • node --test test/usage-limits.test.js (all 137 tests passing).
    • npm run validate:guardrails (pass).
    • npm run validate:ui-hardcode (pass).
  • Verified live end-to-end on NixOS 26.11 with running agy: Antigravity usage limits now correctly detect the CLI process and display live quota windows.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved process detection when the standard process-listing command is unavailable or fails to start.
    • Timeout and cancellation errors no longer trigger unnecessary fallback attempts.
    • Added Linux-compatible port detection using process and network information when standard tools are unavailable or return no results.
    • Improved fallback handling across available port-detection methods.
    • Improved reliability when detecting listening ports associated with the Antigravity process.

…bin/ps or lsof

- Fall back to 'ps' from PATH if '/bin/ps' fails or does not exist (e.g. on NixOS)
- Add native procfs (/proc/<pid>/fd + /proc/net/tcp) and 'ss' port detection on Linux when 'lsof' is not installed
- Add unit tests covering ps fallback, procfs port parsing, and ss output parsing

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change limits ps retries to genuine spawn failures and adds Linux listening-port detection through procfs and ss. listAntigravityPorts now uses procfs first, optional lsof, and an ss fallback.

Changes

Antigravity process and port detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Process scan command fallback
src/lib/usage-limits.js, test/usage-limits.test.js
detectAntigravityProcess retries ps only for non-timeout, non-abort errors. Tests cover retry and no-retry behavior.
Linux port parsers
src/lib/usage-limits.js, test/usage-limits.test.js
New parsers read listening ports from procfs socket inodes and PID-filtered ss output. The parsers are exported and tested.
Linux port fallback flow
src/lib/usage-limits.js, test/usage-limits.test.js
listAntigravityPorts checks procfs first, treats lsof as optional, and falls back to ss on Linux. Tests cover the fallback chain.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c9a09

This change improves Linux process and port detection where /bin/ps or lsof is unavailable, with tested procfs and ss fallbacks. No merge-blocking risk is currently identified.

3507-3517: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add an integration test for listAntigravityPorts's Linux fallback chain.

The new tests cover parseLinuxProcListeningPorts and parseSsListeningPorts in isolation, but no test exercises listAntigravityPorts itself on platform: "linux" through the full fallback order (procfs miss → lsof miss → ss hit). That orchestration logic is the most complex part of this change. Add a test that injects a commandRunner returning no lsof/empty lsof output and a working ss output, then asserts listAntigravityPorts returns the expected ports.

to validate the error type using the existing error symbols or conventions,
while preserving the current `ps` retry for launch failures and the
`budgetedTimeoutMs` time-bound behavior.

- Exclude ETIMEDOUT and AbortError from triggering the ps fallback spawn
- Add integration test for listAntigravityPorts Linux fallback orchestration (procfs miss -> lsof miss -> ss hit)
- Add unit test verifying that timeout/abort errors on /bin/ps do not trigger a ps retry

Merged through #589 with your commits preserved. The process/port fallback regressions and combined Node/Linux CI pass. No further author changes are needed; a new package/desktop version has not been released yet. Thank you!
