Standalone LS for Proxy Isolation

Status: FULLY IMPLEMENTED (incl. MITM interception)

The standalone LS is the default mode. Disable with --no-standalone. All cascade types (sync, streaming, multi-turn) and all endpoints work. MITM interception captures real token usage from Google's API.

Implementation

Module: src/standalone.rs

The proxy spawns a standalone LS as a child process:

  1. Discovers extension_server_port and csrf_token from the real LS (via /proc/PID/cmdline)
  2. Picks a random free port
  3. Builds init metadata protobuf (via proto::build_init_metadata())
  4. Spawns the LS binary with correct args and env vars
  5. Feeds init metadata via stdin, then closes it
  6. Waits for TCP readiness (retry loop)
  7. Kills the child on proxy shutdown (via Drop)

UID Isolation (MITM mode)

When scripts/mitm-redirect.sh install has been run:

  1. The antigravity-ls system user exists
  2. iptables redirects that UID's port-443 traffic → MITM proxy port
  3. The proxy spawns the LS via sudo -n -u antigravity-ls
  4. Environment variables (SSL_CERT_FILE, etc.) are passed via /usr/bin/env
  5. A combined CA bundle (system CAs + MITM CA) is written to /tmp/antigravity-mitm-combined-ca.pem
  6. Only the standalone LS traffic is intercepted — no impact on other software

Usage

# Setup (one-time, requires sudo)
sudo ./scripts/mitm-redirect.sh install

# Run
RUST_LOG=info ./target/release/antigravity-proxy

# Check intercepted usage
curl -s http://localhost:8741/v1/usage | jq .

Root Cause of Original Failure

The bash script (scripts/standalone-ls.sh) used MODEL_PLACEHOLDER_M3 — an unassigned/invalid model enum. The LS silently drops cascades with unknown models.

Fix: Use correct model enums (M18=Flash, M26=Opus4.6) via the proxy's byte-exact protobuf encoder.

Key Technical Details

  • Init metadata protobuf field 34 = detect_and_use_proxy (1=ENABLED)
  • Model IDs: M18=Flash, M8=Pro-High, M7=Pro-Low, M26=Opus4.6, M12=Opus4.5
  • LS binary: /usr/share/antigravity/resources/app/extensions/antigravity/bin/language_server_linux_x64
  • API endpoint: daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/v1internal:streamGenerateContent?alt=sse
  • SSE response format: {"response": {"usageMetadata": {"promptTokenCount", "candidatesTokenCount", "thoughtsTokenCount"}, "modelVersion": "..."}}
