• Boost: Uses a tiered multi-agent hierarchy to solve complex algorithmic challenges and deep debugging tasks with the /boost command. This feature is generally available (GA) in Antigravity.

Fixed

CodeMender updates (v0.12.0)

This release introduces updates to CodeMender:

• Hidden file scanning: Added the --include-hidden flag to cm find (or include_hidden under scan in config.yaml) to include hidden directories and files, such as .github/ and .config/, in vulnerability scans.
• Larger file support: Raised the default file discovery size limit (max_file_size_kb) from 500 KB to 2 MiB so cm find no longer skips large source files. Existing configurations that use the previous 500 KB default are upgraded automatically, and --deep and --diff scans can now read beyond the inline preview of files larger than 64 KB.
• Report output for every scan mode: cm find --output now writes the scan report for standard, --deep, --parallel, and --diff scans.
• Scoped fixes: cm fix now prevents the agent from modifying CI/CD pipelines, static analysis configurations, build definitions, and repository configuration files that are outside the scope of the vulnerability being fixed.
• Accurate session token usage: cm now reports the total token usage across all turns of a session, instead of only the final turn, so token counts in cm stats and session exports match billed usage.
• Bug fixes:
  • Fixed duplicate findings in cm report and cm stats, and stopped merging distinct vulnerability types reported on the same line. …

Feature

Gemini Enterprise: Federated query mode for Data Cloud connectors and Knowledge Catalog integration (Preview)

Feature

Custom denial messages for semantic governance policies

You can now configure a fixed Denial message on a semantic governance policy to show end users when the policy denies a request, in place of the policy denial rationale. The message can be up to 1,000 characters and is configurable in the Google Cloud console on the policy create or edit page, or by setting agentResponseCustomization.denialMessage on the policy resource using the REST API.

When a single request triggers denials from more than one policy, the policy engine combines the configured Denial messages, deduplicates them, and falls back to a generic message for firing policies that don't have one configured.

For more information, see Configure a semantic governance policy and Information exposure risk.
