Under the Hood: How the Antigravity Attention Guard Plugin Enforces Deterministic Agent Governance

In our previous discussions on autonomous engineering, we explored the phenomenon of Attention Dilution—the silent degradation of instruction-following fidelity as context windows swell past tens of thousands of tokens. While modern frontier models boast context windows of 1M+ tokens, attention mechanisms remain vulnerable to informational entropy. As terminal logs, stack traces, and code diffs accumulate, system prompt constraints drift out of the model’s active attention focus. When left unchecked, agents exhibit architectural amnesia: they bypass project-level Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), run uncompressed shell commands that flood context, guess port allocations, or skip verification steps. ...
