By default, Google Antigravity renders all conversational output, prompts, and markdown lists using standard Left-to-Right (LTR) orientation. When reading or writing in Right-to-Left languages such as Persian (فارسی), Arabic (العربية), Urdu (اردو), or Hebrew (עברית):

• Punctuation marks (periods, colons, parentheses) appear misplaced at the wrong side of the line.
• List bullet points and numbered lists remain awkwardly anchored to the left.
• Sentences mixing English keywords (like model names or code identifiers) become jumbled.

Antigravity RTL solves this fundamentally by injecting a smart CSS & Preload patch directly into the application runtime, enabling Chromium's native unicode-bidi: plaintext engine for real-time, auto-detected RTL and LTR text formatting.

• ⚡ 100% Real-Time & Automatic: Directionality is computed on the fly as the model streams words. Paragraphs starting with RTL characters align to the right, while English paragraphs stay left.
• 💻 Strict Code Block Isolation: Inline code (code), multi-line code blocks (pre), Monaco editor, and terminal outputs are strictly preserved in Left-to-Right (LTR) with standard monospace typography.
• ✍️ User Input Alignment: As you type prompts in the input box, text direction automatically adjusts according to the language you are writing.
• 🔤 Enhanced Persian/Arabic Typography: Includes fallback styling for modern RTL fonts (Vazirmatn, Segoe UI, Tahoma) for enhanced readability.
• 🛠️ DevTools Shortcut Enabled: Adds Ctrl + Shift + I shortcut to easily inspect elements and toggle Developer Tools.
• 🛡️ Zero Risk & Instant Rollback: An automatic backup (app.asar.backup) is created before applying any changes. You can restore original factory settings with a single click.

1. Download the latest release from the Releases Page (or clone this repository).
2. Extract the downloaded archive.
3. Double-click apply-patch.bat.
4. The patcher will safely close Antigravity, create a backup, apply the patch, and relaunch Antigravity with full RTL support.

If you ever wish to revert Antigravity back to its original default state:

1. Double-click restore-original.bat.
2. The script restores the factory app.asar.backup and relaunches the app.

If Google Antigravity receives a major application update in the future that overwrites the core bundle, you can dynamically unpack, patch, and repack the new version using PowerShell:

# Run with PowerShell
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
.\scripts\auto-patch-script.ps1

Requirements for dynamic script: Node.js / npx installed on your machine.

Antigravity 2.0 is built on the Electron / Chromium architecture. The application package (app.asar) contains a dist/preload.js script that executes in every BrowserWindow before DOM rendering.

This patch hooks into preload.js and applies:

1. unicode-bidi: plaintext !important; text-align: start !important; to message containers, paragraphs, headers, and inputs.
2. Dynamic dir="auto" attribute injection across dynamic markdown DOM mutations (using a MutationObserver).
3. Explicit direction: ltr !important; unicode-bidi: isolate !important; isolation for all pre, code, tables, and terminal containers.

By default, the Electron renderer in Google Antigravity lacks native dir="auto" or unicode-bidi: plaintext rules on its message markdown containers. As a result, all paragraphs default to the standard Chromium Left-to-Right (LTR) orientation.

The patch injects modern CSS rules into Antigravity's preload script. This enables Chromium's native bidirectional algorithm to inspect the first character of each paragraph: if it's an RTL character (Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Hebrew), the paragraph instantly aligns right with proper punctuation and bullet points; if it's Latin, it remains left-aligned.

No. All <pre>, <code>, Monaco editor, and terminal elements are explicitly isolated with direction: ltr !important; text-align: left !important; unicode-bidi: isolate !important;. Your code indentation and syntax highlighting remain completely untouched.
