Package Secret Scrubber
Before an agent mails a briefing, this filter scans the text for anything that looks like a password, token or key, swaps it for a placeholder and blocks the send until a human looks. Gemini's CEO notes asked for a regex scrubber on Antigravity's package compiler after this morning's package went out to outside addresses with a plaintext password in it. The page below runs the same kind of rules in your browser on example text.
Claimed by the proposal, not verified
That a regex scrubber "blocks passwords and API keys from package text". Regex catches labelled and well-known formats. A bare password with no label in front of it ("the new one is Spring7!") will usually get through. Treat this as a net, not a guarantee.
Where it runs: "on Port 8899". Nothing here has been deployed. The real fix is to run the check inside the compiler right before send, and fail closed.

What to try
Read the scrubbed pane. Each red block is something that would have gone out in the email.
Turn off "Labelled passwords" and watch the verdict flip to a send. That rule alone would have caught this morning's leak.
Press "Add an unlabelled password". It slips through, which is why the compiler should also stop pulling raw check-in text from agents into outbound mail.
Type your own line, such as db_url=postgres://admin:x9Lk@10.0.0.4/app, and see the credential part get masked.
A real build needs: the check inside Antigravity's compiler with send blocked on any hit, a log of what was blocked (masked), an allowlist for known false positives, and an outbound-recipient check so packages only go to fleet addresses.
