Strategy: Bridge the WSL connection to use the native Windows Chrome installation via port forwarding. This avoids slow rendering inside Linux and utilizes your GPU.

1. Windows Setup (One-Time)

Open PowerShell as Administrator for these steps.

1. Get your WSL Gateway IP (Run this inside your WSL terminal):

   ip route show | grep -i default | awk '{ print $3}'

   Copy this IP (e.g., 172.25.x.x). We will refer to it as GATEWAY_IP.

2. Configure Port Forwarding (Run in PowerShell Admin, replace GATEWAY_IP):

   netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=9222 listenaddress=GATEWAY_IP connectport=9222 connectaddress=127.0.0.1

3. Open Firewall (Run in PowerShell Admin):

   New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Chrome Remote Debug" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 9222 -Protocol TCP -Action Allow

2. WSL Setup & Automation

Configure Linux to automatically tunnel requests to Windows.

1. Install socat:

   sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y socat

2. Add Auto-Connect Script: Append this block to your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.zshrc) file to ensure the tunnel starts every time you open the terminal:

   # --- Antigravity / Chrome Bridge Setup ---
   # 1. Get Windows Gateway IP dynamically
   WIN_IP=$(ip route show | grep -i default | awk '{ print $3}')
   
   # 2. Start socat in background if not already running
   if ! pgrep -f "socat TCP-LISTEN:9222" > /dev/null; then
       socat TCP-LISTEN:9222,fork,reuseaddr TCP:$WIN_IP:9222 &> /dev/null &
   fi

3. Apply changes:

   source ~/.bashrc

3. Antigravity IDE Configuration

Go to Antigravity Settings -> Browser Subagent.

• Chrome Binary Path: (Use the path to your Windows Chrome executable via the /mnt mount) /mnt/c/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe

• Browser CDP Port: 9222

---

Troubleshooting

If automation stops working after a full PC restart, the WSL IP address might have changed.

1. Get the new IP in WSL:

   ip route show | grep -i default | awk '{ print $3}'

2. Update the Windows Rule (PowerShell Admin):

   netsh interface portproxy set v4tov4 listenport=9222 listenaddress=NEW_IP connectport=9222 connectaddress=127.0.0.1
