A readiness verdict is what decides whether Orca types the user's task prompt into a pane, and any readiness detector can be wrong. The Antigravity one has been rewritten five times and has repeatedly read ready with a sign-in dialog on screen, at which point the prompt is typed into that dialog: submitted to the auth provider as a credential attempt, and — because the daemon records raw PTY output with no redaction (terminal-history-session-writer.ts) — written into the session transcript and published over terminal.read / worktree.ps if the surface echoes. The write site already has the guard machinery: writeTerminalAgentPrompt throws agent_prompt_blocked whenever getAgentPromptActivity reads `permission`, and that comes from detectTerminalWaitBlockedReason over the tail. What was missing is vocabulary — the blocked-signal set knew about trust, update, hooks and approval dialogs, and nothing about passwords, API keys, OTPs, 2FA or OAuth device codes. So this adds an agent-neutral `agent-credential-prompt` reason and a shape-based detector for it, and makes it unconditional: unlike every other reason, a live idle title and a ready caret must not clear it, because a wrong readiness verdict is exactly the failure being guarded. isKnownReadyPromptPreview stops calling such a screen ready, so terminal.wait reports the reason rather than resolving. The refusal is a defer, not a drop: the wait poll re-reads the tail, so it clears once the dialog is answered. Bias is deliberately toward refusing. Measured on a corpus of 47,581 string literals from the repo's own runtime/shared/cli fixtures, the detector fires on 7 (0.015%), all of which are genuine credential-prompt shapes when read as a screen-bottom line. On a two-sided corpus in the new suite it blocks 23/23 live credential surfaces and fires on 0/31 legitimate agent screens, including agents narrating credential work, agents asking the user credential-adjacent questions, rg output quoting prompt wording, and diffs adding prompt strings. Verified by mutation: disabling the candidate turns 29 tests red, and the two write-site regressions then let the prompt through. Also fixes a latent main-process hang found while building the corpus: startOfLastNonBlankLines spun forever on any tail whose first character is a newline, because lastIndexOf clamps a negative position up to 0. Every producer filters blank lines today, so it is unreachable rather than live, but it sits on the PTY data path. Wire compatibility: `agent-credential-prompt` is an additive union member, per docs/reference/remote-wire-compatibility.md rule 1. No zod schema validates the value and the only equality comparisons are on locally-computed reasons; the CLI interpolates it as a string.
