Troubleshooting

TODO: this page will cover the common failure modes and how to recover:

  • Install hangs (Docker / Colima not ready, Ollama timeout)
  • FDA permission denied (Apple Mail, Messages, Contacts, Calendars)
  • Hub launch fails after macOS update (re-grant permissions, rebuild index)
  • Companion can't find Hub (Wi-Fi, mDNS, firewall)
  • Encryption passphrase forgotten (recovery options, when there are none)
  • Disk space pressure (vector store, cache, wiki rebuild)
  • LaCie / external drive mount issues (see related troubleshooting note in CM051)

For each: symptom, diagnosis, fix, and a doctor command to run. Link to relevant log files.

Owner: @andy. Cross-reference: BUGS_FOUND.md, the Mac Studio install test results (memory/project_mac_studio_install_test.md), and the LaCie troubleshooting documentation.
