Troubleshooting VibeAround
A systematic checklist for AI coding agent installation, launch, provider profile, handover, channel, terminal, and preview issues.
Documentation notice: these docs are currently generated with Codex and are being actively reviewed, expanded, and refined.
Troubleshooting VibeAround is easiest when each layer is isolated. Start with the simplest local path, then add profiles, remote access, channels, and previews one at a time.
Installation Issues
Check:
- The correct package was downloaded for the platform.
- The app can open.
- Local security prompts or OS permissions are resolved.
- The local VibeAround data directory is writable.
- The installed version matches the expected release.
Agent Launch Issues
Check:
- The agent runs outside VibeAround.
- The workspace path exists.
- The selected terminal mode works.
- The selected provider profile is valid.
- The previous session still has recoverable state.
Provider Profile Issues
Check:
- API key or credential value.
- Base URL.
- API shape.
- Model name and aliases.
- Provider region.
- Streaming or tool-call support.
- Provider error body.
Remote Or Handover Issues
Check:
- The local runtime is online.
- The session still exists.
- The surface is paired or authorized.
- The tunnel is enabled only when needed.
- The workspace can still be reached.
Channel Issues
Check plugin status, channel credentials, bot permissions, workspace binding, command prefix behavior, and who is allowed to send messages.
Preview Issues
Check whether the target exists, whether the dev server is running, whether the preview link is owner-only or shared, whether a tunnel is required, and whether the link has expired.
