When something is wrong

Some failures are yours to fix rather than to debug, and the board says those itself: a strip above the toolbar naming what is wrong and the one command that fixes it, plus the same line on stderr. It covers, among others:

  • a board serving a stale build,
  • a missing tmux,
  • a gh that is not signed in,
  • a feature whose URL is a port because the proxy is not carrying it,
  • a machine that stays unreachable,
  • a config or theme file kelpie cannot parse.

Nothing in the strip means nothing is wrong that kelpie can see. A probe that fails shows no chip and no button rather than a guessed one, so a feature that is missing without a line in the strip is worth reporting.

The feedback button in the app files an issue on the public tracker, with what a report needs from the board already attached. You can also open one there directly.
