SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Troubleshooting guide helps users diagnose and fix common The Fold issues including daemon startup failures, session corruption, and locating essential project files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided daemon status checks: Provide commands to verify the daemon is running and healthy.
  • Recovery steps for startup failures: Step-by-step actions to ensure the daemon starts reliably.
  • Session and file-location guidance: Instructions to reset state and locate configuration and data files.

Quick Start

Check daemon status with ./fold --status. If the daemon is not running, inspect logs at .fold-repl/daemon.log and restart with ./daemon.sh stop && ./fold --status or ./daemon.sh start. For session issues, use rm -rf .fold-repl/ to clear session state and relaunch with ./fold "(help)". If you encounter misbehavior in the REPL, verify fuel and restart as needed with (fuel) and fresh startup.

Where are The Fold daemon logs and configuration files located?▼

The Fold daemon logs and configuration files are located within the .fold-repl/ directory, specifically at .fold-repl/daemon.log for log inspection to verify critical system paths and diagnose issues.

What should I do if The Fold REPL is misbehaving after a session reset?▼

If The Fold REPL misbehaves after a session reset, verify your fuel levels by running the (fuel) command, then perform a fresh startup of the daemon to ensure repeatable recovery and stable operation.

Can I diagnose The Fold daemon issues without losing my current session data?▼

Yes, you can diagnose The Fold daemon issues without losing data by checking the daemon status with ./fold --status and inspecting logs at .fold-repl/daemon.log, avoiding the rm -rf .fold-repl/ command which clears state.

Why does The Fold daemon fail to start after a system reboot?▼
