Common Symptoms
Start with the symptom. Then identify the boundary that failed.
Logs And Evidence
Logs are useful only when they answer a concrete question.
Stale State
Stale state means old provider or AxiOwl information is being reused after it should no longer be trusted.
Provider Reply Failures
Provider reply failure means AxiOwl may have sent a message, but the target did not reply over AxiOwl MCP.
Cursor And VS Code Troubleshooting
Cursor and VS Code are the most patch/extension-sensitive provider surfaces.
