Symptoms#

The session starts but no useful agent output appears, the stream stops early, or the agent never completes a turn.

First checks#

• Confirm the workspace is fully created and not still initializing.
• Check that the selected agent account is authenticated.
• Try a small prompt that only asks the agent to inspect the repository.
• Look for errors in the session output and app logs.

Common causes#

Provider authentication, missing CLI credentials, network issues, a broken workspace path, or a sidecar startup failure can all look like a silent agent.

Recovery#

Retry in the same workspace if the task state is still clear. If the workspace looks corrupted or the agent repeatedly fails before doing work, create a fresh workspace and compare behavior.
