Troubleshooting
npm ci fails on the SQLite driver
Section titled “npm ci fails on the SQLite driver”The development checkout needs Node 24.12.0, the version the native driver and packaged runtime are qualified with. Check node --version, then reinstall with npm ci.
The transcript prints as plain text
Section titled “The transcript prints as plain text”Ink rendering is used only when output is an interactive terminal. Add --terminal to force it.
terminal-check refuses to start
Section titled “terminal-check refuses to start”It needs a TTY for both input and output and refuses piped input. Run it directly in a terminal window.
A document extraction failed
Section titled “A document extraction failed”Exit code 2 means the extraction failed; the message explains why. Scanned PDFs need OCR, which is not available. See Inspect evidence.
An export shows unconfirmed
Section titled “An export shows unconfirmed”It is still running, or the process stopped before its outcome was saved. Inspect its directory before exporting again; BOARDROOM never retries it on its own.
boardroom status prints the help text
Section titled “boardroom status prints the help text”The help text lists status, but this build has no handler for it. Use doctor --json to see local capabilities.
Paths with spaces or accents
Section titled “Paths with spaces or accents”Supported: the packaged candidate is qualified from a directory named Boardroom clean François on all three platforms.
Still stuck? Open an issue with the output of doctor --json.
