Troubleshooting The Fold

Quick Fixes

Check daemon status

bash
1./fold --status

Daemon won't start

bash
1./daemon.sh stop     # Clear stale state
2./daemon.sh cleanup  # Kill orphan workers
3./daemon.sh start    # Or just run ./fold - it auto-starts

Session state corruption

bash
1rm -rf .fold-repl/   # Nuclear option - clears all session state
2./fold "(help)"      # Auto-starts fresh daemon

Tests hanging

Check fuel consumption. Infinite loops exhaust fuel and return out-of-fuel error.

Common Issues

"Daemon not responding"

  1. Check if daemon is running: ./fold --status
  2. Check daemon log: cat .fold-repl/daemon.log
  3. Kill and restart: ./daemon.sh stop && ./fold --status

"Session not found"

Sessions are ephemeral unless named with -s:

bash
1./fold -s mywork "(define x 10)"  # Creates named session
2./fold -s mywork "x"              # Uses same session

"Module not found" during require

  1. Check you're in project root (where core/, lattice/, boundary/ live)
  2. Verify module exists: ls lattice/<module>/
  3. Check for typos in module name

"Out of fuel" error

The expression exceeded its fuel budget. Options:

  • Simplify the expression
  • Check for infinite recursion
  • Increase fuel budget (if safe)

"Hash mismatch" or CAS errors

The CAS store may be corrupted. Options:

  1. Check .store/ permissions
  2. Run integrity check: ./fold "(cas-verify)"
  3. Rebuild from git: rm -rf .store && ./fold "(cas-rebuild)"

BBS shows stale data

After reloading modules, refresh BBS state:
