Doctor And Health

Loong uses doctor as the main repair path when the base runtime is unhealthy.

Start Here

Core Commands

When To Escalate To Audit

Use the audit commands when:
  • the runtime looks unhealthy and you need recent operator-visible evidence
  • a repair action happened but you want to inspect what changed
  • policy or token flow needs a more explicit trail than doctor alone provides

When To Escalate To Debug Bundle

Use the debug bundle when:
  • you need a live, continuously refreshed view over one active runtime or session before you decide whether to capture a point-in-time artifact
  • the runtime is behaving incorrectly and you need one combined view over status, ACP, session, provider failover, and audit evidence
  • you want to hand one artifact to another maintainer without asking them to rebuild the same local inspection steps
  • you need request ids, failover rollups, session recovery state, and audit integrity in one place

What This Page Optimizes For

  • keep health issues legible for operators
  • prefer safe local repair actions
  • surface concrete next steps instead of vague status-only output
  • preserve audit visibility for policy and runtime debugging

When To Use It

  • after onboarding if credentials or config still feel incomplete
  • before enabling channels or gateway surfaces
  • when runtime behavior has drifted and you need a trustworthy repair path

Typical Order

  1. Run loong doctor.
  2. Run loong doctor --fix if the safe repair path is appropriate.
  3. Use loong debug watch when you need live counters, recent session events, and failover/audit attention while the issue is still happening.
  4. Capture loong debug bundle when you need a stable artifact to share or compare later.
  5. Use audit commands when you need evidence or a deeper governance trail.
  6. Return to First Run once the base path is healthy again.

What Comes Next

  • Return to First Run if you still have not reached a first useful answer.
  • Continue to Skills when the blocker is install policy, skill exposure, or browser automation setup.
  • Continue to Browser And Web Boundaries when the blocker is a private host, domain allowlist, or browser runtime gate.
  • Move on to Use Loong once the base local runtime is healthy.
