# Troubleshooting
## Purpose
Canonical operator troubleshooting guide for recurring implemented Narratio failures.
Canonical operator troubleshooting guide for recurring Narratio failures.
## Config file discovery failure
## Config discovery failure
Symptom:
- `run`, `resume`, `run-stage`, `session plan`, or `session restore` fails with config/session not found.
- command fails because `pipeline.yml`, `campaign.yml`, or `session.yml` was not found.
Likely Cause:
- `pipeline.yml` or `session.yml` is missing from system discovery paths.
- the selected campaign ID does not exist under `pipeline.campaigns.root`.
- a local working-directory config file was not passed explicitly.
Likely cause:
- missing files in discovery paths.
- missing/incorrect campaign selection.
- local file exists but was not passed explicitly.
Diagnostics:

ls -l /usr/local/etc/narratio/session.yml /etc/narratio/session.yml
```
Safe Fix:
- pass explicit `--config`, `--campaign <id>`, `--campaign-file <path>`, and `--session` as appropriate.
- or place files in documented discovery paths and set `pipeline.campaigns.default_campaign_id`.
Links:
- [docs/config.md](./config.md)
- [docs/cli.md](./cli.md)
Safe fix:
- pass explicit `--config`, `--campaign` or `--campaign-file`, and `--session`.
## Templated session file rejected
Symptom:
- load fails with a message that `session.yml must be concrete`.
- load fails because `session.yml` must be concrete.
Likely Cause:
- a template authoring file such as `session.template.yml` was passed to `--session` or uploaded as remote `session.yml`.
- `session.yml` still contains `{{ ... }}` placeholders.
Likely cause:
- template placeholders (`{{ ... }}`) still present in loaded session config.
Diagnostics:
```bash
narratio session plan 2026-04-04 --config /path/to/pipeline.yml --campaign-file /path/to/campaign.yml --session ./session.yml
narratio session plan 2026-04-04 --config /path/pipeline.yml --campaign-file /path/campaign.yml --session /path/session.yml
```
Safe Fix:
- generate concrete YAML with `narratio session init`.
- pass the generated concrete `session.yml` to downstream commands or upload it through `session init --remote`.
Safe fix:
- generate concrete session YAML via `narratio session init`.
Links:
- [docs/config.md](./config.md)
## Strict YAML decode or validation failure
## Strict decode or validation failure
Symptom:
- config load fails with unknown field or validation error.
- unknown field or invalid value error during config load.
Likely Cause:
- typo/stale field name.
- missing required fields or invalid constraints.
Likely cause:
- typo, stale field name, or invalid value.
Diagnostics:
```bash
narratio session plan 2026-04-04 --config /path/to/pipeline.yml --campaign-file /path/to/campaign.yml --session /path/to/session.yml
narratio session plan 2026-04-04 --config /path/pipeline.yml --campaign-file /path/campaign.yml --session /path/session.yml
```
Safe Fix:
- align fields/values to canonical config reference and examples.
Links:
- [docs/config.md](./config.md)
- [examples/](../examples/)
Safe fix:
- align config with [docs/config.md](./config.md) and maintained examples.
## `--artifacts` selection failure
Symptom:
- `run`/`resume`/`run-stage` fails with invalid or unknown artifact selection.
- command fails on unknown/invalid selected artifact key.
Likely Cause:
- `--artifacts` contains blank names or unknown artifact keys.
- `pipeline.scriptorium.artifacts` missing while using `--artifacts`.
Likely cause:
- artifact key not defined in `pipeline.scriptorium.artifacts`.
- empty token in `--artifacts` input.
Diagnostics:
Safe fix:
- use only configured artifact keys.
```bash
narratio run 2026-04-04 --config /path/to/pipeline.yml --campaign-file /path/to/campaign.yml --session /path/to/session.yml --artifacts player_handout
```
Safe Fix:
- use configured artifact keys only.
- ensure `pipeline.scriptorium.artifacts` is defined.

- [docs/config.md](./config.md)
## `run-stage --artifacts` on unsupported stage
## `run-stage --artifacts` unsupported stage
Symptom:
- `run-stage` fails because `--artifacts` is only supported for `analyze` and `archive`.
- `run-stage` rejects `--artifacts` for the selected stage.
Likely Cause:
- `--artifacts` was used with a stage other than `analyze` or `archive`.
Likely cause:
- `--artifacts` used with a stage other than `analyze` or `publish`.
Diagnostics:
Safe fix:
- use `--artifacts` only with `run-stage analyze ...` or `run-stage publish ...`.
```bash
narratio run-stage polish 2026-04-04 --config /path/to/pipeline.yml --campaign-file /path/to/campaign.yml --session /path/to/session.yml --artifacts session_recap
```
Safe Fix:
- use `--artifacts` only with `run-stage analyze ...` or `run-stage archive ...`.
Links:
- [docs/cli.md](./cli.md)
## Configured artifact dependency/input validation failure
## Previous-session input unavailable
Symptom:
- config validation fails for `depends_on`, `narratio.artifact.<name>` source, or artifact output path.
- analyze fails on required previous-session artifact input.
Likely Cause:
- `narratio.artifact.<name>` source missing matching `depends_on` key.
- dependency references unknown artifact key.
- dependency self-reference or enabled dependency cycle.
- artifact output path missing/invalid/outside `artifacts/` root.
Diagnostics:
```bash
narratio session plan 2026-04-04 --config /path/to/pipeline.yml --campaign-file /path/to/campaign.yml --session /path/to/session.yml
```
Safe Fix:
- ensure artifact-to-artifact inputs have explicit `depends_on` entries using artifact keys.
- ensure referenced artifacts exist and define valid `output_path` values.
- keep output paths relative and under `artifacts/`.
Links:
- [docs/config.md](./config.md)
- [docs/internal/stage-analyze.md](./internal/stage-analyze.md)
## Required configured artifact input unavailable at analyze time
Symptom:
- analyze fails because configured input source is unavailable.
Likely Cause:
- required upstream configured artifact was not selected/executed this run.
- non-executable dependency output file is missing or invalid on disk.
Diagnostics:
```bash
narratio session status 2026-04-04
narratio run-stage analyze 2026-04-04 --config /path/to/pipeline.yml --campaign-file /path/to/campaign.yml --session /path/to/session.yml --artifacts player_handout

Safe Fix:
- run analyze with needed artifacts selected.
- or ensure dependency output file exists at configured path and is valid.

- [docs/config.md](./config.md)
## Manifest/status path failure
Symptom:
- `session status` fails because config/session state is missing, unreadable, or invalid.
Likely Cause:
- wrong session ID.
- wrong config/campaign/session file selected.
- manifest removed after cleanup.
Likely cause:
- `previous/**` cache not hydrated for this session.

## Session lock conflict (`.lock`)
Symptom:
- `run`, `resume`, `run-stage`, or `session restore` fails with lock conflict for session workdir.
- command fails with lock conflict.
Likely Cause:
- another Narratio process is running same session.
- stale lock from interrupted prior run.
Likely cause:
- another process is running for the same session.
- stale lock file from interrupted command.
Diagnostics:

ps aux | grep narratio
```
Safe Fix:
- wait for active process to finish.
- if no process is active, remove only stale session `.lock` file.

## Restore remote current pointer or manifest missing
## Restore current pointer/manifest missing
Symptom:
- `session restore` fails with remote current pointer or current manifest errors.
- restore fails reading remote current state.
Likely Cause:
- `current/run_id.txt` was never published.
- `current/manifest.json` is missing for the session prefix.
- archive commit did not complete.
Likely cause:
- publish commit did not complete.
- `current/run_id.txt` or `current/manifest.json` is missing.
Diagnostics:
```bash
narratio session restore 2026-04-04 --config /path/to/pipeline.yml --campaign-file /path/to/campaign.yml --session /path/to/session.yml --dry-run
narratio session restore 2026-04-04 --dry-run
```
Safe Fix:
- verify archive stage succeeded for the target session.
- rerun/archive from a healthy source workspace so current pointers are published.
Links:
- [docs/operations.md](./operations.md)
- [docs/internal/stage-archive.md](./internal/stage-archive.md)
## Restore manifest identity mismatch
Symptom:
- `session restore` fails because remote manifest session or campaign does not match requested values.
Likely Cause:
- wrong positional session ID or wrong session config selected.
- archive prefix points to a different campaign/session.
Diagnostics:
```bash
narratio session restore 2026-04-04 --config /path/to/pipeline.yml --campaign-file /path/to/campaign.yml --session /path/to/session.yml --dry-run
```
Safe Fix:
- use the correct session config and positional session ID.
- verify campaign/session identity in local config before restore.
Links:
- [docs/config.md](./config.md)
- [docs/operations.md](./operations.md)
Safe fix:
- republish from a healthy local session state.
## Restore conflict without `--force`
Symptom:
- `session restore` fails with `restore conflict` and conflict counts.
- restore reports conflict and exits.
Likely Cause:
- local durable file differs from remote file for one or more planned restore paths.
Likely cause:
- local durable file differs from remote restore source.
Diagnostics:
Safe fix:
- inspect with `--dry-run`.
- rerun with `--force` only when remote should overwrite local.
```bash
narratio session restore 2026-04-04 --config /path/to/pipeline.yml --campaign-file /path/to/campaign.yml --session /path/to/session.yml --dry-run
```
Safe Fix:
- review planned conflicts.
- rerun with `--force` only when remote state should overwrite local state.

- [docs/cli.md](./cli.md)
- [docs/operations.md](./operations.md)
## Restore report expectations
## Secrets or credentials failure
Symptom:
- operator expects restore report file but does not find one.
- startup fails loading secrets dir, or storage/tool auth fails at runtime.
Likely Cause:
- restore was executed in `--dry-run` mode.
- restore failed before report persistence path (for example lock acquisition failure).
Diagnostics:
```bash
ls -l {workspace.root}/work/{campaign}/{session_id}/reports/restore-latest.json
```
Safe Fix:
- run non-dry-run restore for durable report output.
- resolve lock or early preflight failures and retry.
Links:
- [docs/operations.md](./operations.md)
## Secrets env-dir or credential-env failure
Symptom:
- startup fails loading secrets directory, or stage fails due to missing credential env vars.
Likely Cause:
- invalid `pipeline.secrets.env_dir` path/permissions.
- required credential env var unset/empty.
Likely cause:
- invalid `pipeline.secrets.env_dir`.
- missing credential env vars.

## S3 audio prepare failure
Symptom:
- `prepare` fails in S3 mode (listing/downloading/no audio/backend error).
- prepare fails in S3 mode (list/download/no files/backend error).
Likely Cause:
- wrong `session.inputs.audio_s3.prefix`.
- no `.flac` files at resolved prefix.
- invalid/missing object-store credentials or backend config.
- mixed local+S3 audio input config.
Likely cause:
- bad `session.inputs.audio_s3.prefix`.
- no `.flac` objects at prefix.
- bad storage credentials/config.

## Archive promotion/current-pointer failure
## Publish output or current-pointer failure
Symptom:
- archive fails on required promotion source missing or pointer write failure.
- publish fails on required output source missing, upload error, or commit-marker write failure.
Likely Cause:
- required promoted file absent (including analyze outputs not generated for this run).
- storage upload failed before `current/run_id.txt` commit marker write.
Likely cause:
- required source file not produced.
- storage upload failed before `current/run_id.txt` write.
Diagnostics:

Safe Fix:
- rerun or resume upstream stages to generate required files.
- adjust promotion `source`/`dest` rules to match artifacts that must exist.
- retry after storage issue is resolved.
Safe fix:
- rerun upstream stages to regenerate required outputs.
- adjust `pipeline.publish.outputs` source/dest rules.
- retry after storage issue is fixed.
