# Troubleshooting
## Purpose
Canonical operator troubleshooting guide for recurring Narratio failures.
Operational diagnosis guide for common Narratio failures.
## Config discovery failure
## Config file not found
Symptom:
- command fails because `pipeline.yml`, `campaign.yml`, or `session.yml` was not found.
Likely cause:
- missing files in discovery paths.
- missing/incorrect campaign selection.
- local file exists but was not passed explicitly.
- command fails to resolve `pipeline.yml`, `campaign.yml`, or `session.yml`.
Likely causes:
- missing files in default search paths;
- wrong campaign selection;
- omitted explicit flags.
Diagnostics:
```bash
ls -l /usr/local/etc/narratio/pipeline.yml /etc/narratio/pipeline.yml
ls -l /usr/local/etc/narratio/session.yml /etc/narratio/session.yml
narratio session plan 2026-04-04
```
Safe fix:
- pass explicit `--config`, `--campaign` or `--campaign-file`, and `--session`.
## Templated session file rejected
## Session template placeholders rejected
Symptom:
- load fails because `session.yml` must be concrete.
- load error says session file must be concrete or contains `{{ ... }}` placeholders.
Likely cause:
- template placeholders (`{{ ... }}`) still present in loaded session config.
- using template content as runtime session config.
Diagnostics:
```bash
narratio session validate 2026-04-04 --session /path/session.yml
```
Safe fix:
- generate concrete session YAML with `narratio session init`.
## Strict decode or schema validation failure
Symptom:
- unknown field / invalid value error during config load.
Likely cause:
- stale field name, typo, invalid enum, or invalid duration/path format.
Diagnostics:

```
Safe fix:
- generate concrete session YAML via `narratio session init`.
## Strict decode or validation failure
- align config with [docs/config.md](./config.md) and maintained files under `examples/`.
## Audio mode conflict
Symptom:
- unknown field or invalid value error during config load.
- validation fails on session audio configuration.
Likely cause:
- typo, stale field name, or invalid value.
Diagnostics:
```bash
narratio session plan 2026-04-04 --config /path/pipeline.yml --campaign-file /path/campaign.yml --session /path/session.yml
```
Safe fix:
- align config with [docs/config.md](./config.md) and maintained examples.
## `--artifacts` selection failure
Symptom:
- command fails on unknown/invalid selected artifact key.
Likely cause:
- artifact key not defined in `pipeline.scriptorium.artifacts`.
- empty token in `--artifacts` input.
Safe fix:
- use only configured artifact keys.
## `run-stage --artifacts` unsupported stage
Symptom:
- `run-stage` rejects `--artifacts` for the selected stage.
Likely cause:
- `--artifacts` used with a stage other than `analyze` or `publish`.
Safe fix:
- use `--artifacts` only with `run-stage analyze ...` or `run-stage publish ...`.
## Previous-session input unavailable
Symptom:
- analyze fails on required previous-session artifact input.
Likely cause:
- `previous/**` cache not hydrated for this session.
- configured both local and S3 session audio inputs.
Safe fix:
- use local mode (`audio_dir` or `audio_files`) or S3 mode (`audio_s3.prefix`), not both.
## `--artifacts` selection error
Symptom:
- unknown artifact key or invalid `--artifacts` usage.
Likely causes:
- key not defined in `pipeline.scriptorium.artifacts`;
- empty list entry (for example trailing comma);
- `run-stage` used with non-`analyze`/`publish` target.
Safe fix:
- provide only configured keys and use `--artifacts` with supported commands/stages.
## Previous-session artifact input missing
Symptom:
- prepare/analyze fails due to missing required previous-session artifact cache input.
Likely causes:
- missing `session.previous_session_id`;
- previous artifact not restored/published for source session.
Diagnostics:
```bash
narratio session validate 2026-04-04
narratio session status 2026-04-04
```
Safe fix:
```bash
narratio run-stage prepare 2026-04-04 --force
narratio session restore 2026-04-04
```
Or rehydrate from remote current state:
or rerun prepare after correcting session config:
```bash
narratio session restore 2026-04-04
narratio run-stage prepare 2026-04-04 --force
```
## Session lock conflict (`.lock`)
Symptom:
- command fails with lock conflict.
Likely cause:
- another process is running for the same session.
- stale lock file from interrupted command.
- command fails acquiring session lock.
Likely causes:
- another process is running for the same session;
- stale lock left by interrupted process.
Diagnostics:

```
Safe fix:
- wait for active process; remove stale lock only if no process is active.
## Restore current pointer/manifest missing
- wait for active process completion;
- remove stale lock only after confirming no live process owns it.
## Restore conflict without `--force`
Symptom:
- restore fails reading remote current state.
- restore fails with conflict count.
Likely cause:
- publish commit did not complete.
- `current/run_id.txt` or `current/manifest.json` is missing.
- local durable files differ from remote restore sources.
Diagnostics:

```
Safe fix:
- republish from a healthy local session state.
## Restore conflict without `--force`
- review conflicts;
- rerun with `--force` only when remote state should overwrite local.
## Restore current-state discovery failure
Symptom:
- restore reports conflict and exits.
Likely cause:
- local durable file differs from remote restore source.
- restore cannot find current pointer or current manifest.
Safe fix:
- inspect with `--dry-run`.
- rerun with `--force` only when remote should overwrite local.
Likely causes:
## Secrets or credentials failure
Symptom:
- startup fails loading secrets dir, or storage/tool auth fails at runtime.
Likely cause:
- invalid `pipeline.secrets.env_dir`.
- missing credential env vars.
Diagnostics:
```bash
ls -la /path/to/secrets_dir
env | grep -E 'AUDITA|OBJECT_STORAGE|AWS|SCRIPTORIUM'
```
Safe fix:
- fix path/permissions/env vars; keep secret values out of YAML.
## S3 audio prepare failure
Symptom:
- prepare fails in S3 mode (list/download/no files/backend error).
Likely cause:
- bad `session.inputs.audio_s3.prefix`.
- no `.flac` objects at prefix.
- bad storage credentials/config.
- mixed local+S3 audio config.
Diagnostics:
```bash
narratio run-stage prepare 2026-04-04 --config /path/pipeline.yml --campaign-file /path/campaign.yml --session /path/session.yml
```
Safe fix:
- configure exactly one audio mode and verify storage access.
## Publish output or current-pointer failure
Symptom:
- publish fails on required output source missing, upload error, or commit-marker write failure.
Likely cause:
- required source file not produced.
- storage upload failed before `current/run_id.txt` write.
- no committed publish current state;
- storage credentials or connectivity failure.
Diagnostics:
```bash
narratio session status 2026-04-04
narratio run-stage publish 2026-04-04 --config /path/pipeline.yml --campaign-file /path/campaign.yml --session /path/session.yml
narratio session restore 2026-04-04 --dry-run
```
Safe fix:
- rerun upstream stages to regenerate required outputs.
- adjust `pipeline.publish.outputs` source/dest rules.
- retry after storage issue is fixed.
## Helpful Links
- resolve storage/auth issue;
- republish from healthy local state if current pointer is missing.
## Publish output failure
Symptom:
- publish fails on missing required source, upload error, or commit write.
Likely causes:
- required source file not produced;
- lock/state expectations mismatch;
- remote storage failure.
Diagnostics:
```bash
narratio session artifacts 2026-04-04 --remote
narratio session status 2026-04-04
narratio run-stage publish 2026-04-04 --force
```
Safe fix:
- regenerate missing sources by rerunning prerequisite stages;
- correct publish source/destination rules;
- retry after storage failure is resolved.
## Secrets or storage credential failure
Symptom:
- object-store command fails at initialization/auth.
Likely causes:
- invalid `pipeline.secrets.env_dir`;
- missing credential environment variables;
- invalid S3 endpoint/bucket settings.
Diagnostics:
```bash
ls -la /path/to/secrets_dir
env | grep -E 'OBJECT_STORAGE|AWS|AUDITA|SCRIPTORIUM'
```
Safe fix:
- correct secret-file path and permissions;
- provide required env vars;
- keep secret values out of YAML.
## S3 audio prepare failure
Symptom:
- prepare fails listing/downloading session S3 audio.
Likely causes:
- incorrect `session.inputs.audio_s3.prefix`;
- no matching `.flac` objects;
- storage connectivity or permissions failure.
Diagnostics:
```bash
narratio run-stage prepare 2026-04-04 --force
```
Safe fix:
- verify prefix contents and storage access;
- keep session audio mode consistent.
