Troubleshooting
An agent event never appears
Section titled “An agent event never appears”- Confirm back2vibing is enabled from the menu bar.
- Open Agents. The agent should show Active, not Needs setup.
- Run the repair action if one is offered.
- Quit the old agent session, start a new one, and retry a short prompt.
Existing sessions do not always pick up a newly installed or repaired hook.
The event appears, but focus does not move
Section titled “The event appears, but focus does not move”- Open Focus and confirm the action is not Notify me.
- Confirm back2vibing is enabled under System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility.
- Check whether Disable during screen share is active in General.
- Check Supported Agents and Apps to see whether the surface supports exact return or only whole-window return.
The Session Dock does not appear
Section titled “The Session Dock does not appear”- Confirm at least one live session exists in Sessions > Active.
- Move the pointer to the top edge of the screen.
- Open Keyboard and use the configured Session Dock shortcut.
- Open Dock to check launch and workspace settings.
Sounds or all behavior are off
Section titled “Sounds or all behavior are off”- Mute sounds disables audio only.
- Disable back2vibing disables focus changes and audio.
- Screen-share protection disables both while a share or recording is detected.
Sync & Test is blocked
Section titled “Sync & Test is blocked”Read the blocker in the dialog before changing repository state.
- Complete or abort an in-progress merge or rebase.
- Check out the intended Home Repo branch if it is detached.
- Move unsupported untracked paths out of the way.
- Stop the current Sync & Test target before starting another if switching is unavailable.
Do not use overwrite sync merely to bypass a blocker.
SSH does not connect
Section titled “SSH does not connect”- Run
ssh <host>in a normal terminal and accept the host key. - Confirm that login succeeds without back2vibing.
- Reconnect the saved host in SSH Remote.
- Start a new remote agent session after the connection is active.
