FAQ And Troubleshooting

Launch

Problem What to check
Agent does not launch CLI installed, path visible to app, terminal selection, workspace exists
Launch opens wrong terminal Change the Terminal selector in Launch
Resume starts a new conversation Agent supports resume, selected session belongs to selected workspace
Launch button flickers Use v0.6.5 or newer; earlier builds had selector transition flicker

Profiles And Models

Problem What to check
Provider says model is unsupported Upstream model mapping, custom model spelling, provider plan availability
Claude sends a model like deepseek-v4-pro[1m] Use v0.6.5 or newer; suffix normalization strips internal Claude suffixes
Codex shows provider names in /model VibeAround exposes descriptions/model list metadata; selected fake IDs map back internally
Profile works in one agent but not another API type route: Codex expects OpenAI Responses; Claude expects Anthropic Messages
Claude auth conflict warning Do not use Claude account token and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY at the same time unless intentional

Channels

Problem What to check
Telegram bot silent Token, bot privacy mode, chat permissions
Discord bot silent Message Content Intent, bot mention, server permissions
Slack command not recognized Use /va ..., Socket Mode app token, slash command configuration
WeChat QR expired Restart the channel/plugin and scan again
Channel shows too much detail Turn off verbose.show_thinking and verbose.show_tool_use

Web And Tunnel

Problem What to check
127.0.0.1:12358/va/ does not open Runtime process, port conflict, app logs
Public URL asks for pairing Expected; send the pairing code through a connected channel
Pairing repeats Browser cookies blocked or expired
Preview link expired Recreate the preview from the agent

Packaging

Problem What to check
macOS says app is damaged Quarantine/signing/notarization status
Windows installer blocked Code signing and SmartScreen reputation
Linux AppImage cannot run FUSE/AppImage dependencies

Where Logs And Settings Live

Main local state is under:

~/.vibearound/

Useful files:

  • settings.json
  • profiles/*.json
  • plugin install directories
  • auth/pairing state

Do not post API keys or channel tokens in public issues.
