| Generation fails immediately | Missing key, wrong endpoint, unsupported model variant, invalid input, or browser network/CORS issue | Settings provider route, API key type, base URL, selected variant, card input requirements, provider console | Re-enter Settings, choose a supported model, remove invalid references, retry one card before batch generation |
| Provider returns explicit error | Provider quota, billing, region, safety rejection, relay mapping, or payload mismatch | Provider console, response message, relay capability warning, selected media type, payload requirements | Fix provider account issue, reduce input complexity, switch route, or choose a supported relay model |
| Video is slow or appears stalled | Provider queue, long duration, high resolution, first/last-frame processing, or polling delay | Duration, resolution, variant, provider status, whether the card has a task ID or pending status | Wait for provider polling, try shorter duration, lower resolution, fast variant, or another route with lower queue pressure |
| Seedance reference error | Required first frame, last frame, or multi-reference input is missing or mixed incorrectly | Selected Seedance mode, reference roles, prompt reference tokens, card validation message | Use text-to-video with no references, image-to-video with first frame, first/last with both endpoint frames, or multi-reference with at least one free reference |
| Model output is inconsistent | Different model family, variant, safety filter, reference strength, prompt interpretation, or provider post-processing | Model family, variant, ratio, seed or settings if available, source references, prompt changes | Compare like-for-like settings, pin preferred outputs, tighten prompt/reference rules, and do not expect providers to match exactly |
| Model disappears after relay mode | Relay capability filter does not include the family or variant | Relay provider, custom relay model list, media type, Model Registry support | Switch to direct provider, choose a relay-supported model, or add verified custom relay IDs |
| Agent says it finished but no media exists | Tool returned text only, generation failed inside a tool, target card was missing, or runtime lacks tool capability | Agent tool transcript, normalized { success: boolean } result, created Cards, selected tab, capability profile | Ask for explicit card creation/generation, run capability test, check card errors, or do the generation manually |
| Agent cannot complete task | Request is ambiguous, destructive, external-effectful, or unsupported by current tools/runtime | Original request, target IDs, tool availability, confirmation requirements, Agent runtime profile | Narrow the target, confirm risky action, choose a capable runtime, or split into manual steps |
| i18n or language display looks wrong | Locale store mismatch, missing translation key, incorrect key path, or stale browser state | Current language setting, visible key text, related sibling translation keys, browser reload | Switch language and reload, report exact key/path, avoid inline language branching in future UI edits |
| Assets disappear or cannot be selected | Unpinned recent asset cleanup, browser storage cleared, quota pressure, or project/global picker mismatch | Asset Dock pinned state, SmartPicker mode, browser site data, project context | Re-import source asset, pin important outputs, switch picker scope, export important projects |
| Local Core feature does not respond | Local engine not running, pairing failed, blocked port, wrong binary, or feature not enabled | Local Core process, pairing code, local endpoint, browser/network errors | Restart trusted local engine, pair again, verify feature need, or use browser-only workflow |
| Export is missing expected files | Workshop stage incomplete, output not generated, export mode mismatch, or unsupported package path | Workshop project scenes, selected media, export mode, available generated assets | Generate missing stage, select final assets, retry export, or hand off downloaded Card outputs |
