Diagnostics

The diagnostics scanner verifies that your workspace is ready to run and surfaces actionable fixes when something is missing.

What it checks

  • Node.js version vs. engines.node in package.json
  • Dependencies inventory · click the tile to see installed and missing package names
  • Git repository health
  • Project metadata (name, version, license, description from package.json, GitHub, or README)
  • GitHub Releases and Deployments when the linked repo has them

Repairs

Warnings can trigger repair actions in the live terminal stream, including:

  • Clear npm cache
  • Audit fix
  • Reinstall node_modules
  • Install missing packages

When to use Diagnostics

  • After cloning a new repository
  • When the dev runner fails to start
  • Before handing a workspace to a teammate
  • Anytime Node or dependency versions look wrong
