## `/sf doctor`
The built-in diagnostic tool validates `.sf/` integrity:
```
/sf doctor
```
It checks file structure, referential integrity, completion state consistency, git worktree health, and stale lock files.
## Common issues
<AccordionGroup>
<Accordion title="Auto mode loops on the same unit">
**Cause:** Stale cache after a crash, or the LLM didn't produce the expected artifact.
**Fix:** Run `/sf doctor` to repair state, then `/sf auto`.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Auto mode stops with 'Loop detected'">
**Cause:** A unit failed to produce its expected artifact twice in a row.
**Fix:** Check the task plan for clarity. Refine it manually, then `/sf auto`.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="command not found: sf">
**Cause:** npm's global bin directory isn't in `$PATH`.
**Fix:**
```bash
npm prefix -g
echo 'export PATH="$(npm prefix -g)/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
```
**Workaround:** `npx sf-run` or `$(npm prefix -g)/bin/sf`
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Provider errors during auto mode">
| Error type | Auto-resume? | Delay |
|-----------|-------------|-------|
| Rate limit (429) | Yes | retry-after or 60s |
| Server error (500, 502, 503) | Yes | 30s |
| Auth/billing | No | Manual resume |
For transient errors, configure fallback models:
```yaml
models:
execution:
model: claude-sonnet-4-6
fallbacks:
- openrouter/minimax/minimax-m2.5
```
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Budget ceiling reached">
Increase `budget_ceiling` in preferences, or switch to `budget` token profile. Resume with `/sf auto`.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Stale lock file">
SF auto-detects stale locks. If automatic recovery fails:
```bash
rm -f .sf/auto.lock
rm -rf "$(dirname .sf)/.sf.lock"
```
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Git merge conflicts on .sf/ files">
SF auto-resolves conflicts on `.sf/` runtime files. For code conflicts, the LLM attempts resolution. If that fails, resolve manually.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="EBUSY / EPERM / EACCES on Windows">
**Cause:** Antivirus, indexers, or editors briefly locking files during atomic rename.
**Fix:** Re-run the operation. Close tools holding files open if the error persists. Run `/sf doctor` to verify repo health.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Worktree isolation stopped working after upgrade to v2.45+">
**Cause:** The default `git.isolation` mode changed from `worktree` to `none` in v2.45.0.
**Fix:** Set `git.isolation: worktree` explicitly in your preferences:
```yaml
git:
isolation: worktree
```
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Node.js version or git not found at startup">
**Cause:** SF v2.45+ checks for Node.js >= 22 and git availability at startup.
**Fix:** Install Node.js 22+ (24 LTS recommended) and ensure `git` is in your PATH.
</Accordion>

## `/sf forensics`
Full-access debugger for post-mortem analysis:
```
/sf forensics [optional problem description]
```
Provides anomaly detection, unit traces, metrics analysis, doctor integration, and LLM-guided investigation.
## MCP client issues
Use `/sf mcp` to check MCP server status and connectivity at a glance.
<AccordionGroup>
<Accordion title="No configured servers">
Verify `.mcp.json` or `.sf/mcp.json` exists and parses as valid JSON.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="mcp_discover times out">
Run the configured command outside SF to confirm the server starts. Check backend URLs and dependencies.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Local server works manually but not in SF">
Use absolute paths. Set required environment variables in the MCP config's `env` block.
</Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
## Recovery procedures
### Reset auto mode state
```bash
rm .sf/auto.lock
rm .sf/completed-units.json
```
Then `/sf auto` to restart from current disk state.
### Reset routing history
```bash
rm .sf/routing-history.json
```
### Full state rebuild
```
/sf doctor
```
Rebuilds `STATE.md` from plan and roadmap files on disk.
