Support

Collect diagnostics, redact private data, and choose the right support route for Coven docs or runtime issues.

2 min read

Collect a small, redacted evidence packet when Troubleshooting does not resolve your problem.

Collect diagnostics

Start with the smallest useful set:

coven doctor
coven daemon status

For a session or installation-path problem, add the relevant output:

coven sessions --plain
coven config paths --json

If one recorded session is involved, inspect it without attaching:

coven sessions show <session-id>
coven sessions log <session-id>
coven sessions events <session-id> --limit 100

Replace <session-id> with that session's id. For machine pressure on macOS, add:

coven pc status

Redact before you share

Do not paste any of the following into public issues, chat, or screenshots:

  • provider credentials, tokens, cookies, or shell history that contains them;
  • full prompt or log content if it includes private code, customer data, or secrets;
  • raw session artifacts you do not intend to make public;
  • private filesystem paths, repo names, or usernames when a placeholder is enough.

Prefer replacements such as <repo>, <session-id>, <path>, and <redacted>. Review the output before sharing it, including output described as redacted.

You found a security vulnerabilityReport it privately using the security policy. Runtime vulnerabilities belong to the repository that owns the affected contract; if ownership is unclear, maintainers can route a private report.
You are not sure whether it is a bug yetStart with the community route below and bring your redacted diagnostics.

What to include

  • the exact command you ran;
  • what you expected to happen;
  • what happened instead;
  • your OS, install route, and whether you use COVEN_HOME;
  • the installed Coven version;
  • redacted coven doctor output and any session or daemon command output that makes the problem reproducible.

Community routes

For a vulnerability, use a private GitHub Security Advisory or ask the official Discord maintainers for a private security channel. Share vulnerability details only through the private route. An inaccurate documentation claim can use a normal docs issue unless it creates an exploitable condition or exposes sensitive data.
