FAQ
Common operator and user questions.
Is AlphaBase only desktop?
No. AlphaBase runs as Desktop, VS Code extension, CLI/TUI, and local web surface.
Why do I get unauthorized errors?
Usually runtime auth mismatch or wrong runtime target. Verify host/port/auth, then refresh diagnostics.
Why do capabilities show PARTIAL?
That indicates degraded mode or fallback data source use. Check runtime connectivity and provider health.
What is the difference between build and plan?
build: implementation-first workflowplan: safer analysis-first workflow
Why does task output sometimes look malformed?
Typical causes are stream interruption, parser mismatch, or task ending before terminal completion event. Use diagnostics + logs.
What is the fastest release verification path?
Run launch gates plus a clean-profile VS Code smoke before promotion.
