When To Use
- •
loom team start <TEAM>succeeds, but manager pane shows dead (status 1) and capture output is empty.
Diagnose
- •Confirm run exists:
- •
loom team status <TEAM> --show-dead
- •
- •Capture manager:
- •
loom team capture <TEAM> manager --lines 200 --header
- •
- •Open the capture metadata file under
.team/runs/<TEAM>/captures/*.jsonand check:- •
pane.start_command - •
pane.current_command - •
pane.dead
- •
Common Root Cause: Missing team Binary
- •If
pane.start_commandbegins withteam tui ...:- •Verify:
command -v team(likely missing) - •Verify Loom exists:
command -v loom - •This means the pane died because tmux tried to run
teamdirectly.
- •Verify:
Fix Options
- •Option A (fast local): add a
teamshim on PATH that forwards to Loom.- •
teamshould behave like:loom team "$@"
- •
- •Option B (proper): adjust Loom/runner config so tmux spawns
loom team tui ...(notteam tui ...). - •Option C: pass an explicit harness
--binthat points to the correct executable if supported.
Validate
- •Restart run (or use
--force):- •
loom team start <TEAM> --force ...
- •
- •Confirm manager pane is alive:
- •
loom team status <TEAM> - •
loom team capture <TEAM> manager --lines 40
- •
