Probe reports no bridge
Check whether the launcher supplied credential sharing to this workspace. Restore compatible live sharing through the environment owner; an old credential payload cannot supply this helper.
Git finishes without a credential
Check the exact protocol and host and inspect the diagnostic without printing secrets. Restore the provider or correct the requested account; a zero helper exit is not successful remote authentication.
Docker reports credentials missing
Check the live bridge, exact registry spelling and the source of mounted credentials. Supply usable credentials through the intended source; a host keychain reference alone is insufficient.
A bridge error accompanies the Docker miss
Check the additional diagnostic. Repair the bridge before retrying; extra error text can prevent Docker recognizing its normal missing-credential response.
Requests pause for tens of seconds
Check whether the owning launcher/provider session is responsive. Restore that session before retrying; a present socket does not prove a timely answer.
An outage-cache message appears
Check whether the provider transport failed and verify which account is being used. Restore or replace the owning session; a remembered answer can be stale.
Storing a credential does not restore access
Check whether the key was previously erased locally. Stop affected clients and ask the environment owner to reset only the owned temporary session; storing does not clear that suppression.
An erased or revoked credential still answers
Check the actual account and any other matching credential on the same host. Revoke access at the issuer when it must stop, then reset the affected sharing session through its owner.
General help appears instead of protocol output
Check the configured helper executable name and command search path. Restore the exact helper identity required by the client.
A session update disappears
Check writable private storage and whether another client is writing simultaneously. Correct storage access and stop competing writers before retrying the owned update.
The agent refuses a connection
Check the calling account and socket ownership. Use the intended Linux account or authorized administrator; the production caller check admits its own user and root.
Kubernetes wiring reports no bridge
Check whether compatible live sharing is running. Restore it before rewiring; Kubernetes has no local credential-file fallback here.
kubectl uses the wrong account after a context change
Check the current context on the supplying host against the workspace connection. Rewire the owned configuration after selecting the intended host context.
A Kubernetes plugin is missing or needs login
Check the plugin and login on the supplying host. Install or authorize the plugin there and complete login before retrying from the workspace.
Generated cluster configuration disables TLS verification
Check whether the supplying configuration contains the correct certificate authority. Correct it and rewire before accepting a deployment that requires verified TLS.
The API server rejects access
Check the intended account, credential expiry and cluster permissions. Have the credential or cluster owner correct access; successful credential lookup does not grant authorization.
Docker configuration merge fails or changes nothing
Check registry names and the target configuration shape. Keep a backup, stop competing writers and retry only the intended merge.
A previously refused credential returns during an outage
Check whether an older remembered answer is being reused after transport failure. Stop affected clients, revoke at the issuer when required and replace the owning sharing session before accepting access again.
What you getA concrete check and recovery step for the owner of the affected access path.
