Run these in order:Common “it broke” cases
clawdia: command not found
Almost always a Node/npm PATH issue. Start here:
Installer fails (or you need full logs)
Re-run the installer in verbose mode to see the full trace and npm output:CLAWDIA_VERBOSE=1 instead of the flag.
Gateway “unauthorized”, can’t connect, or keeps reconnecting
Control UI fails on HTTP (device identity required)
docs.clawdia.cc shows an SSL error (Comcast/Xfinity)
Some Comcast/Xfinity connections block docs.clawdia.cc via Xfinity Advanced Security.
Disable Advanced Security or add docs.clawdia.cc to the allowlist, then retry.
- Xfinity Advanced Security help: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/using-xfinity-xfi-advanced-security
- Quick sanity checks: try a mobile hotspot or VPN to confirm it’s ISP-level filtering
Service says running, but RPC probe fails
Model/auth failures (rate limit, billing, “all models failed”)
/model says model not allowed
This usually means agents.defaults.models is configured as an allowlist. When it’s non-empty,
only those provider/model keys can be selected.
- Check the allowlist:
clawdia config get agents.defaults.models - Add the model you want (or clear the allowlist) and retry
/model - Use
/modelsto browse the allowed providers/models
When filing an issue
Paste a safe report:clawdia logs --follow.
