Troubleshooting
When something goes wrong, Pyre tries to surface the cause instead of hiding it behind a raw error.
A generation errors out or hangs
What you see: a typed error, a Retry button, or a "Generating..." bubble that stalls.
Fix:
- Tap Retry for transient failures.
- Check provider status, key validity, network, and model name.
- If the provider refused or failed and you have another provider configured, use smart fallback to retry the same turn elsewhere.
- For local models, enable warm-up/preload and allow longer first-request time.
Android keeps in-flight generation alive with a foreground service if you minimize mid-stream.
A provider refuses
Smart fallback detects likely refusals conservatively and offers to retry on another provider. It never switches silently.
If the same provider keeps refusing, try a different model/provider or adjust your active preset.
A Creator build is incomplete
The Creator now uses fixed structured build passes. If a pass comes back short, Pyre continues it a bounded number of times and then shows any remaining gap as a note.
Fix:
- Use a model that follows structured JSON well.
- Check the recommended-models banner in the Creator.
- If language or style is wrong, add a standing instruction in Your additions or ask the architect to revise before saving.
- Edit fields manually in the Sheet before saving when only a small correction is needed.
QR pairing or browser pairing fails
Fix:
- Make sure both devices are on the same trusted network.
- Confirm the hub/server is enabled.
- Use manual host/port/token if camera scanning fails.
- For browser one-click pairing, approve the request on the desktop app. Headless hubs use token pairing instead.
Sync did not carry something across
Sync merges by record. The newest edit for a record wins, and chats merge as whole chat records.
Fix:
- Use Force sync now.
- Check both builds are compatible.
- Avoid editing the same chat on two devices before either one syncs.
- Remember that deletions propagate through tombstones, so a deleted item should not return after the next successful sync.
BotBooru does not embed
Embedded Discover depends on platform support:
- Android and Windows embed.
- Web/PWA embeds when served by a desktop or self-host hub with the separate-origin proxy available.
- Linux may open externally.
If embed is unavailable, import by downloaded file or supported URL.
