Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. If the extension shows "No repository detected":

   • Refresh the GitHub page
   • Make sure you're on a repository page

2. If analysis fails:

   • Check that the backend server is running
   • Look for errors in the server logs

3. If the extension doesn't load:

   • Check Chrome's extension page for errors
   • Try reloading the extension

Server Logs

The FastAPI server logs all operations. Check the terminal where you ran start_server.sh for detailed error messages.
