​
Diagnose a problem

Read-only. It changes nothing and is safe to run any time. The same report is behind the wizard’s Help → Diagnose a problem.

​
The lines that actually answer questions

Versions are graded against a cached manifest. A comparison against a three-week-old manifest is not the same claim as a fresh one, so the age is printed. Past a day, “up to date” stops being a claim worth making plainly.
The single most useful line in the report. A detached auto-updater that has been silently failing looks identical to a working one from every other angle.
Where the capture token actually resolved: the paired file, your environment, or the Probe config. “Capture is off” and “the paired file is gone but the environment still has a token” are different problems with the same appearance.
Writes queue locally by default. A non-zero pending count means work is recorded but not yet delivered; dead-lettered means delivery failed permanently and needs a decision. See the outbox.
The team note is a local file that syncs both ways. Unsynced edits are yours, not yet pushed.

​
Common states and what they mean

On pi, working MCP tools do not prove capture is running. A settings file can carry the package with no extensions: skills and the MCP manifest load, index.ts does not, and tracking reads as on while no daemon spawns. probe doctor names that state explicitly — trust it over the fact that tools appear to work.

​
Do it by hand

Prints every command the wizard runs, for the agents you name. It is generated from the same constants the wizard uses, so it cannot drift from what the wizard does. Deliberately not in the menu — it is the rarest path, and it is what air-gapped installs use.

​
Uninstalling

It stops capture and imports, clears local import history, removes the plugins and signs this device out — the tokens saved here are revoked, so setting Probe up again will ask you to sign in. Nothing already sent to your team’s knowledgebase is touched. Uninstalling a client does not delete data. To keep the plugins and only drop the credentials, use Sign out instead. To turn capture off and keep everything else, use Settings — --uninstall is the flag that makes a capture-off also remove the plugin, and it is off by default.
