Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting means matching what you see (a symptom) to what to try next — without guessing or opening a support ticket first. Use this page when X4RGE does not behave the way you expect: sign-in, GitHub, a cloud agent run, or the desktop app after login.

Most issues are access, organization policy, integration setup, or network — not a broken product. A few checks often fix them in minutes.

Press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl K (Windows) to search the rest of the docs, then use the tables below. Same self-service pattern as other agent platforms: fix the common cases yourself, escalate only when needed.

What this page is for

AreaWhat goes wrongYou'll learn
Sign-in and accessCan't log in, "no access" after login, wrong screenWhich sign-in flow to use and when to ask for an invite
IntegrationsGitHub connected but empty, no PR, Slack/Linear won't connectWhat works today and what your admin must approve
Cloud agentsRun blocked, wrong model, stuck, install failedBudget vs model policy vs setup — and where to look
NetworkWorks at home, fails on office VPNWhat IT may need to allow
Desktop and CLIBrowser login does not return to the IDE; CLI won't authHandoff and org settings

Start here

  1. Search the docs

    Try different keywords — "GitHub", "budget", "sign in", "cloud agent".

  2. Pick your symptom

    Use In practice or jump to the section that fits.

  3. Try the fix

    Follow the steps in that section. Change one thing at a time so you know what helped.

  4. Escalate if needed

    Use Who can fix what — admin for policy, support for product bugs.

In practice

Pick the row that sounds like your situation, then open the linked section.

Who can fix what

Knowing who to ask saves time. Try the section fixes first; use this table when you need someone else.

You need…AskThey can…
Invite to the organizationOrganization adminAdd you in Members
Higher budget or model enabledOrganization adminUsage, Model control
GitHub app on a company orgAdmin or repo ownerApprove install and repo access
Firewall / VPN allowlistIT or network adminAllow domains in Network
Bug after all steps aboveX4RGE supportHelp & support, support@x4rge.ai
Admins troubleshoot too

Organization admins use the same symptom tables when helping their team — plus the dashboard for members, usage, and integrations.

Sign-in and access

Sign-in problems usually mean the wrong entry point, no org membership yet, or a desktop handoff that did not finish. Work through these in order.

  1. Use the right sign-in flow

    Sign in from the product you use — dashboard, desktop app, or CLI — and complete auth in the browser if prompted.

  2. Check organization access

    If you land on a no-access page after sign-in, you may not be in an organization yet. Ask an admin to invite you from Members.

  3. Desktop return to IDE

    If the browser does not hand off back to the IDE, see Deeplinks and try signing in again from the app.

What you seeWhat to do
Can't sign in / connection errorRetry; check VPN; try another network; see Help if it persists
No access after sign-inRequest invite from org admin
Wrong product after loginPlatform operators may route to Console — members use the dashboard
Desktop "handoff" errorRestart sign-in from the IDE; see Deeplinks

Integrations

Integrations connect X4RGE to tools you already use. GitHub is fully supported today; Slack and Linear may appear in the UI before connect is finished — see below.

GitHub

SymptomWhat to try
Repos missing in pickerConfirm the repo is selected in GitHub app settings; refresh Integrations; wait a minute for sync
Connection failedRe-open Integrations; confirm admin approved the connection if required
Automations not firingRepo must be connected; automation scope must match the repository
No PR after runGitHub app needs write access; check branch protection allows bot PRs

See GitHub integration for setup steps.

Slack and Linear

Coming soon

Slack and Linear may appear on Integrations but connect is not fully available yet. Use GitHub for production automations. See Slack and Linear for status and workarounds.

IntegrationToday
GitHubFully connectable
SlackUse Agents workspace and GitHub notifications until connect ships
LinearPaste issue URLs into cloud agent tasks; use GitHub for repo work

Cloud agents

Cloud agent issues usually fall into three buckets: spend policy (budget or plan), model policy (admin allowed list), or environment (install commands and network inside the run). Check which message or status you see, then try the matching row.

SymptomWhat to try
Run blocked for budget or planCheck Usage — included vs on-demand; ask admin about budget or plan allowance
"Model not allowed"Model control — admin may need to enable the model or group
Run stuck waitingCheck run status in Agents workspace; retry later or ask admin
Setup / install failsFix cloud agent setup commands to match CI; allow package registries on network
Run completes but no PRSee GitHub permissions above
Include run ID

For support, copy the run ID from the Agents workspace. See Help & support.

Pair with Cloud agent setup and Security & network if installs fail inside the cloud environment.

Network and firewalls

If X4RGE works on your home network but not at the office, your company VPN or proxy may block outbound HTTPS. You cannot fix this alone — share the list below with IT.

Ask your network admin to allow HTTPS to:

DomainPurpose
*.4rged.aiX4RGE apps and APIs
github.com, api.github.comGitHub integration
registry.npmjs.orgnpm installs in cloud runs
pypi.org, files.pythonhosted.orgPython installs in cloud runs

Full egress guidance for cloud sandboxes is in Security & network. Test from the same network your developers use.

Desktop and CLI

The desktop app and CLI sign in through the browser, then hand control back to your machine. Failures here are almost always handoff, session, or org policy — not your code.

SymptomWhat to try
IDE doesn't open after browser loginDeeplinks — retry handoff from desktop
CLI auth failsRe-run login flow; confirm org admin enabled API keys if using headless CI
Policy / model list emptySign in again; confirm org membership and Model control

See CLI overview and Headless CLI for install and CI auth.

Still stuck?

You tried the section that matched your symptom and it did not help. Escalate with context so support or your admin can reproduce the issue quickly.

  1. Help & support — full escalation guide and response expectations.
  2. Organization admin — if the issue is access, budget, models, or GitHub on your org.
  3. support@x4rge.ai — product bugs and sign-in after the steps above.

Include: organization name, run ID (for cloud agents), exact error text, what you expected, what you already tried, and when it happened.
