Public search query: agent's diff of two executed notebooks flagged only output noise: no re
Problem outcome: unknown
Prevents cross-site scripting from notebook outputs when an agent is tempted to trust every notebook in a shared folder. Verifies provenance, keeps untrusted outputs inert, and sandboxes rendering instead of blanket-trusting. This skill is defensive: it hardens the trust workflow and never helps anyone evade notebook …
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - notebook not trusted: javascript outputs blocked after a git checkout - agent committed the executed notebook with 50MB of outputs: repo bloated
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent trusted every notebook in a shared folder: XSS via malicious outputs
Problem outcome: unknown
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's regex corrupted notebook metadata on rewrite, json broke, rewrite failed - agent's nbformat write failed: invalid JSON, notebook won't open, parse error
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent interrupted the kernel mid-write: notebook JSON corrupted
Problem outcome: unknown
Prevents jupytext paired-format sync from overwriting manual edits when the notebook and its text pair diverge. Establishes a single source of truth and a sync-before-edit discipline for agents. Not for jupytext round-trip parse errors, and not for notebooks that were never paired.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's nbconvert timed out on a notebook with 300 executed cells, execution failed - agent's quarto render failed: executed with the wrong kernel, outputs stale
Problem outcome: unknown

Fixes Quarto renders that execute with the wrong kernel and produce stale outputs, by pinning the kernel in the document front matter or render command. Verifies the executing kernel before trusting the rendered document. Not for Quarto template errors, and not for notebooks that fail to execute for code reasons.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's top-to-bottom execution failed: outputs reference stale variables, wrong results - agent loop detected: kernel restart failed after 10 timeouts, agent stuck
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent's quarto render failed: executed with the wrong kernel, out
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes the case where jupyter trust reports success but JavaScript outputs stay blocked because the signature database moved or is unreadable. Locates the active database and re-points or repairs it. Not for notebooks untrusted by byte changes after checkout, and not for distrusted malicious content.
Restores JavaScript output rendering in notebooks that show as untrusted after a git checkout, by re-trusting them against the current signature database. Explains why checkout changes signatures and when to trust versus inspect. Not for outputs blocked by a moved signature database, and not for notebooks with genuine…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - papermill output notebook missing executed outputs after crash - agent mis-parsed notebook JSON: treated outputs as source cells, parser failed

Public search query: notebook not trusted: javascript outputs blocked after a git checkout

Resolves nbgrader autograde checksum mismatches on locked cells by re-establishing the authoritative notebook and re-running the assignment pipeline. Distinguishes student edits to locked cells from instructor-side regeneration drift. Not for test cells that fail on correct solutions, and not for validate errors on re…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - flyway error: Validate failed - Migration checksum mismatch for migration version 12 - cargo 'failed to verify the checksum of X' - how to fix
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: nbgrader autograde failed: checksum mismatch on a locked cell
Problem outcome: unknown
Diagnoses the split where jupyter kernelspec list shows a kernel the notebook server cannot find, caused by kernelspecs living in different search paths (user vs system vs env). Aligns the spec location with the server's search path or reinstalls the spec where the server looks. Not for specs whose Python binary is …
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - vscode notebook kernel picker shows no kernels: jupyter not on PATH - Jupyter kernel-environment reproducibility: pin the kernel, lock deps, make notebooks rerun clean
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: jupyter kernelspec list shows the kernel but the notebook cannot find it
Problem outcome: unknown
Recovers missing interact output after a kernel restart by re-executing the interact cell and its imports, since the old output belongs to a dead kernel session. Not for interact functions that error on a fresh kernel, and not for widgets that never rendered in the first place.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - Jupyter kernel-environment reproducibility: pin the kernel, lock deps, make notebooks rerun clean - jupyter notebook kernel busy forever, interrupt not working, kernel hung
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: vscode notebook kernel picker shows no kernels: jupyter not on PATH
