Breaks the spawn loop when a kernelspec points at a deleted conda environment by removing the stale spec and registering a kernel for a live environment. Stops the never-ready kernel from retrying forever. Not for kernels that start but crash on import, and not for specs invisible due to search paths.
Keeps agent-scheduled notebooks alive on JupyterHubs that cull idle servers by configuring activity, cull timeouts, or an external scheduler instead. Stops long runs from being killed mid-execution. Not for kernels dying on their own, and not for runs that exceed a workflow timeout like Airflow's.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent scheduled a Durable Object alarm test that fired the production handler - agent scheduled the notebook but the cron env had no ipykernel, execution failed
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent scheduled the notebook on a jupyterhub that culls idle servers:
Problem outcome: unknown
Works around permission-denied errors when installing a kernelspec as a non-root user by targeting the user-level kernels directory instead of the shared system one. Uses --user or an explicit user data directory so no elevated privileges are needed. Not for specs invisible due to server search paths, and not for ke…
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
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent VPN session expired mid-authorized-scan and the agent failed to reconnect - Adyen: Session has expired (Checkout 14_008)
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: sparkmagic livy session timed out: session expired, no reconnect
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes Deepnote scheduled runs failing with out-of-memory on a large merge. Use when the scheduled run OOMs but interactive runs survive. Not for kernel or environment install issues.
Fixes Voila 403 websocket errors when the origin check fails behind an ingress. Use when the dashboard HTML loads but live updates and kernel messages are blocked. Not for template or kernel-start failures.
Fixes Voila dashboards whose kernel dies on start because ipykernel is missing from the Voila environment. Use when the dashboard page loads but no kernel can start. Not for template 404s or websocket 403s.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent loop detected: install ipykernel, restart, fail, repeating the same steps - The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically - crash loop
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: voila kernel died on dashboard start: missing ipykernel in the voila env
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes JupyterHub idle culler killing servers mid-run and losing long cell executions. Use when servers vanish during long computations with culler log lines. Not for kernel crashes or spawn failures.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - Anchor Browser: set idle_timeout and max_duration at create, or long jobs get killed - mysql 'MySQL server has gone away' on long-running queries: wait_timeout vs the query
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: jupyterhub idle culler killed the server mid-run: long cell lost
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes JupyterHub OAuth callback failures with a state mismatch when running behind a reverse proxy. Use when login redirects loop or the callback rejects the state parameter. Not for allow-list 403s or spawn errors.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's TLS fingerprint check failed behind the corporate proxy - Bright Data CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED behind the proxy - trust the new CA and move to port 44445
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: jupyterhub oauth callback failed: state mismatch behind a reverse proxy
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes JupyterHub proxy 503 errors after a hub restart when singleuser routes are not re-registered. Use when servers show Running but the proxy cannot reach them. Not for spawn failures or OAuth problems.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - jupyterhub 403 forbidden: user not in the allowed list for this server - jupyter kernel died after pip install inside notebook, ImportError on restart
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: jupyterhub proxy error 503 after a hub restart: routes not re-registered
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes JupyterHub 403 responses when a user is not on the authenticator allow list for a server. Use when login works but spawn is rejected with forbidden. Not for proxy 503s, OAuth callback errors, or image problems.
