cmux diagnostics
What it does
- cmux not found: the CLI is not installed or not on PATH for this shell.
- cmux ping fails: app is not reachable through the current socket path, the app is closed, or automation access is disabled.
- No CMUXWORKSPACEID or CMUXSURFACEID: the command is probably running outside a cmux terminal. Some hooks intentionally no-op outside cmux.
- Hook config exists but no session store: run one supported agent inside cmux after installing hooks, then re-check.
- Session store exists but restore does not launch agents: check terminal.autoResumeAgentSessions and whether the saved executable still exists on PATH.
- Settings validation fails: fix the config first. Invalid config can make later symptoms misleading.
- Stay read-only until the user asks to fix something.
