Doctor

elanous doctor tells you what this machine still needs. It never changes anything unless you ask it to (the one exception: with --fix on a terminal it may offer to install git, and waits for your answer).

elanous doctor

What it reports

1. Credentials — for each key elanous can use (for example OPENAI_API_KEY, XAI_API_KEY, TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN): whether it resolves, where it came from, which capability needs it, and the free alternative if there is one (often a subscription login such as elanous login openai-codex).
2. Tools — the external commands elanous calls (rg, git, python3, ssh, …) and whether each is on PATH. See External commands.
3. Readiness — one line per check, each ending in ok, manual, or a problem, with the fix at the end of the line. Checks include:

Check	What it looks at
provider-decision	Which LLM provider is configured
gh-auth	Whether gh auth status succeeds (needed for pull requests)
harness-tools	rg, codex and node on PATH
install-path	Whether you run an installed copy or a checkout
service-version	Whether the background service runs the same version as this copy
bun-version	Whether your Bun matches the tested version
service-file · service-secrets	The service definition uses a stable path and carries no provider keys
build-toolchain · node-pty	The compiler and the terminal library load
python-env	The Python environment and its required modules
docker · kubernetes · memory	Optional container runtime, cluster and available memory
bun-tmpdir	TMPDIR and Bun's cache are on the same filesystem (Linux)

The last line counts what is left to do.

Fixing things

elanous doctor --fix              # show the repairs it would make
elanous doctor --fix --yes        # apply them
elanous doctor --fix --yes --sudo # also run the planned sudo install lines (only where sudo works without a password)

Option	What it does
--fix	Show reversible repairs. On a terminal it may offer to install a missing git; everything else needs --yes
--yes	Apply the planned repairs (with --fix)
--sudo	Also run the planned sudo install lines, only where sudo -n true works (with --fix --yes)
--restart	Restart the background service when it runs a different version than this copy, then verify it (with --fix --yes; interrupts bots, terminals and running turns)
--credentials	Show details for each credential in the normal output
--advise	Ask your configured model to rank the suggested repairs (advice only; changes nothing)
--json	Structured output

⚠️ Some headings and remedies are still printed in Korean. The check names and the ok / manual status are in English.
