My scaffold seems stuck — what's happening?
2 min
Scaffold runs through up to 5 fix-pipeline iterations on each generator. Activity Stream shows every step.
The scaffold pipeline runs many discrete stages: archetype-match, decompose, finalize-plan, then per-generator emit + fix-pipeline. Most apps land in 60-120 seconds; complex ones can take longer.
What to check:
- Console tab: streams every generator's stdout / stderr. - Activity Stream (bottom-right of the chrome): every stage emits an event with timestamp + duration. - Local SLM status (sidebar): if the SLM crashed, the planner is waiting forever. The Status Strip at the bottom shows the model state.
The fix-pipeline is the slowest stage — when a generator's output has a typecheck error, the SLM iterates up to 5 times trying to fix it (raised from 3 in v1.2 to give small models headroom). 5 iterations × ~10 seconds = up to 50 seconds per generator. Expected; watch the Activity Stream to confirm progress.
