Health Checks on macOS

How to see whether the Gateway and linked channels are healthy from the menu bar app.
  • Status dot reflects Gateway/channel health:
    • Green: gateway reachable and linked channel sockets opened recently when channel data is available.
    • Orange: connecting/retrying.
    • Red: logged out or probe failed.
  • Secondary line reads “linked · auth 12m” or shows the failure reason.
  • “Run Health Check” menu item triggers an on-demand probe.

​
Settings

  • General tab gains a Health card showing: linked auth age, session-store path/count, last check time, last error/status code, and buttons for Run Health Check / Reveal Logs.
  • Uses a cached snapshot so the UI loads instantly and falls back gracefully when offline.
  • Channel account setup and routing are managed in the browser Control UI under Agent > Channels. The macOS app can surface health, but it is not the source of truth for Agent routing.

​
How the probe works

  • App runs fased health --json via ShellExecutor every ~60s and on demand. The probe loads creds and reports status without sending messages.
  • Cache the last good snapshot and the last error separately to avoid flicker; show the timestamp of each.

​
When in doubt

  • You can still use the CLI flow in Gateway health (fased status, fased status --deep, fased health --json) and fased logs --follow for gateway diagnostics.
