Connection troubleshooting

Symptom What to try
Host not detected Install/open the host once; re-run occam connect
Config validated host unchanged Pass --only <id>
“Unmanaged entry” Existing ff-occam not owned by Occam — inspect it; --force only if you intend to replace
Commented JSON (VS Code / Zed) Connect refuses to rewrite (would strip comments) — paste manually
Almost ready forever Restart the named app; reload MCP servers
Action required Complete the host’s trust/approve UI
Not ready occam doctor then occam smoke; see Troubleshooting
CI mutated nothing Expected — desktop mutation is off in CI
