Troubleshooting
Common QUIC Issues
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Connection timeout | Firewall blocking UDP | sudo ufw allow 4433/udp |
| Certificate error | Invalid or expired cert | Regenerate with npm run certs:generate |
| Peer not found | Not in agent_registry | Ensure agent registered with quicEnabled: true |
| High fallback rate | Network quality issues | Check network, adjust connectionTimeout |
Common Neural Issues
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Insufficient patterns | <50 patterns in bank | Accumulate more patterns first |
| Training OOM | Insufficient memory | Increase heap: NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096" |
| Low accuracy | Insufficient training data | Gather more patterns or tune hyperparameters |
| Slow inference | Cache disabled | Enable cache in config: warmCache: true |
