Troubleshooting

The State List Feels Too Big

Check whether some items are UI projection details.

Use state for product behavior:

uploading(progress)
failed(message)
completed(remoteID)

Use projection for display details:

isButtonEnabled
spinnerVisible
titleText

The Reducer Wants To Call A Service

Stop and create an effect.

Reducers request work. Effect handlers execute work.

Navigation Is Still In The View

Route decisions should be emitted by the reducer:

state + event -> next state + route

The UI or coordinator interprets the route.

Parent Communication Is Hidden In Closures

Use Output.

Outputs make parent communication testable and reviewable.

AI Generated Code Drifts From The Contract

Use AI mode:

swift run intentflow ai-context .intentflow/login.intentflow.yaml --tool codex

Then ask the agent to update manifest, Swift types, reducer, projection, and tests together.

Manifest Validation Fails

Check:

• schemaVersion
• feature
• mode
• non-empty states, intents, effects, invariants, and acceptance traces for AI mode
• indentation
• quoted values when text contains punctuation

Generated Feature Does Not Match Your Domain

The generator creates a skeleton. Rename states, effects, and routes before integrating deeply.

Do not keep placeholder domain names just because the generator produced them.

CodeQL Takes Longer Than CI

Swift CodeQL builds can take longer because CodeQL extracts a database while building. This is expected. The workflow uses a manual Swift build that includes package sources, tests, demo app code, examples, migration samples, and the DocC tutorial Swift sample so the visible CodeQL coverage matches the repository.

The GitHub Wiki Tab Is Empty

The versioned wiki source lives in:

docs/wiki

GitHub stores the visible Wiki tab in a separate .wiki.git repository. GitHub creates that repository only after the first Wiki page is created from the browser. After that, run:

./scripts/publish-wiki.sh
