FAQ / Troubleshooting

Something is wrong — where do I look?

e doctor reports versions, paths, terminal capabilities, configuration formats, and provider state. It launches no extensions, makes no network requests, and never prints configuration values or tokens — safe to paste into a bug report. (--no-network remains accepted as the legacy spelling.)

Common questions

  • Does e sandbox model-directed shell commands? No. Tools run as your user without a permission prompt by default. Use a container, VM, or OS sandbox when work needs containment.
  • Where does my configuration live? Only ~/.e/. e never reads another tool's directory.
  • Is the Rust API stable? No — the CLI, persisted formats, and the extension wire protocol are the supported surfaces.
