CLI Extensions Doctor

ed extensions doctor

Diagnoses setup and runtime problems for one extension or all seventeen.

ed extensions doctor [<id>] [--json]

Without an id, the human form prints a detailed report for every extension in registry order and the JSON form is an ordered array. With an id, JSON is one report object. doctor uses the same probe and JSON report as status and verify.

Checks cover the stored enabled state, required and optional permissions, required and optional tools, helper availability, platform capabilities, configured machines and supported backend or session health. Checks that do not apply are omitted, and checks behind a disabled extension are skipped. All seventeen extensions have an explicit live adapter. A missing adapter is reported as a runtime error instead of silently falling back to helper availability.

ed extensions doctor --json | jq '.[] | select(.state.phase == "failed")'

An unhealthy extension exits 0 with verified: false. This makes the command safe for noninteractive agents that need the full remediation plan.
