Troubleshooting Empty States

Many Grok Code surfaces stay empty until you create the state they depend on.

Common Examples

• Gate is empty until a run stages an artifact
• Recall is sparse until you have saved work
• checkpoint restore has nothing to show until a checkpoint exists
• harness report and diff need prior runs
• bench needs a scorecard
• memory and notepads need content

What To Ask Yourself

• did I create a saved session yet?
• did a run stage an artifact yet?
• did I generate evidence yet?
• am I in a git repository where this feature needs one?
