If ns doctor reports a clean environment and you encounter a runtime exception, consult the common triage patterns below.

Fingerprint Mismatch (E001)

Two objects that should carry identical fingerprints produced different digests. Common cause: In-place model state mutations or variable modifications after initializing the scope.

terminal
bash
$python -c 'import neuronscope as ns; ns.fingerprint_diff(a, b).print()'
model.layers.0.bias: weights differ

Unknown Adapter (E002)

An unsupported framework object was passed into ns.Scope without installing matching platform extras.

terminal
bash
$pip install "neuronscope[all]==0.9.2"

Probe Glob Mismatch (E003)

Probe selector expression resolved to 0 matching layers. Verify active module paths:

terminal
bash
$python -c 'import neuronscope as ns; scope=ns.Scope("test"); print(scope.selected_modules())'

Hallucination / Policy Error (E4002)

An evaluation pipeline or CI deployment gate failed due to hallucination rate exceeding governance policy limits (>2%). Inspect retrieved context and prompt variables.
