Troubleshooting Common Failures
Purpose: provide strict symptom-to-cause-to-fix guidance for common integration failures.
Failure Matrix

POST /query returns 401 (Missing bearer token) |
Authorization header missing | Send Authorization: Bearer <token> from auth bootstrap flow |

Expired/invalid JWT or wrong issuer/audience | Re-bootstrap token and confirm auth config (AUTH_ISSUER, AUTH_AUDIENCE, JWKS URL) |
POST /query returns 400 (start_ts must be <= end_ts) |
Invalid time range in request body | Ensure start_ts is less than or equal to end_ts |
POST /log returns 400/validation error |
Request body is not valid JSON object | Always send JSON body (minimum {}) |
Private channel write returns 401 |
No token supplied for owner-protected channel | Send valid owner Bearer token |

WebSocket private upgrade returns 404 |
Token acc does not match channel owner |
Reconnect with owner-account token |
