Troubleshooting
command is not allowlisted
Add the exact command to safety.allowed_commands. NightShift normalizes whitespace but otherwise expects exact matches.
Command works in PowerShell but fails in NightShift
Command stages use Python subprocess execution. By default shell: true uses the platform shell, which is usually cmd.exe on Windows. Prefer Python module commands or set explicit shell commands.
No runnable tasks
Check nightshift status. A task may be blocked by dependencies listed under Dependencies:.
Git clean worktree failure
If require_clean_worktree: true, NightShift blocks dirty repositories before creating artifacts. Commit/stash changes or set it to false.
Ollama backend fails
The ollama backend uses Ollama's local HTTP API, normally at http://localhost:11434/api/generate. Confirm Ollama is running and the configured model is available with ollama list or ollama pull <model>. Tests do not require Ollama.
Patch validation reports hunk count mismatch
Use file_writer for local model runs when possible. It asks the model for complete file blocks and lets NightShift generate the unified diff. For direct code_writer patches, the normalizer now recomputes hunk counts before validation, but malformed hunk bodies still fail validation.
Flask dashboard fails
Install Flask:
pip install flask
