When it doesn't work

Before concluding that a tool is broken, the agent must look at the state of the machine: several faults produce no error.

What you ask

"Daimon doesn't seem to do anything: find out why."

What the agent does

It calls daimon_doctor, first. A single call returns the state of each organ, without ever opening a dialog. What it reads:

Key	What it tells
permissions	Which system permission is missing
consequences	What that absence concretely does to each tool
ceiling	The active ceiling
exclusions	The state of your exclusions file
overlay	Whether the process that draws the markers is alive
cannot_detect	What the diagnostic cannot see: an absence of problem there is not proof
next	The suggested next steps

The most common symptoms

Symptom	Probable cause
An action answers done with no effect	Accessibilité (Accessibility) permission missing
An action waits 30 seconds	Accessibilité permission missing, or confirmation pending
Captures fail	Enregistrement de l'écran (Screen Recording) permission missing
An action is refused	Above the ceiling, or confirmation not obtained
A capture is refused or blacked out	An application or area in your exclusions
The markers do not appear	Présence à l'écran (On-screen presence) turned off
The agent sees no Daimon tool	Daimon not registered in this agent, or agent not restarted

What you get

A named cause and the steps to follow. For causes that depend on your settings, the Troubleshooting page gives the user-side detail.

Reporting a problem

If daimon_doctor does not explain it, open an issue with its output.
