Check	What It Validates
Config file	~/.unipi/config/compactor/config.json exists or defaults can be used
Session DB	SQLite connection works and session schema is usable
Runtime: node	Node.js available for sandbox/runtime helpers
Runtime: python3	Python 3 available for Python sandbox execution
Runtime: bash	Bash available for shell sandbox execution

Status Icons

• ✅ pass — check succeeded
• ⚠️ warn — non-critical issue, such as an optional runtime missing
• ❌ fail — critical issue; a feature may not work

Common Issues

"Config file: Using defaults"

• Normal on first run.
• Config is created by the extension or on settings save.
• Fix: open /unipi:compact-settings, adjust if desired, then save.

"Session DB: Connection failed"

• SQLite or better-sqlite3 may be unavailable.
• Compaction can still degrade gracefully, but stats/recall may be limited.
• Fix: verify dependencies and run package install/build steps.

"Runtime: python3 Not found"

• Python is not installed or not in PATH.
• Only needed for Python sandbox execution.
• Fix: install Python 3 or ignore if not needed.

Manual Diagnostics
