Checking service health

Development reference · View source

Space o s or :service-health opens a read-only report on optional services. It shows:

  • syntax registry failures,
  • the active document’s language server configuration and attachment,
  • Git repository discovery, including a remembered failure or pending retry,
  • the diagnostic log’s owner, level, path, and any failure.

It only probes paths, so it still works when every optional service is missing. In mux mode the log row describes the host that owns the workspace, not the client that opened the report.

The report is an informational overlay: arrows and paging scroll it, and Escape dismisses it. Printable keys and Enter cannot turn it into a filtered choice by accident.
