The written lesson is complete now.

Require a real trace UUID

The current inventory is empty. This lesson never inserts a fabricated identifier merely to make a detail command render.

Use PowerShell.
01

Separate lifecycle from delegation

The mission moved through running, paused, and cancelled. Its handoffs, tokens, and tool calls stayed at zero. Lifecycle state does not prove delegation.

02

Read the current inventory

Run in your terminal
armaraos orchestration list --limit 20
armaraos orchestration list --limit 20 --json
Real empty orchestration JSON followed by trace help requiring a UUID
Fresh live output and help / 24 August 2026

The empty array matches the empty mission handoff list.

03

Use only an ID from the inventory

Run in your terminal
armaraos orchestration trace <TRACE_ID>
armaraos orchestration trace <TRACE_ID> --json

A trace UUID comes from a populated list. No row means no valid detail command to run.

04

Keep four views distinct

ViewMeaning
traceEvery recorded event in order.
treeWho delegated to whom.
costToken and cost rollup.
liveSnapshot of an active trace.
05

Diagnose emptiness in order

  1. Read mission handoffs and token stats.
  2. Recheck quota on the owner UUID.
  3. Run doctor and inspect logs.
  4. Check provider concurrency and rate limits.
06

Protect populated traces

A future trace can contain prompt text and returned content. Read and redact before sharing it.

Check it / reconcile two empty views

Explain why no trace ID exists.

Run the JSON list and connect its empty array to the mission's empty handoff and zero-token detail.

Safety note

Trace records can contain prompts, agent IDs, tool arguments, and returned text. Treat a future populated trace as sensitive operational data.

Troubleshooting for this sitting
What you seeLikely causeWhat to do
Trace list is emptyNo delegation event was recorded.Compare mission handoffs and stats.
Detail needs an IDIDs come from a populated list.Do not invent one.
Mission has a final stateThat is lifecycle evidence.Look for handoffs before claiming delegation.
A future trace has private textPrompts or output were recorded.Redact before sharing.
