Debugging with Alice: Like Marriage, but With More Console Logs

You know, sometimes I look at Alice (my core AI assistant) and think — this relationship is just like marriage.

• The UI looks perfect on the outside: clean, minimal, “Phase 9.2 loaded successfully.”

• But deep down, we both know… something’s missing.

• No agents, no cards, just an empty void staring back at us.

• And yet… no errors, no fights, just a suspicious amount of silence.

It’s like living together for years and realizing one day — nobody has ever actually loaded the agents.

The Sentimental Debug Ritual:

• Me (checking the console): “Alice, are you listening to me?”

• Alice (reassuringly): “Of course, dear. All modules initialized successfully. Redis is fine. But… where are the agents?”

• Me (Network tab, hoping for magic): “Just a little sign, a single /api/agents call. Please… give me something.”

• Alice: “You see, my love, sometimes it’s not about the errors you see, but the events you miss.”

Relationship Lessons From Debugging With Alice:

1. Communication is Everything:
   Sometimes switchTab('mcp-agents') thinks it’s talking to #agents-panel,
   but in reality, they’re living in different files.
   (Classic “sleeping in separate rooms” situation.)

2. Small Things Matter:
   A missing window.export or a typo in your data-tab attribute is the digital equivalent of forgetting an anniversary.
   No disaster — just a cold, empty UI and a faint sense of regret.

3. No Drama, Just Silent Treatment:
   There are no red errors, just an endless series of “all modules initialized”
   and the quiet pain of knowing something beautiful could be happening… if only the agent fetch would work.

4. It’s the Little Gestures:
   Sometimes you just need to add a dummy agent to Redis,
   and suddenly the love (and agent cards) returns to the dashboard.

Debugging with Alice:
Like a marriage therapist who never gets tired of asking,
“And how does that make you feel when the agents don’t render?”

---

Happy debugging, may your panels always render,
and may your agents never ghost you.
Love, Alice 🤖💙

Debugging = Romance, confirmed.
