OpenViking Memory Doctor

Client-side troubleshooting for the OpenViking memory plugin. The plugin has three moving parts and each fails silently in its own way:

  • Install — marketplace registration, plugin enablement, the nine hooks, the stdio MCP proxy. When these are wrong, hooks never run and nothing is logged anywhere.
  • Configuration — ~/.openviking/ovcli.conf, ~/.openviking/ov.conf and OPENVIKING_* environment variables, resolved as env → ovcli.conf → ov.conf → defaults. A malformed file reads as "no config", which silently disables the plugin; a stray env var silently overrides the file.
  • Connection — on a self-hosted server /health answers 200 even with a bad key, so the statusline can be green while every real request 401s. On OpenViking Cloud the gateway authenticates /health and /ready too, so the same probe answers 401 without a key and says nothing about the url.
