🚨 DASHBOARD DEBUGGING CHECKLIST

YOUR ISSUE

"Loading 6D Dashboard... NEVER LOADS"

---

🎯 IMMEDIATE ACTION

Step 1: Test React Rendering

cd apps/6d-dashboard
npm run dev

What to expect:

• If it says "✅ React is rendering correctly!" → ✅ React works, problem is in Dashboard
• If it says "Loading..." → ❌ React not loading, check errors
• If you see red error box → ❌ Error during init, copy the error

---

🔍 CHECK THESE FIRST

Check 1: Browser Console Errors

1. Press F12 or Cmd+Option+I
2. Click Console tab
3. Look for RED text - copy it

Check 2: Network Issues

1. Click Network tab
2. Look for red entries or 404 errors
3. Are any requests timing out?

Check 3: Local Storage

// Paste in console:
localStorage.clear();
sessionStorage.clear();
location.reload();

📋 IF YOU SEE AN ERROR

Error Message	Likely Cause	Fix
Cannot find module 'X'	Import path broken	Check path in vite.config.ts @ alias
Redux store error	Missing selector	Check sixd.selectors.ts exports all
THREE.js error	3D rendering broken	Disable SixDScene temporarily
Cannot read property X of undefined	Component prop missing	Check component defaults
Timeout	Async never completes	Check ThorSixDClient methods return

🛠️ QUICK FIXES TO TRY

Fix 1: Clear Cache & Rebuild

cd apps/6d-dashboard
rm -rf node_modules/.vite
npm run build
npm run dev

Fix 2: Check Node Version

node --version
# Should be v18+ or v20+

Fix 3: Check Vite Config

# In apps/6d-dashboard, vite.config.ts should have:
resolve: {
    alias: {
        '@': path.resolve(__dirname, './src'),
    },
}

Fix 4: Verify Main Files Exist

# These MUST exist:
ls src/main.tsx
ls src/app/router.tsx
ls src/app/routes/dashboard-6d/index.tsx
ls src/data/sixd.state.ts

---

🔧 ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS

If You Still Can't Find the Issue:

1. Check Build Output

npm run build
# Copy any error messages

2. Check TypeScript

npm run type-check
# Should complete with no errors

3. Enable Debug Logging

// In main.tsx, uncomment:
localStorage.setItem("DEBUG", "true");

4. Simplify Dashboard
   • Comment out SixDScene import
   • Comment out LcarsLauncher
   • Remove all complex components
   • Add back one-by-one

💡 COMMON CULPRITS

1. Three.js Bloom Effect → Hangs rendering

   • Solution: Disable Bloom, use simple 2D placeholder

2. Redux State Selectors → Missing selector causes error

   • Solution: Verify all selectors exist in sixd.selectors.ts

3. CSS Theme Variables → Missing Aurora variables

   • Solution: Verify generateAuroraCss() in main.tsx

4. Circular Imports → Module resolution fails

   • Solution: Check for @/components importing from @/app

5. Vite Alias → Path @ not resolving

   • Solution: Check vite.config.ts alias configuration

---

📞 WHEN REPORTING THE ISSUE

Please provide:

1. Exact error message (copy from console/error box)
2. Browser used (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
3. Node version (node --version)
4. Package manager (npm, yarn, pnpm)
5. Output of this command:

npm run build 2>&1 | head -50

---

✅ VERIFICATION CHECKLIST

After fixes, confirm:

• npm run dev starts without errors
• Console has no red errors
• Page loads (not stuck on spinner)
• DebugTest shows "✅ React is rendering correctly!"
• Dashboard shows 6D ring
• Left sidebar with discipline pills works
• Launcher button expands/collapses
• Clicking items in launcher works

---

🚀 IF ALL ELSE FAILS

Nuclear option - rebuild everything:

cd apps/6d-dashboard

# Remove everything
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json dist .vite

# Reinstall fresh
npm install

# Rebuild
npm run build

# Test
npm run dev

🔴 Before Fix:     "Loading 6D Dashboard..." → never loads
🟡 Testing Phase:  Debug component shows → React is working
🟢 Final:          Dashboard renders 3D ring → ✅ Fixed!
