trajectory_not_found

Error message

no trajectories on this machine yet — start one with trajectory {action:"start"}

What it means

resolveTrajectory: the trajectories directory has no recorded trajectories yet (or is unreadable), so neither 'latest' nor any traj-*.jsonl id can be resolved; ids escaping the directory are also refused rather than read. The absence of any recording is the condition at fault, not a malformed id.

Solutions

1. Start a trajectory first: trajectory {action:"start"}.
2. Pass id:"latest" to operate on the most recent trajectory if one exists on another machine-synced store.

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at crates/tui/plugins/computer-use/src/trajectory.mjs:82 when the library encounters an invalid state.

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.
