script ' ' not found

Error message

script '{}' not found

What it means

`atuin script get <name>` bails with this when no script matching the given name exists in the script database. handle_get only prints the script when the DB lookup returns Some; the None branch produces this message with the requested name interpolated.

Solutions

1. Run `atuin script list` and copy the exact name
2. Run `atuin sync` and `atuin store rebuild` to pull scripts from the server
3. Recreate the script if it was intentionally deleted

let exists = script_db.get_by_name(&name).await?.is_some();
if !exists { eprintln!("unknown script: {name}"); return Ok(()); }

When it happens

Trigger: `atuin script get <name>` where `script_db.get_by_name(name)` returns None.

Common situations: Misspelled name, script not yet synced to this machine, case mismatch, or the script was removed after sync from another host.

Understand the failure class

Background: "Not found" and "does not exist" errors: why "Task not found", "No such folder", and "Can't find" fire when a lookup comes back empty — this error's family across 14 libraries.
