Spark notify ignored: missing active provider or model

Error message

Spark notify ignored: missing active provider or model

What it means

The character orchestrator store drops an incoming 'spark:notify' WebSocket event when activeProvider or activeModel is unset. processSparkNotify returns undefined immediately, so the spark-reaction agent never runs and the event is skipped - by design, because generating a reaction requires a configured chat provider and model.

Solutions

1. Open provider settings, select and validate a chat provider and model, then wait for the next spark:notify
2. Re-trigger or re-emit the spark event after configuration - dropped events are not replayed
3. Verify settings persistence (local storage) is not being wiped between sessions
4. When emitting test spark:notify events, configure a stub provider first so the agent path executes

if (!orchestrator.activeProvider || !orchestrator.activeModel) {
  deferEventUntilConfigured(event)
  return
}
await orchestrator.processSparkNotify(event)

When it happens

Trigger: Fresh install where no chat provider/model was selected in settings; the selected provider was removed or its settings cleared while the server keeps sending spark:notify events; events arriving before the user finishes onboarding.

Common situations: First run before provider onboarding; switching or wiping provider settings mid-session; test harnesses emitting spark events without configuring a provider first.
