Preset {chosen.get('name')!r} has no launchable cmd (adopted

Error message

Preset {chosen.get('name')!r} has no launchable cmd (adopted from external launch). Use POST /cookbook/serve with the actual cmd instead.

What it means

Raised when the matched preset exists but has no usable launch command: repo_id/cmd is empty, or the cmd starts with '(adopted', marking it as a session adopted from an external ssh launch. Adopted presets store no real command, so relaunching them is impossible and the API points the caller to POST /cookbook/serve.

Solutions

1. Re-launch via POST /cookbook/serve with the actual serving command, which saves a real preset.
2. If you know the real command, edit the preset's cmd field in cookbook_state.json so it no longer starts with '(adopted'.
3. Re-run the model manually and re-adopt only for tracking; use /cookbook/serve for relaunchable presets.

Example fix

// before
await post(`/cookbook/preset/${name}`)  // preset cmd == '(adopted ...)'

// after
await post('/cookbook/serve', {repo_id, cmd: 'python -m vllm.entrypoints... ', remote_host})

p = find_preset(name)
launchable = p and p.get('cmd') and not p['cmd'].startswith('(adopted') and p.get('model')
if not launchable: use POST /cookbook/serve instead

const isLaunchable = (p?: {cmd?:string; model?:string}) =>
  !!p?.model && !!p?.cmd?.trim() && !p.cmd.trim().startsWith('(adopted')

When it happens

Trigger: POST /cookbook/preset/{name} where the chosen preset was created by POST /cookbook/adopt (cmd begins with '(adopted'), or the stored preset has model/cmd fields missing/blank.

Common situations: User adopted a manually-started tmux session, then tries to 'relaunch' it later after it died; preset JSON was hand-edited and cmd removed.
