LLM Wiki space status must be active or archived.

Error message

LLM Wiki space status must be active or archived.

What it means

Thrown by updateSpace when input.status is provided and is neither 'active' nor 'archived'. Spaces only support those two lifecycle statuses.

Solutions

1. Only pass 'active' or 'archived' as status (or omit it to leave unchanged).
2. Constrain the status field at the API boundary to the two allowed values.
3. To soft-remove a space, use 'archived' (and note the default space cannot be archived).

Example fix

// before
await updateSpace(ctx, { companyId, spaceSlug, status: "paused" });

// after
await updateSpace(ctx, { companyId, spaceSlug, status: "archived" });

const ALLOWED_STATUS = new Set(["active", "archived"]);
function sanitizeSpaceStatus(status) {
  if (status != null && !ALLOWED_STATUS.has(status)) {
    throw new Error(`LLM Wiki space status must be active or archived (got ${status})`);
  }
  return status;
}

function isSpaceStatus(value) {
  return value == null || value === "active" || value === "archived";
}

try {
  await updateSpace(ctx, { companyId, spaceSlug, status });
} catch (err) {
  if (/status must be active or archived/.test(err.message)) {
    return updateSpace(ctx, { companyId, spaceSlug, status: "archived" });
  }
  throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling updateSpace with status set to 'deleted', 'paused', 'draft', or any other string.

Common situations: Sending a generic lifecycle status from a shared enum; UI dropdown exposing statuses that are not implemented; copy-pasted payload with a wrong status value.
