error marshalling accounts: %v

Error message

error marshalling accounts: %v

What it means

Fires in storeAccount when json.Marshal fails to serialize the in-memory accounts slice to JSON before it is persisted to fs.HomeAccountsPath. Marshal of []Account should not fail under normal data, so this signals corrupted account structs (e.g. unsupported types via custom MarshalJSON).

Solutions

1. Inspect the wrapped marshal error to find the offending account field type
2. Fix any custom MarshalJSON implementations on the Account type
3. Verify no unmarshalable values (channels, funcs, cycles) enter the accounts slice
