Error message

people unavailable: memory driver does not support the people family

What it means

The bound driver's as_people() is None — it does not implement the people family, so every people_* tool refuses up front. A driver capability mismatch (commonly the null driver after a failed module load).

Solutions

1. Use a driver implementing MemoryPeople
2. Diagnose why a people-less driver got bound
3. Skip people tools on this backend
