Solutions

1. Inspect the wrapped underlying error for the root cause
2. Verify wstore DB integrity (check the wave database file is readable and not corrupted)
3. Retry after fixing any transient storage issues

workspaces, err := client.WorkspaceListCommand(ctx)
if err != nil {
    if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "error listing workspaces") {
        errors.As(err, &inner) // inspect underlying wstore failure
    }
    return err
}

When it happens

Trigger: wcore.ListWorkspaces fails — e.g. errors reading workspace entries from wstore DB or corrupt workspace records.

Common situations: Database (wstore) read failures; corrupted or partially migrated workspace entries; internal state errors during startup.
