🐛 Troubleshooting

Backend Not Starting

Problem: ModuleNotFoundError Solution:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Problem: OpenAI API key not configured Solution: Phase 1 works without it. For AI features, add to .env:

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here

Frontend Not Starting

Problem: streamlit: command not found Solution:

pip install streamlit plotly

Problem: Cannot connect to backend Solution: Ensure backend is running on port 8000

Analysis Fails

Problem: Repository not found Solution: Check URL is correct and repository is public

Problem: Cloning timeout Solution: Try smaller repository or check internet connection

AI Features Not Working

Problem: OpenAI API key not configured Solution: Add valid OpenAI API key to .env

Problem: Embedding generation fails Solution: Check OpenAI API quota and key validity
