Cause (Documented platform behavior): The current call is tracked in context variables set by @weave.op; without init or op context there is no call, and un-logged calls have no ID.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Other error fragments:
- Can't get feedback for call without ID, was `weave.init` called?

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Helpers that inspect the running call fail in tests, threads, or when tracing is disabled.
- Context
- Product: Weights & Biases Weave Component: weave.require_current_call / call context Operation: Accessing the current call (id, feedback, attributes) from code not running inside a @weave.op or before weave.init Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: NoCurrentCallError, ValueError Packages: weave main at pinned SHA Trigger: Calling require_current_call()/call.feedback in code executed outside an op, in a new thread without context, or before weave.init.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [W&B Weave] require_current_call(): NoCurrentCallError "Have you initialized weave and are you calling this from inside an op?"
Recommended action: Call weave.init first, access the call from inside the op (or use op.call(...) which returns (result, call)), and propagate context into threads.
Option: Use op.call() [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Need call metadata after execution
Steps:
1. result, call = my_op.call(x)
2. call.feedback.add_reaction("👍")
Expected: Call object available
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
