[Node 'mysql' (mysqljs) with MySQL 8+] 'ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_MODE: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server' / 'MySQL is requesting the caching_sha2_password authenticatio…

Cause (Documented platform behavior): The mysqljs driver implements only older auth methods; when the server requests an unknown plugin it ends the handshake with UNSUPPORTED_AUTH_METHOD, and older-protocol clients receive server error 1251. Fix status: documented_behavior Mislea

[libpq sslmode=verify-full/verify-ca] 'root certificate file "~/.postgresql/root.crt" does not exist' — no CA configured; use sslrootcert=system (PG16+ libpq) or a provider CA file; 'weak sslmode' er…

Cause (Documented platform behavior): libpq does not use the OS trust store by default; it needs a CA file or sslrootcert=system. With sslrootcert=system, any sslmode weaker than verify-full is rejected. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Source/docs-derived; not repr

[WSL 2] 'Error: 0x80370102 The virtual machine could not be started because a required feature is not installed.' on cloud/CI Windows VMs (no nested virtualization, Azure Trusted Launch, hypervisorla…

Cause (Documented platform behavior): WSL 2 runs a lightweight Hyper-V VM; it needs the Virtual Machine Platform optional component, CPU virtualization/SLAT, hypervisorlaunchtype enabled, and in a VM, nested virtualization. Nested virtualization is not supported on Azure VMs with

[node-postgres pg-pool] 'timeout exceeded when trying to connect' / 'Connection terminated due to connection timeout' — pool exhausted by unreleased clients, or DB unreachable within connectionTimeou…

Cause (Documented platform behavior): Clients obtained with pool.connect() must be released; missing client.release() (e.g. on an error path) exhausts the pool. The second message indicates slow/unreachable DB or TLS/network issues. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: -

[Pillow] 'The headers or library files could not be found for jpeg, a required dependency when compiling Pillow from source.' (also zlib) — source build because no wheel matched

Cause (Documented platform behavior): Build prerequisites missing (python3-dev, libjpeg dev, zlib dev, etc.). Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Source/doc-derived; not reproduced. Other error fragments: - a required dependency when compiling Pillow from source. Evide

[ChromeDriver] 'session not created: Chrome instance exited. Examine ChromeDriver verbose log to determine the cause.' / 'unable to discover open pages' / 'Timed out while waiting for Chrome process.'

Cause (Documented platform behavior): LaunchDesktopChrome returns 'Chrome instance exited…' for normal exit codes, '<Chrome> failed to start: <reason>' otherwise; the DevTools connect loop returns 'unable to discover open pages' when no kPage target appears before timeout. Fix st

[kubectl exec/logs/cp on multi-container pods] 'Defaulted container "istio-proxy" out of: ...' — command ran in the first (sidecar/wrong) container; specify -c or the kubectl.kubernetes.io/default-co…

Cause (Documented platform behavior): Documented fallback behavior (KEP-2227 default container annotation). Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Derived from source; which container is first depends on injection order (e.g. service mesh sidecars). - exact string is gene

[pnpm] 'ERR_PNPM_MODULES_BREAKING_CHANGE The node_modules structure at "<dir>" is not compatible with the current pnpm version' / 'ERR_PNPM_UNEXPECTED_VIRTUAL_STORE Unexpected virtual store location'…

Cause (Documented platform behavior): node_modules layouts are version- and config-specific; pnpm won't mix them. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Source-derived (pnpm main at pinned SHA); not reproduced. Other error fragments: - Unexpected virtual store location Ev

[pnpm with private registries (Verdaccio/Artifactory/Nexus/GitHub Packages)] 'ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME The metadata of <pkg> is missing the "time" field' — trustPolicy / release-age checks need per-vers…

Cause (Documented platform behavior): Some registries don't include per-version time; pnpm asserts its presence. minimum-release-age-ignore-missing-time defaults to true for the release-age check; a pending changeset makes trustPolicy honor the same opt-in. Fix status: unresolved

[Node.js native addons] 'was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION X. This version of Node.js requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION Y' (better-sqlite3, bcrypt, sharp...)

Cause (Documented platform behavior): Native addons are ABI-specific; Node checks NODE_MODULE_VERSION at load time. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED code is from general Node behavior, not verified in the cited file. Other error fragments: - Please

[lxml] 'Error: Please make sure the libxml2 and libxslt development packages are installed.' — no wheel for this Python/platform and libxml2/libxslt headers (pkg-config / xml2-config) missing

Cause (Documented platform behavior): Source build requires libxml2 >= 2.7.0 / libxslt >= 1.1.23 development packages. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Source/doc-derived; not reproduced. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - h

[ChromeDriver file upload] 'invalid argument: path is not absolute: <path>' / 'path is not canonical' — send_keys to <input type=file> needs an absolute path valid on the browser host

Cause (Documented platform behavior): SetFileInputFiles rejects non-absolute and parent-referencing paths; ExecuteUploadFile base64-decodes and unzips a single file into a session temp dir and returns its path. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Derived from ChromeDri

[kubectl exec -it from agents/CI] 'Unable to use a TTY - input is not a terminal or the right kind of file' — TTY silently disabled; interactive shells/REPLs hang or behave oddly

Cause (Documented platform behavior): Agent tool shells don't provide a terminal on stdin. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Derived from source; hang behavior depends on the invoked program. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):

[Axolotl] QLoRA/full-FT config errors: "Require cfg.load_in_4bit to be True for qlora" / "load_in_8bit and load_in_4bit are not supported without setting an adapter"

Cause (Documented platform behavior): QLoRA requires 4-bit base; quantized weights cannot be fully fine-tuned. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - load_in_8bit and load_in_4bit are not supported without setting an adapter for training. Evidence (public source

[NumPy] 'Error importing numpy: you should not try to import numpy from its source directory' — cwd is a numpy checkout/sdist (agents running python inside the extracted source tree)

Cause (Documented platform behavior): Python puts the cwd first on sys.path; the unbuilt source package is imported instead. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Source-derived; python -P advice is standard CPython behavior, not stated in the numpy source. Other error f

[ChromeDriver] Loading an extension fails: 'CRX verification failed to parse extension header. Chrome supports only CRX3 format.' / 'cannot base64 decode' / 'cannot extract magic number'

Cause (Documented platform behavior): ProcessExtension base64-decodes the string, reads the 4-byte magic ('Cr24' = CRX), verifies CRX3 via crx_file::Verify, and returns these errors; non-CRX input is treated as a zip. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Derived from Ch

Cause (Documented platform behavior): API server limits total annotation size (TotalAnnotationSizeLimitB = 256 * 1024 bytes). Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Rendered message typically 'metadata.annotations: Too long: may not be more than 262144 bytes'; verified as
