An agent shows as “not installed”
Open Settings → Providers. Each card checks one thing: is that CLI on your system? If it’s missing, the card shows the exact install command.
- Run the install command in a terminal (a regular one or an ADE shell pane both work).
- Fully quit Kadro ADE and relaunch. The app needs a fresh start to see a CLI that was installed while it was running.
- Back in Settings → Providers, the card should now show the CLI as installed. The refresh button re-checks without relaunching.
Remember that each agent signs in inside its own pane — an installed CLI that asks you to log in on first launch is working as intended.
Sign-in finishes in the browser, but the app stays locked
After you complete sign-in in the browser, the app picks it up automatically within a few seconds. If the app stays on the sign-in screen:
- Keep the app running and give it a moment — then check whether your browser is showing an Open Kadro permission prompt it wants you to confirm.
- If you have an older copy of Kadro ADE on disk, delete it — two installed copies can confuse the hand-back.
- Click Sign in with Browser again to restart the flow fresh.
If the screen shows a red sign-in error, the message is the actual reason — quote it when you contact support.
Signed in, but “no active subscription”
The subscription screen offers everything you need:
- Open pricing — subscribe to Pro on the pricing page.
- Account billing — fix or restart an existing subscription on your account page.
- Sync access — click this after finishing in the browser; it re-checks your plan and lets you in.
- Sign out — if you signed in with the wrong account.
The update pill never appears
Kadro ADE checks for updates on launch and about once an hour while running. If a release just went out, give it a few minutes — or quit and relaunch, which forces a check. Updates download from GitHub, so a network that blocks GitHub will quietly prevent them; in that case, grab the latest from the download page directly.
Crash diagnostics
Diagnostics are off by default — until you opt in, nothing leaves your machine. Toggle them in Settings → Privacy. Reports are anonymized, kept for 30 days in an EU data region, and turning the switch off stops new reports immediately.
Reporting a bug
Email support@kadrotools.ai with what you were doing, what you expected, what happened (exact error wording helps), and your Kadro ADE version from Settings → Account. Or skip email and post in the Discord — it’s usually faster.
