Sustainable Catalyst Research Lab · Troubleshooting

Governed scientific calculators, computation, datasets, runs, provenance, methods, experiments, calibration, queues, instruments, and publication packages.

Audience: product users, administrators, reviewers, and integrators.

Last verified version: 0.36.1

Reading time: 18–30 minutes

Status: Published support documentation.

Purpose

This guide uses an evidence-first diagnostic sequence for Sustainable Catalyst Research Lab. Preserve state before changing configuration. Determine whether the failure comes from input data, permissions, version identity, browser assets, backend health, schema compatibility, external dependencies, or a product defect.

Prerequisites

  • Exact error message and time
  • Product, backend, package, and schema versions
  • Affected route, feature, record ID, and user role
  • A safe backup or export
  • The synthetic sample for a reference test

Sample data

This article uses a fictional Resilient Community Retrofit Program. The files contain one demonstration row for every documented feature, so each capability can be tested without private or production data.

# Feature Sample action Expected result Classification
1 Scientific Calculators calculate a heat-transfer coefficient with units a method-labeled result synthetic-demo
2 Python Compute Core run summary statistics through the supported backend a typed compute response synthetic-demo
3 Numerical Solvers fit a simple energy model and inspect convergence solver output and diagnostics synthetic-demo
4 Visualization plot measured versus predicted energy use a figure tied to dataset and run IDs synthetic-demo
5 Projects and Workspaces create LAB-RETROFIT-001 a persistent research workspace synthetic-demo

The downloadable files include all 20 feature rows.

Procedure

  1. Stop repeated imports, submissions, migrations, or destructive retries.
  2. Record URL, feature, action, role, versions, browser/runtime, and expected result.
  3. Run the same feature row in a new synthetic workspace.
  4. If the sample fails, inspect health, logs, browser console, network response, and validation details.
  5. If the sample succeeds, compare real input schema, units, permissions, size, source, and status with the sample.
  6. Check version and schema identity before clearing caches or reinstalling.
  7. Apply the smallest reversible change.
  8. Repeat the sample and real workflow, then document the result.

Common problems

Symptom Likely cause Safe response
Backend unavailable compute service is offline or misconfigured check health, URL, auth, and CORS while preserving state
Run not reproducible environment, seed, input, or method version is missing complete manifest and rerun cleanly
Queue stalled worker trust, lease, or lock is invalid inspect worker and queue diagnostics
Validation failed reference or diagnostic threshold is not met do not publish; review data and method

Escalation package

  • Product and version
  • Feature and component
  • Exact error text
  • Reproduction steps using synthetic data
  • Expected and actual result
  • Redacted log excerpt without secrets or personal data
  • Whether a clean sample reproduces the problem

Expected output

  • A reproducible diagnosis or bounded unresolved issue
  • Preserved user and system state
  • A documented workaround when available
  • A support-ready issue summary without private data

Verification

  • The synthetic feature succeeds after the fix.
  • The original workflow succeeds or remains safely isolated.
  • Version and health identity are consistent.
  • No duplicates, stale locks, or unintended cache artifacts remain.
  • The resolution is reflected in a support article, known issue, or release record when appropriate.

Responsible use

The Lab supports research and teaching, not unsupported scientific, engineering, clinical, or regulatory claims.

Never place credentials, API keys, private URLs, personal records, client documents, or confidential logs in a public article or issue.
