A Watch Skill command failed, video download broke, ffmpeg or yt-dlp is missing, a provider returned an error, local vision stopped, or the user asks "why can't it watch this" or "repair my setup". Use this to diagnose and apply the engine's structured fix before retrying the original operation.

# Recovering from errors

Failures use stable error codes and include an actionable `fix`. Preserve that evidence;
do not replace it with a generic explanation.

## Diagnose first

```bash
watch-skill doctor --json
```

Read the failing checks and apply only their stated fixes. `doctor` can repair managed
ffmpeg and yt-dlp binaries, stale locks, corrupt caches, missing frame directories, and
known local-model health failures. Re-run it once after remediation.
