Push failures — Mission Board icon turned red

When the Mission Board HUD icon glows red and pulses, Jorv Builder's Auto-Commit Pipeline tried to push a commit to your git remote and got rejected. The commit itself succeeded locally — only the push to origin failed.

What to do

  1. Click the red icon. This acknowledges the signal (clearing the red state) and opens the Mission Board.
  2. Open a terminal in your project and run git push origin <branch> to see the actual error.

Common causes

"Authentication failed"

Your git credentials expired or aren't configured. Run git config --get credential.helper to see what credential helper is in use; on macOS this is usually osxkeychain. Re-authenticate by running git push once and entering your token / password.

"Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do not have locally"

Someone else pushed to the same branch. Pull first:

git pull --rebase origin <branch>
git push origin <branch>

"Could not resolve host"

You're offline or your DNS is broken. The next successful push from any future card lifecycle event will catch up; nothing is lost.

Per-project: disable auto-push

Some repos shouldn't auto-push (e.g., long-running feature branches, private forks). Add to .orbit/config.json in the project root:

{ "autoPush": false }

Auto-commit will still happen locally; you'll push manually.
