🐛 Troubleshooting
No sound plays? → Make sure Shell Integration is enabled and check that your system has an audio player available (PowerShell on Windows, afplay on macOS, mpg123 on Linux)
Sound plays on successful commands? → This shouldn't happen. File an issue!
Sound plays too often? → Increase the errorSound.cooldownMs setting
