"API key not configured"

Check Settings → AI Code Assure → API Key
Ensure no extra spaces
Verify key is valid on OpenAI platform

"Ollama connection failed"

Ensure Ollama is running: ollama serve
Check URL in settings (default: http://localhost:11434)
Verify model is pulled: ollama list

Commands not appearing

Reload VS Code window
Check extension is activated
Look for errors in Developer Console

Indexing slow or incomplete

Use "Re-index Workspace" command
Check excluded folders in .gitignore
Reduce workspace size for large projects
