E-CLOUD-001

what doctor prints (warning)VENDO_API_KEY is set but not usable: malformed
VENDO_API_KEY is present in the environment, but it does not look like a real Vendo Cloud key. check cloud/key · error_code E-CLOUD-001 · doctor exits 0 (warning only)

​
What you’re seeing

Doctor checks the shape of VENDO_API_KEY locally: it expects the vnd_ prefix followed by 40 hex characters. This is a shape check only, doctor never validates a key against a server.

​
Why

A key that is well-formed but revoked, expired, or from a different project passes this check and only surfaces on the first real Cloud service call (the model gateway, the hosted store, the Cloud sandbox, the Cloud broker). This check exists to catch the earlier, simpler failure: a copy-paste error, a truncated value, a placeholder that never got replaced.

​
The fix

Re-copy the key from the Vendo Cloud console’s keys page, in case the value was truncated or mistyped. Or mint a fresh one:
Your human approves a device code in the browser (non-interactive runs print the URL and code to approve instead), and the minted key lands in .env.local. Re-run doctor, then restart your dev server so the app picks up the key.
