# E-WIRE-002

> Doctor's Express check found no <VendoProvider> in the client, so the wire has no consumer.

```text wiring/express-client theme={null}
broken: Express client is not wrapped in <VendoProvider>
```

`check: wiring/express-client` · `error_code: E-WIRE-002` · `doctor exits: 1`

## What you're seeing

The Express server can be wired correctly and this check still fails. Doctor
grades the client and server halves separately, so a green server does not
excuse a missing client.

## Why

Doctor scanned the repo's source for a `<VendoProvider` element and found
none. The client half of the wiring, the part that actually talks to your
`/api/vendo` route, was never pasted in.

## The fix

Wrap your client entry point in `<VendoProvider>`, pointed at the mount path
you gave Express.

```tsx client/main.tsx {1,5} theme={null}
import { VendoProvider } from "@vendoai/vendo/react";
import { createRoot } from "react-dom/client";
import App from "./App";

createRoot(document.getElementById("root")!).render(
  <VendoProvider baseUrl="/api/vendo">
    <App />
  </VendoProvider>,
);
```

`baseUrl` must match the path you mounted the Express handler on. Re-run
`npx vendo doctor` once the provider wraps the app.
