E-WIRE-006

wiring/surface

broken: no visible agent surface is mounted — <VendoProvider> renders nothing
by itself; add <VendoOverlay /> (the launcher pill + panel) or render your own
surface (<VendoThread />, <VendoToolResult>, the BYO embeds)

check: wiring/surface · error_code: E-WIRE-006 · doctor exits: 1

What you’re seeing

The app loads and looks right. There is nothing on the page to open the agent with: no pill, no panel, no trigger. Every other check can be green and a user opening the app still sees nothing.

Why

<VendoProvider> is a context provider; it carries the wire and renders no UI of its own. Doctor scanned your source and found none of the surface markers: <VendoOverlay, <VendoThread, <VendoTrigger, <VendoPalette, <VendoSlot, the BYO embeds (<VendoToolResult, <VendoAppEmbed, <VendoApprovalEmbed), or the surface-driving hooks (useVendoOverlay(, useVendoThread(, useSlotApp().

The fix

Mount <VendoOverlay />, the launcher pill plus panel, anywhere inside the provider.

app/layout.tsx

import { VendoProvider, VendoOverlay } from "@vendoai/vendo/react";

<VendoProvider baseUrl="/api/vendo">
  {children}
  <VendoOverlay />
</VendoProvider>

Already rendering tool output through <VendoToolResult> in your own chat UI? That passes this check as-is; no overlay needed. Re-run npx vendo doctor once a surface is mounted.

E-WIRE-004: provider mount, one level up from the surface
E-WIRE-003: the route the surface talks to
E-WIRE-005: dependency declared, the layer below wiring
E-WIRE-010: legacy provider name that can hide this same check
