Excerpt

Basecamp Doctor

basecamp doctor --json

pass: working correctly.
warn: usable, but follow-up is recommended.
skip: not run because it is unauthenticated or not applicable.
fail: broken and needs attention.

Report failures and warnings with their hint fields. Also inspect the top-level breadcrumbs array and preserve its structured cmd next steps, because a breadcrumb can provide a more specific action than a check hint. Use these common remediations when relevant:
