What Observal Recovery does

Observal Recovery recovers Observal session ingestion, manages CLI upgrades, downgrades and rollback, and performs explicit local Agent fallback when the server is unavailable. Use when the user asks to reconcile missed sessions, repair CLI version state, or continue locally after a confirmed connection or configuration failure.

Observal Recovery is cataloged under DevOps on DirSkills. Observal Recovery comes from a repository tagged agents, analytics, antigravity, claude-code and cli-tool.

Excerpt

Recovering Observal

Execution contract

Execute commands with a 60 second timeout unless the operation documents a longer wait.
Use machine output by default: add --output json whenever supported. Parse list results from items and pagination fields.
Run --help before acting when a path or flag is uncertain.
Use dry run before reconciliation when scope or session volume is uncertain.
Supply documented force flags so version operations never prompt.
Verify cursor, outbox, installed version, checksum, and rollback state after recovery operations.
Fail openly. Never hide an unavailable server behind automatic local writes.
Never retry reconciliation, version changes, or fallback writes without checking resulting state.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
