    How a project is running, and which of those ways this version can watch.

What belongs here.

What belongs here instead of Docs?

This page routes you. Docs is the manual.

Where is the cause written out?

Observe shows the full reading. Why contains only connector-reported evidence, such as an exit code, OOM flag or health-check output. A failed check does not by itself establish the underlying root cause.

How do I start using the app?

Download CTK without signing in. Open the app to sign in with your existing account or create a new one through your browser.

Does Core Trail Kit upload source code or logs to the cloud?

CTK does not upload source code, raw logs or workspace observations to its account service. Optional MCP access can share approved observations and relation evidence with your chosen AI client and provider after explicit project consent. MCP does not share source code or raw logs.

Which runtimes and containers does CTK support?

CTK observes repository-scoped local processes, existing Docker Compose services, processes launched with the repository’s start script and remote-folder processes over SSH. Team adds Kubernetes namespaces, selected AWS Lambda functions, EC2 instances and ECS services, plus Azure App Service/Function Apps and VMs. Kubernetes clusters may be local or remote. Cloud connections can be used independently or associated with a repository. CTK is not a system-wide launchd manager or port scanner.
