When To Use

```
loom team start <TEAM>
```
succeeds, but manager pane shows dead (status 1) and capture output is empty.

Diagnose

Confirm run exists:
- ```
loom team status <TEAM> --show-dead
```

Capture manager:

loom team capture <TEAM> manager --lines 200 --header

Open the capture metadata file under

.team/runs/<TEAM>/captures/*.json

and check:

```
pane.start_command
```
```
pane.current_command
```
```
pane.dead
```

Common Root Cause: Missing

team

Binary

If
```
pane.start_command
```
begins with
```
team tui ...
```
:
- Verify:
```
command -v team
```
  (likely missing)
- Verify Loom exists:
```
command -v loom
```
- This means the pane died because tmux tried to run
```
team
```
  directly.

Fix Options

Option A (fast local): add a
```
team
```
shim on PATH that forwards to Loom.
- ```
team
```
  should behave like:
```
loom team "$@"
```
Option B (proper): adjust Loom/runner config so tmux spawns
```
loom team tui ...
```
(not
```
team tui ...
```
).
Option C: pass an explicit harness
```
--bin
```
that points to the correct executable if supported.

Validate

Restart run (or use

--force

```
loom team start <TEAM> --force ...
```

Confirm manager pane is alive:

```
loom team status <TEAM>
```

loom team capture <TEAM> manager --lines 40
