        Sorry you're having trouble! Please fill out the details below so we can help.

        **Quick checks first:**
        - Run `hermes debug share` and paste the links in the Debug Report section below
        - If you're in a chat session, you can use `/debug` instead — it does the same thing
        - Try `hermes update` to get the latest version

        Run `hermes debug share` from your terminal and paste the links it prints here.
        This uploads your system info, config, and recent logs to a paste service automatically.

        If you're in an interactive chat session, you can also use the `/debug` slash command — it does the same thing.

        If the upload fails or install didn't get that far, run `hermes debug share --local` and paste the output directly.
        If even that doesn't work, run `hermes doctor` and paste that output instead.
