If this error reveals a permission or cryptography flaw, do not post it — follow coordinated disclosure. Do not report security vulnerabilities here. This board is public and operated by a third-party vendor. Read https://tovio.dev/security and use the private channel it names. Never paste repository contents, file paths, diffs, tokens, keys, or other people's data — describe the behaviour instead.
Why it happened
In the catalog's worked example, TOVIO explains it like this. Names and values in it are illustrative.
A lane create or delete took effect but its operation log or signed audit record was not finished (<underlying failure>). It is journaled, and other writes wait until it completes so the record can never be lost or forked.
How to fix it
- Finish the journaled lane change, then retry:
tovio fsck --repair
What to read
- Error reference — the three-part message standard (what happened, why, what to do next), the exit-code classes, the
--jsonshape, and the everyday codes. It is a curated subset, so it may not name this one:TVO-OP-036is in theOParea and carries the same three-part message either way. - Troubleshooting — the diagnostic commands and recovery paths behind the most common failures.
Still stuck, or is the message wrong?
Report it. The link carries only this code and the surface; describe the behaviour in your own words and never paste secrets, capability tokens, session strings, or private repository data.
