Troubleshooting
"Conversation chain expired" Error
This occurs when the xAI server-side conversation chain ID expires (typically after ~1 hour of inactivity). The chain is automatically reset. Simply resend your message.
Model outputs reasoning/thinking steps
Some non-reasoning model variants may occasionally output internal thought processes. Orion post-processes the final response to strip common reasoning patterns. During streaming, you may see these thoughts appear and then be cleaned up when the response completes.
Chat window restarts when sending a graph
If you experience this, ensure you are on the latest version. The EnsureOrionTab system should reuse the existing chat window. If the issue persists, check that the Orion tab is not being closed by another plugin or editor state change.
Custom endpoint not working
Custom endpoints must use HTTPS. HTTP, localhost, and private IP addresses are blocked for security (SSRF prevention). If you need to use a local server (Ollama, LM Studio), use an HTTPS reverse proxy or tunnel (e.g., ngrok, cloudflared) to expose it.
