Native host not connected

Native host connection issues usually come from a moved CLI binary, a browser that has not restarted, extension ID mismatch, or blocked browser permissions.

Symptom

The extension cannot import browser captures into the local CLI database.

Most likely cause

The host manifest is missing, stale, or points at the wrong CLI path.

Fix it

Reinstall and verify the host, then restart the browser.

  1. 1 rb extension install-host
  2. 2 rb extension verify-host

Verify it worked

Save a supported conversation, then run rb today or rb search to confirm the local archive can see it.

What RecallBase cannot verify

The website cannot inspect your local CLI database, browser extension storage, or conversation content.
