Summary

Checkpoint 6 of the guides-section goal, stacked on #40: the Fix a Failed Install guide — a 6-step ordered triage that either repairs the install or routes to the exact reference section.

Changes

  • content/docs/guides/fix-a-failed-install.mdx — triage order: which -a coven diagnosis → PATH repair per install method → stale version/npx cache cleanup → native platform package rules → source-build fallback → final verification; troubleshooting footer
  • content/docs/guides/index.mdx — catalog row linked
  • content/docs/guides/meta.json — page registered
  • scripts/check-guides-docs.mjs — pins for triage commands and the install-debugging cross-link

Sources

Distilled from content/docs/cli/install-debugging.mdx (fast-triage table, PATH/version/platform/source sections) and reference/troubleshooting.mdx; platform targets (darwin-arm64, linux-x64, win32-x64) and wrapper/native-package split match the published npm packaging in ../coven/npm.

Validation

  • check-guides-docs, english-only, no-leading-h1, mermaid-parse, validate-links (0 errors) ✅
  • npx fumadocs-mdx + npx tsc --noEmit + npx next build ✅ — all five guide pages prerendered

Fifth catalog entry: ordered triage from which/doctor through PATH,
stale-version, native-platform-package, and source-build repairs, each
step linking into the install-debugging reference it summarizes.

Steps 1-2 assumed a POSIX shell while the guide covers win32-x64;
add Get-Command and PATH-split PowerShell blocks. Also replace
npm bin -g (removed in npm 9) with npm prefix -g.
