Quick Response Playbook#

Use this when a warning or error appears and you want to continue with minimal friction.

30-second flow#

  1. Read the first line: identify WARNING or ERROR.

  2. Apply the suggested hint (if present).

  3. Retry the same operation once.

If it still fails#

  1. Keep the message text and code ID (for example MYLIB-W001).

  2. Copy a minimal reproducer (small script or notebook cell).

  3. Share those with the maintainers of the host library.

Rule of thumb#

  • WARNING: operation often continues, but result quality may be affected.

  • ERROR: operation failed; apply hint or report with reproducible context.

You do not need to understand SMonitor internals to use this workflow.

When it is usually safe to continue after a warning#

You can often continue if:

  • output is still produced,

  • warning indicates ambiguity or a non-critical fallback,

  • results look consistent with your expectation.

Stop and inspect if:

  • warning repeats many times unexpectedly,

  • warning appears near critical publication/production steps,

  • output quality is uncertain.
