What you saw
Why it happened
Manifest hit an unexpected error while handling your request. Usually that’s a database hiccup, a downstream provider returning something unparseable, or a real bug. The actual stack trace is logged server-side, but masked in the response so we don’t leak internals.How to fix it
- Retry. Most M500s are transient.
- On a self-hosted install, check the backend logs for the real stack trace.
- If it sticks around, open an issue with the timestamp and your agent name. That’s enough for us to correlate it to the server log.
