auth, doctor, and env

Use these commands first on a fresh machine or when switching between production and the private beta.

auth

lim auth login
lim auth whoami
lim auth logout
For staging validation with the private package:
lim-beta auth login
lim-beta auth whoami
auth login opens the browser, completes WorkOS sign-in, and stores a local CLI token.

doctor

lim doctor
lim-beta doctor
doctor prints:
  • effective API URL
  • effective web URL
  • active channel
  • healthz reachability
  • local Node.js version
Use it before filing issues. It is the fastest way to verify whether a problem is local config, auth, or API reachability.

env

lim env
lim-beta env
env shows both the config-file values and the effective values after environment-variable overrides.

Common staging workflow

lim-beta doctor
lim-beta env
lim-beta auth login
lim-beta auth whoami

Environment variables

VariablePurpose
LIM_API_URLOverride the API origin
LIM_WEB_URLOverride the web origin
LIM_CHANNELForce beta or production
If a command returns 401, check lim-beta auth whoami first. If it returns a user, then the next thing to verify is the active company.
