Troubleshooting
Diagnose the failure mode before retrying.
Stale lock files (CLI hangs or shows "Unity is busy" while Unity Editor is running):
uloop fix
This removes any leftover lock files (compiling.lock, domainreload.lock, serverstarting.lock) from the Unity project's Temp directory. Then retry uloop compile.
Unity Editor not running (CLI returns a connection failure and no Unity process is alive):
uloop launch
uloop launch auto-detects the project at the current working directory and opens it in the matching Unity Editor version. After Unity finishes launching, retry uloop compile.
