TL;DR

The Ink rendering error causing teammate crashes at startup can be addressed by fixing the layout issue where a <Box> is nested inside a <Text> component.

Guidance

1. Identify the problematic component: Review the code in cli.js around line 502 to find where the <Box> is being nested inside a <Text> component, which is causing the Ink rendering error.
2. Fix the component tree: Modify the component tree to ensure that <Box> is not nested inside <Text>, as this is not a valid layout according to the error message.
3. Implement error handling for teammate crashes: To improve debugging, consider implementing a system message (TEAMMATE_CRASHED) that is emitted to the lead's inbox when a teammate exits unexpectedly, including the exit code and last stderr output.
4. Consider shipping source maps or less-minified builds: To make debugging easier, especially for issues like this where line numbers in minified code are provided, consider shipping source maps or less-minified builds of the code.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without knowing the exact structure of the components involved. However, the fix would involve rearranging the JSX or component structure to avoid the nesting issue. For example, if the problematic code looks something like <Text><Box>...</Box></Text>, it might need to be rearranged to <Box><Text>...</Text></Box> or another structure that does not nest <Box> inside <Text>.

Notes

• The provided information does not allow for a precise code fix without access to the specific lines of code mentioned in the error stack.
• The issue seems to be related to the rendering of the permission prompt UI, which triggers the Ink crash when a teammate is spawned and attempts to execute a command requiring permission.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by pre-allowlisting all necessary Bash commands for teammates to avoid the permission prompt that
