Job output files not found -- Ensure the job has started (files are created at launch), you have read permissions, and output files are in the expected location. The tool checks sacct paths, then falls back to slurm-<job_id>.out in the current directory.
Status shows UNKNOWN -- The job ID may not exist, SLURM commands may not be in PATH, or there may be permission issues.
UI not displaying correctly -- Ensure your terminal supports colors and Unicode. If using tmux/screen, check terminal settings.
