What it does
Diagnose frozen, stuck, or slow Qwen Code sessions on this machine. Scans for problematic processes, high CPU/memory usage, hung subprocesses, and debug logs. Use /stuck or /stuck <PID> to focus on a specific process.
/stuck, diagnose frozen/slow Qwen Code sessions
The user thinks another Qwen Code session on this machine is frozen, stuck, or very slow. Investigate and present a diagnostic report.
What to look for
Scan for other Qwen Code processes (excluding the current one, exclude the PID you see running this prompt). Since Qwen Code is a Node.js CLI (#!/usr/bin/env node), the process name (comm column) is always node (or bun if run with Bun). Identify Qwen Code sessions by looking at the command column for a script path inside a directory whose name starts with qwen-code (matches qwen-code/, qwen-code-dev/, worktree clones, etc.), anchored to the start of the path or after / so unrelated names like analyze-qwen-code/ don't false-match, or a bin invocation ending in /qwen (the global symlink). Avoid loose qwen-code substring matching: it false-positives on plugin brokers that merely pass a qwen-code path as --cwd.
Signs of a stuck session:
- High CPU (>=90%) sustained, likely an infinite loop. Sample twice, 1-2s apart, to confirm it's not a transient spike.
- Process state
D/U(uninterruptible sleep), often an I/O hang. Linux usesD, macOS/BSD usesU. Thestatecolumn inpsoutput; first character matters (ignore modifiers like+,s,<). - Process state
T(stopped), user probably hit Ctrl+Z by accident. - Process state
Z(zombie), parent isn't reaping. - Very high RSS (>=4GB), possible memory leak making the session sluggish.
- State
Swith low CPU, the most common hang signature: a hung HTTPS request to the model API. Not a process-level red flag on its own, but combined with the user reporting "stuck", treat it as a strong signal to run the network check in step 3. - Stuck child process, a hung
git,node, or shell subprocess can freeze the parent. Checkpgrep -P <pid>(thenps -pfor state, see step 3) for each session.
