docs: troubleshooting entries for the Unity 6.5 editor hang and Codex resource reads - #1360

Conversation
…odex resource reads Two failure modes that users reasonably misattribute to MCP for Unity. Unity's pre-release com.unity.ai.assistant package can livelock the AssetDatabase on Unity 6000.5.x, so the editor never opens and the bridge never arms — which reads as "MCP never connects". The non-obvious step in the fix is deleting packages-lock.json, since editing the manifest alone silently re-resolves the package. Codex exposes callable tools as mcp__unityMCP.* but wants the bare server key from resource discovery for resources/read, so agents following our instructions guess the tool namespace and get "unknown MCP server". Closes CoplayDev#1219 Closes CoplayDev#1220

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR only adds troubleshooting guidance and FAQ text, so it has no runtime impact; however, the Unity 6.5 entry may misattribute the editor hang to an issue whose documented scope is package removal, which could mislead users about diagnosis or remediation.

- Line 162: Update the troubleshooting statement near the Unity package
dependency warning to qualify UUM-132096 as covering the AI package chain and
its removal behavior, while identifying the AssetDatabase::InitialRefresh
livelock as documented by issue `#1219` rather than directly attributing it to
UUM-132096.

…e livelock The Unity issue covers the AI packages' interlocking, self-re-adding dependency chain, which is the context the reporter cited it in. Calling it the tracking ticket for the AssetDatabase livelock itself overstated what it says. Addresses CodeRabbit review on CoplayDev#1360.

Superseded by #1353, which already carried both troubleshooting entries — closing this. I missed that when I checked for existing work, since #1353's title covers the read_console, screenshot, execute_code and manage_scene fixes and does not mention the docs. Your symptom-first headings ( |

Description
Adds two troubleshooting entries for failure modes that get misattributed to MCP for Unity.
Editor hangs on load (Unity 6.5) — closes #1219. Unity's pre-release
com.unity.ai.assistantpackage can livelock the AssetDatabase during initial import, so the Editor never opens and the bridge never arms. Users reasonably read "bridge never connects" as an MCP for Unity fault. The reporter did the diagnostic work already (native stack inAssetDatabase::InitialRefresh, Unity issue UUM-132096) and verified the fix end to end; this just writes it down. The non-obvious step is deletingpackages-lock.json— editing the manifest alone silently re-resolves the package, which is what made it look intermittent.Codex resource reads — closes #1220. Codex exposes callable tools as
mcp__unityMCP.*but generic resource reads want the bare server key from discovery (unityMCP), so agents following our instructions guessserver: "mcp__unityMCP"and getunknown MCP server. Added as a## FAQ — Codexentry alongside the existing per-client FAQ sections.Type of Change
Changes Made
website/docs/guides/troubleshooting.md: new "Editor hangs on load and the bridge never connects (Unity 6.5 + AI packages)" section, placed next to the existing Unity AI Assistant DLL section since it is the same offending package, and cross-linked to it.website/docs/guides/troubleshooting.md: new "FAQ — Codex" section following the existing FAQ layout.Both sections follow the file's existing Symptoms / Cause / Fix structure and credit the reporters the same way the
@rkroskasection does.Compatibility / Package Source

Documentation Updates
No tool or resource surface changed, so the auto-generated reference under
website/docs/reference/is untouched — this is hand-written narrative documentation only.Related Issues
Closes #1219
Closes #1220
Additional Notes
Documentation-only; no code paths are affected, so there is nothing for the test suites to exercise. Happy to reword or relocate either section — #1220 in particular could equally live in the reference docs rather than the FAQ if you'd prefer it there.
