Welcome to Rovo Dev, Atlassian's AI coding agent.

 

Here are some quick tips:

 

• Ask Rovo Dev anything in your own words - from "explain this repository" to "add dark mode to this app".

• Use /help for more information and /exit to quit.

hey @Van Madhavan @Anon Null 

There was a bug detected in a new file locking mechanism for the config file.

We have a release going out soon to fix this! 

Apologies for this! 

Please try again in a couple of hours!

ROOVODEV is not starting only and it just started happening from today. Tried another laptop but no luck. Seems to be something wrong with the new version.
