1. Environment:

  • OS: macOS Sequoia 15.6.1(24G90)

  • Rovo Dev CLI Version: acli version 1.3.1-stable

  • Node.js Version (if applicable): v14.21.1

2. Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open a terminal.

  2. Run the command acli rovodev run.

  3. The startup process immediately begins logging warnings and errors.

4. Actual Result:
The startup process fails. The terminal is flooded with warning messages indicating that the service cannot retrieve Jira projects due to HTTP 429 errors from the Atlassian API. The CLI does not reach a usable state. The relevant part of the log is:

2025-09-23 11:28:27.110 | WARNING | rovodev.modules.jira_context:get_jira_projects:110 - Failed to get jira projects

Looks like the CLI is hitting Atlassian’s rate limits (HTTP 429). 🚦 That’s why it’s stuck retrying and not reaching a usable state. You may need to reduce the frequency of Jira API calls, increase backoff timing, or check if your Atlassian account has stricter rate limits.
