Common causes of "Bolt.new not working"
If Prismix shows Bolt.new as "Operational" but you're having issues:
- WebContainer startup fails — Bolt.new runs your project entirely in the browser via WebContainers, which require SharedArrayBuffer support. This needs HTTPS and cross-origin isolation headers — older browsers or some corporate firewall configurations block the required WebAssembly execution.
- AI code generation stalls — Bolt.new uses AI models (Claude, GPT) for code generation. If the AI provider backend is degraded, code generation will hang or time out even when the app itself loads and the WebContainer boots normally.
- npm install errors in WebContainer — Package resolution inside the WebContainer differs from a standard Node.js environment. Native modules that rely on node-gyp bindings (e.g.
bcrypt,sharp) do not work at all in a browser runtime and will error regardless of platform status. - GitHub export or deploy failing — The "Deploy to Netlify/Vercel" and GitHub push flows depend on OAuth tokens. Token expiry or a provider auth issue causes silent failures; re-authorize in your Bolt.new account settings to refresh the token.
- Preview pane not updating — The preview iframe can get into a stale state where code changes are not reflected. Use the circular arrow button inside the preview pane (not the browser's own refresh) to restart the WebContainer preview without losing your session.
- Session data lost after refresh — Bolt.new stores your project state in browser storage. Clearing browser data, switching profiles, or opening a private/incognito window will delete the project. Always export to GitHub before clearing browser data.
