Invalid ArchPilot project configuration JSON

How to fix

1. Fix the JSON syntax.
2. Remove merge conflict markers.
3. Validate the file with your editor or JSON parser before rerunning ArchPilot.

What it means

The main ArchPilot configuration file cannot be parsed as JSON.

Why it matters

When configuration cannot be parsed, ArchPilot cannot reliably determine project type, modules, or rule settings.

Common causes

• A trailing comma or comment was added to JSON.
• A merge conflict marker was committed.
• The file was partially written.

Example bad pattern

{ "project": "api", }

Example good pattern
