qodo chat fails with “Cannot convert object to primitive value” even with minimal agent.toml (v0.27.0, macOS)

[qveys]

Description

When installing @qodo/command@latest globally and running qodo chat with a minimal agent.toml, Qodo immediately crashes with:

Initializing Qodo Agent...
Reading agent protocol...
An error occurred: Cannot convert object to primitive value

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install the CLI globally:

npm install -g @qodo/command@latest

⚠️ Note: The install shows peer dependency warnings:

npm warn ERESOLVE overriding peer dependency
npm warn While resolving: marked-terminal@7.3.0
npm warn Found: marked@16.3.0
npm warn node_modules/@qodo/command/node_modules/marked
npm warn   marked@"^16.1.2" from @qodo/command@0.27.0
npm warn   node_modules/@qodo/command
npm warn     @qodo/command@"0.27.0" from the root project
npm warn
npm warn Could not resolve dependency:
npm warn peer marked@">=1 <16" from marked-terminal@7.3.0
npm warn node_modules/@qodo/command/node_modules/marked-terminal
npm warn   marked-terminal@"^7.3.0" from @qodo/command@0.27.0
npm warn   node_modules/@qodo/command
npm warn
npm warn Conflicting peer dependency: marked@15.0.12
npm warn node_modules/marked
npm warn   peer marked@">=1 <16" from marked-terminal@7.3.0
npm warn   node_modules/@qodo/command/node_modules/marked-terminal
npm warn     marked-terminal@"^7.3.0" from @qodo/command@0.27.0
npm warn     node_modules/@qodo/command

2. Create a minimal agent.toml:

version = "1.0"
name = "Minimal Chat Agent"

[model]
provider = "openai"
model = "gpt-4o-mini"

[capabilities]
chat = true

3. Run:

qodo chat --debug

Expected Behavior

Qodo should initialize the chat agent successfully and open an interactive session.

Actual Behavior

It fails immediately with:

An error occurred: Cannot convert object to primitive value

Even with QODO_LOG_LEVEL=trace, no additional useful output is shown.
This happens on macOS (Apple Silicon, Node v22.18.0) with a clean global install.

Environment

• Qodo CLI: @qodo/command@0.27.0
• Node: v22.18.0
• OS: macOS 15.7 (arm64)
• Agent config: minimal (see above)

Notes

• The error persists with an empty project and only [capabilities] chat = true.
• Could be a regression in v0.27.0 related to agent instantiation.
• Peer dependency conflict (marked@16.x vs marked-terminal@7.x) may also be worth addressing to avoid future breakage.
