# Missing traces or saved results

## No saved run

Use `m3 test`, or configure `SQLiteExecutionStore` explicitly in direct SDK
code. Plain pytest without the storage plugin keeps SDK executions in memory.

## `m3 ui` shows no history

Run it from the project containing `.m3/executions.sqlite`. `m3 ui` does not
accept the custom path used by `m3 test --results-db`.

## Trace is not finalized

Close the direct client or agent session before requesting its final trace.
Use the immediate operation result while the context is open.
