Console Commands

All commands are namespaced snitch. Open the in-game developer console and type them. Everything is idle until snitch start.

Command	What it does
snitch start	Arm sampling and start streaming live data.
snitch stop	Disarm sampling (the game keeps running).
snitch status	One-line summary: active, fps, section/state/counter counts.
snitch frame	Log the full frame-time distribution (mean/median/p95/p99/min/max, fps, GC).
snitch top [n]	Log the top N sections by ms/frame (default 8).
snitch sections	Log all sections.
snitch states [id]	Log the entity-state distributions (optionally filtered).
snitch counters	Log the registered numeric counters.
snitch panels	List the registered per-mod panels and how many controls each holds.
snitch act <actionId>	Run a panel action by id (e.g. Siesta:force-cosmetic).
snitch toggle <toggleId> [on|off]	Flip a panel toggle (omit to toggle).
snitch slider <sliderId> [value]	Write a panel slider, or omit the value to read it back with its range and step. See Sliders.
snitch dashboard	Open the Web Dashboard in your browser.
snitch log [<channel>|all] [n]	Print the last N log lines of a mod channel, or the combined timeline.
snitch vanilla on|off	Attribute CPU cost to vanilla hot paths (e.g. NPCMovement.Update/FixedUpdate).
snitch ablate <lever>	Measure a subsystem’s causal frame cost via an A/B toggle (built-in npc).
snitch levers	List the available ablation levers.
snitch report [md|csv|all]	Export a report to Mods/Snitch/runs/.

Notes

• snitch slider writes the same value a drag does, and the host clamps and snaps it the same way. It exists because a mouse control cannot be driven by a script, so this is how a tuning session stays reproducible.
• snitch dashboard opens the bundled dashboard on the local port when one is installed beside the DLL, and the hosted site otherwise. With the local data server switched off it opens nothing and says why - see Web Dashboard.
• snitch vanilla on installs Harmony probes that aggregate one label across all instances (e.g. total NPCMovement.Update ms/frame). These are self-measured (only the methods Snitch wraps) - see How It Works.
• snitch ablate npc toggles all NPC movement off and measures the settled frame-time delta. It runs host-only and is cleanest with other NPC mods (like Siesta) disabled.
• Reports (snitch report) are written to Mods/Snitch/runs/ in your game folder as Markdown + CSV.
