+### Troubleshooting: only `android_cast` visible (Repositories 1)
+
+`gitea_attach_remote.sh` mirrors **only the main repo**. Submodule repos need a separate step.
+
+```bash
+# 1) See what BE would mirror / what exists in Gitea:
+sudo ./examples/crash_reporter/backend/scripts/gitea/gitea_diagnose_mirrors.sh .
+
+# 2) Create submodule mirrors (main already exists):
+sudo ./examples/crash_reporter/backend/scripts/gitea/gitea_migrate_project.sh . --skip-main
+# or:
+sudo ./examples/crash_reporter/backend/scripts/gitea/gitea_mirror_submodules.sh .gitmodules
+```
+
+Expect **4 repos** under `admin`: `android_cast`, `libvpx`, `opus`, `speex`. If migrate summary shows `submodules ok=0` and a WARN about empty discovery, `.gitmodules` is missing on the BE checkout — the updated migrate script falls back to `submodules.defaults.conf`.
+
+In Gitea UI, use **Explore** or **Site Administration → Repositories** if the profile counter hides mirror repos.
+
 ### Fast sync for local `android_cast` mirror only
 
 Gitea **default minimum** pull interval is **10m**. To use **1m** for the FE git mirror:
