memory-daemon install-service (launchd / systemd) (v3.2 / 61-02) #42

Description

@RichardHightower

Tracking F5 / daemonization from docs/plans/v3.2-prove-it-plan.md.

README: Background daemonization is Not implemented. --background exits non-zero with guidance. Users need a launchd/systemd unit or a terminal they never close.

Maintainer decision (v3.2 plan §8): unit files, not double-fork. Double-fork does not survive reboot, and every user who wants a daemon wants it to survive reboot. True double-fork stays deferred.

Work (61-02)

  • memory-daemon install-service writes a launchd plist (macOS) or systemd user unit (Linux) and loads it, plus uninstall-service.
  • Keep --background exiting non-zero, now pointing at install-service.
  • Verify in the bats suites on both Tier 1 platforms.

Neither main nor the March orphan line has install-service today.
