What
A new background daemon system with a lock file (daemon.lock) that manages version consistency and auto-restart.
Details
- The daemon lock file contains a PID and version, enabling version-mismatch detection
- If a running daemon's version differs from the current CLI, it signals a restart: "Signaled claude daemon to restart"
- Lock file validation ensures the process is still alive before taking action
Evidence
Daemon lock system (search for "daemon.lock" and "Signaled claude daemon to restart")
