CLI 0.8.0 — Daemon autostart on login and boot

nca daemon start now installs an OS init unit so the daemon auto-starts at login and is automatically restarted by the operating system if it crashes. The web app’s Settings → Local daemons also shows each connected machine’s CLI version and how its daemon was launched.

Highlights

• nca daemon start installs a per-user init unit by default — macOS launchd LaunchAgent (~/Library/LaunchAgents) or Linux systemd user unit (~/.config/systemd/user). The daemon now auto-starts on login and is restarted on crash by the OS.
• nca daemon start --system installs a boot-time unit (requires sudo): /Library/LaunchDaemons on macOS or /etc/systemd/system on Linux. Use this on always-on machines that should run the daemon before any user logs in.
• nca daemon start --foreground runs the daemon inline without touching any init unit, useful for debugging and CI. nca daemon stop cleanly removes the init unit it installed, and nca daemon status / nca daemon doctor now report both user- and system-scope unit state.
• Each row in Settings → Local daemons → Connected machines now shows the daemon’s CLI version and how it was started, e.g. cli 0.8.0 · autostart · login (launchd) or cli 0.8.0 · manual.

Notes

• Existing daemons keep running unchanged; the new init unit is only installed the next time you run nca daemon start. Run nca daemon stop && nca daemon start to opt in.
• Use nca update --force --yes to reinstall the latest standalone binary, then nca daemon doctor to confirm the init unit was installed correctly.
