Installs egregore watchdog daemon via launchd or systemd for autonomous relaunching. Use when setting up egregore on a new machine. Do not use on CI/CD runners.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Install Watchdog

## Overview

Installs a persistent daemon that monitors the egregore
process and relaunches it when needed.
The daemon uses the OS-native scheduler (launchd on macOS,
systemd on Linux) to run a watchdog script every 5 minutes.

The watchdog script checks:

- Whether an egregore session is already running.
- Whether the budget is in cooldown.
- Whether there are active work items in the manifest.

If all conditions are met, it launches a new egregore
session.

## When To Use

- After initializing an egregore project (`egregore init`)
  when you want autonomous relaunching.
- When setting up egregore on a new machine.

## When NOT To Use

- On CI/CD runners (use the orchestrator directly).
- When you want manual control over session launches.

## Installation Steps

### 1. Detect the operating system

```bash
OS=$(uname -s)
```

### 2. Run the appropriate installer

**macOS (launchd):**

```bash
bash plugins/egregore/scripts/install_launchd.sh
```

This script creates a plist at
`~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.egregore.watchdog.plist`
that runs the watchdog script every 300 seconds (5 minutes).

**Linux (systemd):**

```bash
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add athola/claude-night-market/install-watchdog@sha256:62addb644867fb3c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260622.78871f4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
