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
…
