What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

  const child = spawn(process.execPath, [DAEMON_SCRIPT_PATH, ...mcpArgs], {

    return path.join(process.env.XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, appName, 'server.sock');
