- Validate PID file points to actual git-tend process (fixes stale PID after reboot/crash blocking startup). Adds isOwnProcess platform check.
- Use service manager for restart: systemctl --user restart on Linux, launchctl kickstart on macOS. Fixes Restart=on-failure not respawning after clean SIGTERM exit.
- Run systemctl --user daemon-reload before enable --now during install.
- Differentiate 'daemon not running' vs 'no repos found' in status output.
- Ensure state directory exists before writing greet.last.
- Add test coverage for isOwnProcess and empty-repo status branch.
