monoguard | Prints the embedded full guide. | Read-only and safe before state directories exist. |
start | Runs the DIFF writer in the foreground. | Creates the default config if absent, initializes checkpoint/guard databases, writes the pid lock, and announces the service. |
start --takeover | Removes a recognized existing pid lock, then starts this process. | 0.2.1 does not signal the old live process. Do not use it as a safe restart; use supervised service lifecycle instead. |
stop | Stops the recognized daemon. | Process-state mutation. |
status | Reports pid/name verification, heartbeat age, checkpoints, and OS-service state. | Observational, but common startup creates missing runtime/database/backup directories before dispatch. |
service install | Registers and starts a supervised launchd, Task Scheduler, or systemd service with restart-on-crash. | Persistent OS service write. |
service uninstall | Stops and removes the supervisor registration. | Persistent OS service removal. |
service status | Shows supervisor state beside pid/name-verified daemon truth. | Observational after common path initialization. |
history [file] | Lists timestamped backup history globally or for one file. | --limit <n>, default 20; read-only. |
seed <path> | Creates baseline backups for files beneath a path. | Potentially many backup writes; inspect scope first. |
backup <file> | Records one checkpoint immediately. | Explicit DIFF/checkpoint write; unchanged content returns no new record. |
docs [topic] | Lists or serves embedded AI documentation. | Read-only; the 0.2.1 package contains the index topic. |
--version, -V | Prints installed payload identity. | Read-only; Clap also provides --help and -h for every command. |
