What broke (code audit, untested on a Mac):
- Without systemd the server is always spawned from inside a Claude Code
session, so it inherited CLAUDECODE, CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID,
CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, ... and tmux handed them to every lane pane (a codex
pane even resolved as `claude` in `agenthub`'s harness check).
- The ~/.local/bin/agenthub launcher pinned a versioned node path that
`brew upgrade`/nvm deletes, leaving the CLI dead until the next bootstrap.
- A discovery entry left over from before a reboot could name a recycled pid,
so the bootstrap's fast path believed a dashboard was live and
stopDashboard could signal an unrelated process.
- Lanes were stored under the typed cwd; macOS reports /private/tmp and the
on-disk case, so sessions never bound to a /tmp or differently-cased lane.
What changed:
- server/index.js deletes a DENYLIST of parent-session variables at startup;
user config (CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK, ANTHROPIC_*) stays.
- linkCli's launcher falls back to `node` on PATH when the pinned one is gone.
- liveServers ignores entries whose startedAt predates this boot (60 s margin).
- createLane and POST /api/lanes/ensure store/look up fs.realpathSync.native
of an existing cwd; the liveness reaper also tries the realpath. Existing
rows are untouched.
- session-liveness gains an exec seam so the darwin ps+lsof branch is tested.
- plugin-doctor names ~/.zshrc on darwin; INSTALL.md gains a macOS section
with the Mac verification checklist, mirrored in both READMEs and PLUGINS.md.
No launchd, no macOptionIsMeta, engines stays >=20.
