// --- daemon start ---

// daemonExecutable resolves the binary to spawn as the background daemon
// child. Tests override it: spawning the resolved executable there would fork
// the test binary itself, which ignores the daemon args and re-runs the suite.
var daemonExecutable = selfexec.Resolve

// requireDaemonAuth fails fast when the user never ran `multica login`. The
// daemon child performs the same check (resolveAuth) and dies immediately,
// but the background parent can't see that exit — it would poll the health
// port for the full 45s readiness window and then print a vague "check logs"
// warning. Checking before spawning turns that silent stall into an
// immediate, actionable error. Mirrors daemon.resolveAuth: the daemon only
// authenticates via the stored config token, never MULTICA_TOKEN.
