/**
 * DSR kernel daemon entry point.
 *
 * Spawned as a detached child process by `design-lint kernel start`.
 * Starts the KernelProcess and keeps the event loop alive until a SIGTERM
 * or SIGINT signal is received.
 *
 * CLI args:
 *   --socket-path <path>   Unix socket path (default: /tmp/designlint-kernel.sock)
 *   --http-port   <n>      HTTP fallback port (default: 7341)
 *   --pid-file    <path>   PID file path (default: /tmp/designlint-kernel.pid)
 *   --no-http              Disable HTTP fallback transport
 *   --config-path <path>   Path to designlint.config.* — when provided, tokens are
 *                          loaded from config and injected into the kernel on startup
 *   --ready-file  <path>   Written after bootstrap completes; kernelStart() polls
 *                          for this file so it returns only when tokens are loaded
