# Daemon Mode: Wiring Complete

## Mission Status: COMPLETE

Daemon mode is now wired up and functional within The Grid architecture.

---

## What Was Done

### 1. Validated Command Structure

**File:** `commands/grid/daemon.md`

- Confirmed correct YAML frontmatter (name, description, allowed-tools)
- Follows established Grid command patterns
- Comprehensive specification with all daemon operations
- Matches architecture spec in `docs/DAEMON_ARCHITECTURE.md`

**Status:** ✓ Valid and ready

### 2. Integrated into Help System

**File:** `commands/grid/help.md`

Added daemon to command list and created dedicated section:

```
COMMANDS
  /grid:daemon       Background execution mode

DAEMON MODE
  /grid:daemon "task"       Start long-running background task
  /grid:daemon status       Check active daemon status
  /grid:daemon list         List all daemons
  /grid:daemon stop         Stop active daemon
  /grid:daemon resume "msg" Resume from checkpoint
  /grid:daemon logs         View daemon logs
```

**Status:** ✓ Documented

### 3. Created Infrastructure

**Local directories created:**
- `.grid/daemon/` - State storage for daemon runs
- `.grid/daemon/README.md` - Documentation
- `.grid/daemon/checkpoint.template.json` - State template

**Trackable templates created:**
- `templates/daemon-checkpoint.json` - Checkpoint state schema
- `templates/daemon-config.json` - Daemon configuration

**Configuration file:**
- `.grid/config.json` - Full Grid config with daemon section

**Status:** ✓ Infrastructure ready

### 4. Updated Init System

**File:** `commands/grid/init.md`

- Added daemon directory to creation list
- Updated directory table with daemon entry
- Updated display output to show daemon in tree

**Status:** ✓ Integrated

## File Manifest

### Modified
- `commands/grid/help.md` - Added daemon documentation
- `commands/grid/init.md` - Added daemon directory creation

### Created (Tracked)
- `templates/daemon-checkpoint.json` - Checkpoint state template
- `templates/daemon-config.json` - Daemon configuration template
- `DAEMON_VALIDATION.md` - Detailed validation report

### Created (Local, .gitignored)
- `.grid/daemon/` - Directory structure
- `.grid/daemon/README.md` - Documentation
- `.grid/daemon/checkpoint.template.json` - Template
- `.grid/config.json` - Configuration with daemon settings

---

## Configuration Settings

Daemon defaults (in `.grid/config.json`):

```json
{
  "daemon": {
    "default_mode": "autopilot",
    "max_runtime_hours": 24,
    "checkpoint_on_wave_complete": true,
    "heartbeat_interval_seconds": 30,
    "stall_threshold_minutes": 30,
    "notifications": {
      "system": true,
      "sound": true,
      "webhook": null
    },
    "notify_on": {
      "checkpoint": true,
      "complete": true,
      "error": true,
      "stall": true
    },
    "cleanup": {
      "auto_clean_completed_days": 7,
      "keep_audit_logs": true
    }
  }
}
```

## Known Gaps

1. **Daemon Orchestrator Agent** - Not yet created
   - Need: `agents/grid-daemon-orchestrator.md`
   - Purpose: Specialized headless Master Control
   - Reference: daemon.md line 421

2. **Process Management** - Manual for now
   - Phase 2 work (external tooling)
   - Current: Use `nohup` pattern or Claude Code background agents

3. **System Notifications** - Spec defined, needs implementation
   - Depends on external notification service
   - Or Claude Code native support

---

## Ready for Use

The daemon command will load and execute when called:

```bash
/grid:daemon "task description"
```

The spec is complete and will guide implementation. All infrastructure files are in place.

---

## Git Status

All changes staged, ready for commit when user says "update":

```
M  commands/grid/help.md
M  commands/grid/init.md
A  templates/daemon-checkpoint.json
A  templates/daemon-config.json
A  DAEMON_VALIDATION.md
A  DAEMON_WIRING_COMPLETE.md
```

---

## Next Steps

1. User reviews this implementation
2. User says "update" to commit and publish
3. Future: Create daemon orchestrator agent
4. Future: Implement process management tooling
