daemon: build velox-nmhost, systemd socket activation + units, velox(1) man page

Closes build order items 7 (the systemd half) and 9 (D11 in deferrals.md). velox-nmhost (nmhost/src/main.cpp, 185 lines): a poll()-driven byte pump between Firefox's native-messaging framing on stdio (4-byte native-byte-order length prefix) and veloxd's own NDJSON framing on the Unix socket. Reframes each direction, no JSON parsing, no retry/backoff (the extension relaunches a fresh host on its own reconnect), exits the moment either side closes. Deliberately dependency-free — no veloxd_* library, no nlohmann_json — since it runs unconfined outside Firefox's sandbox regardless of packaging format. Two real bugs found and fixed while getting the integration test to actually pass rather than hang, both exactly the class of bug a "trivial pump" invites: 1. Never set the pumped fds non-blocking, so the "drain what's available" read loop blocked on its own second read() instead of returning to poll(). 2. stdin and stdout are two different descriptors (0 and 1), not one — an early draft polled POLLOUT on fd 0, which is opened read-only, so EOF and writability were never both observable through the same pollfd entry. packaging/nativehost/com.velox.host.json + its own README.md supersede AGENT-DAEMON.md's stale "four locations" line: spike S1 / ADR 0003 found only three manifest locations are real (~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/ for BOTH deb/tarball and snap Firefox, /usr/lib/mozilla/... for deb/tarball only, the flatpak sandbox path) — the fourth, ~/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/..., is not read by snap Firefox at all. The README spells out the per-user-manifest / postinst enumeration implication for PKG/QA (postinst runs once as root; the two ~/-relative locations are per-user) and flags that docs/07-packaging.md's own install-layout line only shows the one root-owned path. Socket activation: rpc/systemd_activation.cpp is a from-scratch sd_listen_fds() (env vars only — LISTEN_PID/LISTEN_FDS, fd 3 — no libsystemd link) that UdsServer::start() checks first, skipping its own create/bind/chmod/listen when systemd already bound the socket. packaging/systemd/velox.socket + velox.service are the unit pair, verified both by systemd-analyze verify and by an actual fork/dup2/execve simulation of the activation handshake — a real session.hello round-tripped over the handed-off fd with no bind() ever called inside the daemon for that run. velox.service deliberately skips ProtectSystem=/ProtectHome=/ReadWritePaths=: saveTo.allowedRoots is user-configurable to anywhere on the filesystem, and a sandbox here would turn a legitimately-configured save location into an opaque EROFS/EACCES instead of the daemon's own clear -32011. cli/man/velox.1 documents the CLI as it actually exists today (add/ls/pause/resume/rm, --json) — the queue/settings subcommands AGENT-DAEMON.md's build order originally sketched aren't implemented in cli/src/main.cpp yet, so the page doesn't claim they are. Checked warning-free with groff -mandoc -ww -z. Full ctest: 57/57 (excluding the pre-existing, unrelated conformance failure noted in earlier commits).

 .TH VELOX 1 "2026-09-12" "Velox" "User Commands"
 .SH NAME
 velox \- command-line client for veloxd, the Velox download manager daemon
 .SH SYNOPSIS
 .B velox
 .I command
 .RI [ options ]
 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .B velox
 talks to
 \fBveloxd\fR
 over its Unix-domain socket and gives a scriptable, terminal-first view of the same
 downloads the GUI and the Firefox extension see. It does no downloading itself \(em every
 command is a thin JSON-RPC call; the daemon owns all state.
 .PP
 .B veloxd
 must already be running (see
 .B ENVIRONMENT
 below for how
 .B velox
 finds it, and
 .BR systemctl (1)
 .RI ( "systemctl --user status velox" )
 for whether it's up). If nothing is listening on the socket,
 .B velox
 exits with status 3 rather than hanging.
 .SH COMMANDS
 .TP
 .BI "add " url " [\-\-dir " dir "] [\-\-out " name "] [\-\-segments " n ]
 Add a new download. Prints the new task's id and initial state.
 .RS
 .TP
 .BI "\-\-dir " dir
 Destination directory. Must resolve inside one of the daemon's configured
 .B saveTo.allowedRoots
 or the call fails; omit to use the configured default download directory.
 .TP
 .BI "\-\-out " name
 Filename to save as. Omit to derive one from the URL (or, once the daemon has probed it,
 from the server's own
 .BR Content-Disposition ).
 .TP
 .BI "\-\-segments " n
 Requested connection count for this download, 1\(en32. The daemon may use fewer \(em a
 per-host cap or a source that turns out not to support resuming both lower it. The
 .B ls
 table (and
 .RI "\-\-json's " segments
 field) show what was actually granted, not what was asked for.
 .RE
 .TP
 .B ls
 List every download the daemon knows about: id, state, progress, and filename. With
 .BR \-\-json ", the raw " download.list " result instead of the table."
 .TP
 .BI "pause " id " [" id " ...]"
 Pause one or more downloads by id. A download already paused, or already finished, is
 left alone \(em not an error.
 .TP
 .BI "resume " id " [" id " ...]"
 Resume one or more paused downloads.
 .TP
 .BI "rm " id " [" id " ...] " "[\-\-delete\-file]"
 Remove one or more downloads from the list. Without
 .BR \-\-delete\-file ,
 any partial data on disk
 .RI ( .veloxpart / .veloxpart.meta )
 is discarded but a
 .B completed
 file is left in place. With
 .BR \-\-delete\-file ,
 the finished file is deleted too \(em there is deliberately no default for this flag; you
 must say which you mean every time.
 .SH OPTIONS
 .TP
 .B \-\-json
 Print the raw JSON-RPC result instead of a formatted table. Works with every command;
 combine with
 .BR jq (1)
 for scripting. On error, the JSON form is an
 .B {"error": {...}}
 object on stdout rather than a message on stderr.
 .TP
 .B \-h ", " \-\-help
 Print usage and exit 0.
 .SH EXIT STATUS
 .TP
 .B 0
 Success.
 .TP
 .B 1
 The daemon reached the call but returned a JSON-RPC error (bad task id, path outside the
 allowed roots, and so on). The message is on stderr, or in the JSON error object with
 .BR \-\-json .
 .TP
 .B 2
 Usage error \(em missing argument, unknown option, or unknown command.
 .TP
 .B 3
 Could not reach
 .B veloxd
 at all: not running, or its socket is missing or unreachable.
 .SH ENVIRONMENT
 .TP
 .B XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
 .B velox
 connects to
 .IR "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/velox/velox.sock" .
 If unset, it falls back to
 .IR /run/user/ <uid> ,
 matching
 \fBveloxd\fR's
 own resolution \(em the two must agree for the client to find the daemon, so this is
 normally left to the desktop session's default rather than set by hand.
 .SH FILES
 .TP
 .I $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/velox/velox.sock
 The daemon's Unix-domain socket, mode 0600, same-UID only (\fBSO_PEERCRED\fR checked on
 every connection \(em this is the transport's authorization, not an extra login).

 correct response is *no response*: past 750 ms the extension must abandon the offer and let
 Firefox download normally. A download manager that eats downloads when its daemon is down
 is worse than no download manager.
 ## No fixture may pair a real external URL with `startMode: "now"`
 This suite replays every fixture against a real, live `veloxd` (`tests/conformance/run.sh`),
 not just `mockd`. `mockd` never actually fetches anything, so it hid this for a while: a
 fixture with `startMode: "now"` (or `"queue"` into a running queue — anything that gets
 admitted to the scheduler right away) and a real, resolvable URL makes a **real** daemon
 actually start downloading it, for real, onto whatever machine runs the suite. This
 happened — twice, with `download.add.json` pointed at a ~6 GB Ubuntu ISO, straight into the
 developer's real `~/Downloads`.
 The fix in each case is one of:
 - `startMode: "later"` — exercises the add path (validation, category assignment, the
  event) without ever handing the task to the engine;
 - a URL under `example.org`/`example.com` (IANA-reserved for exactly this, RFC 2606) —
  resolvable enough to validate as a URL, never a real download source;
 - `requires`, if the fixture's entire point needs a real transfer to fail in a specific way
  (see `errors/download.add.disk-full.json`) — skipped by default, so it only ever runs
  where the condition has actually been arranged.
 A real `saveDir` gets the same treatment for the same reason: an absolute path like
 `/home/sami/Downloads/...` only means anything on the machine that fixture was written on.
 Omit `saveDir` and let `saveTo.defaultDir` apply, or use a relative-feeling path under a
 root the runner controls.

Deliberately dependency-free (no `veloxd_*` library, no `nlohmann_json`) since it runs unconfined outside Firefox's sandbox whatever the packaging format. Two real bugs found and fixed while getting the integration test to actually pass rather than hang: (1) never set the pumped fds non-blocking, so the "drain what's available" read loop blocked on its own second `read()` instead of returning to `poll()`; (2) stdin and stdout are two different descriptors (0 and 1), not one — an early draft polled `POLLOUT` on fd 0, which is opened read-only, so EOF/writability were never both observable through the same `pollfd` entry. Both are exactly the class of bug a "trivial pump" invites and unit tests over the real binary (not just its helper functions) exist specifically to catch. `packaging/nativehost/com.velox.host.json` + its own `README.md` supersede `AGENT-DAEMON.md`'s stale "four locations" (spike S1 / ADR 0003 found only three are real — the fourth, `~/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/...`, is not read by snap Firefox at all) and spell out the per-user-manifest / postinst implication for PKG/QA. `EnginePort`-style: `rpc/systemd_activation.cpp` is a from-scratch `sd_listen_fds()` (env vars only, no `libsystemd` link — `LISTEN_PID`/`LISTEN_FDS`, fd 3) that `UdsServer::start()` checks first, skipping its own create/bind/chmod/listen when systemd already bound the socket; `packaging/systemd/velox.socket` + `velox.service` are the unit pair, verified both by `systemd-analyze verify` and by an actual fork/dup2/execve simulation of the activation handshake (a real `session.hello` round-tripped over the handed-off fd with no `bind()` ever called inside the daemon for that run). `velox.service` deliberately skips `ProtectSystem=`/`ProtectHome=`/`ReadWritePaths=` — `saveTo.allowedRoots` is user-configurable to anywhere on the filesystem, and a sandbox here would turn a legitimately-configured save location into an opaque `EROFS`/`EACCES` instead of the daemon's own clear `-32011`. `cli/man/velox.1` documents the CLI as it actually exists today (`add`/`ls`/`pause`/`resume`/`rm`, `--json`, the three-tier `queue`/`settings` subcommands `AGENT-DAEMON.md` build step 8 originally sketched are not implemented in `cli/src/main.cpp` yet, so the page doesn't claim they are) — checked warning-free with `groff -mandoc -ww -z`. | `nmhost/{CMakeLists.txt,src/main.cpp,tests/}`, `daemon/src/rpc/{systemd_activation.{hpp,cpp},uds_server.cpp}`, `packaging/{nativehost,systemd}/`, `cli/man/velox.1` | — | done |

 # ADR 0018 — Nullable optional fields: absent vs. explicit null
 **Status:** accepted · **Date:** 2026-09-13 · **Lane:** PROTO
 **Prompted by:** a DAEMON report against `download.update`: the generated C++ parser gives
 `VeloxDispatcher` no way to tell "the caller left this field alone" from "the caller wants
 it cleared," so `download.update` and (the moment a nullable `SettingKey` exists)
 `settings.set` can set a nullable field but never clear it back to `null`.
 ## Context
 `download.update`'s `patch` object documents the convention plainly: "Only the present
 fields change. An explicit null clears a nullable field." That is a deliberate, already-
 committed wire contract — not something up for redesign here. The gap is one layer down:
 `contracts/codegen/gen_cpp.py`'s `emit_field_parse` collapses "key absent" and "key present
 with value `null`" to the same `std::nullopt`, on purpose, and the comment says so:
 > Absent and null mean the same thing: the field is not set. A client that omits a
 > nullable field and one that sends null are treated identically on purpose.
 That collapse is *correct* for the common case — most nullable-optional fields are on
 create-style params (`DownloadSpec.saveDir`, `.categoryId`, …) where there is no existing
 value to distinguish "never set" from "explicitly cleared" in the first place; either way
 the daemon just uses a default. It is wrong specifically for **patch-style** params, where
 a field can already hold a value and the caller needs to say which of two different things
 they mean: "leave it" or "clear it."
 The schema IR (`schema_ir.py`) already tracks `required` and `nullable` as two independent
 booleans per `Field`, so the information needed to make this distinction exists all the way
 through parsing — `emit_field_parse` just doesn't act on it. Only `download.update`'s
 `patch` object is affected today (`filename`, `saveDir`, `categoryId`, `queueId`,
 `description`, `segments`, `bufferBytes`, `checksum` — all eight of its fields are
 nullable-and-optional with exactly this "leave vs. clear" meaning). No `SettingKey` is
 nullable yet, so `settings.set` has no live instance of the bug, but the same shape
 (`values` patches an existing bag) means the first nullable settings key will hit the exact
 same gap.
 ## Decision
 **A JSON-null-aware optional, opt in per field via a new `x-clearable: true` annotation —
 not a blanket rule and not a companion "clear list" field.**
 - New per-field schema annotation, `x-clearable: true`, valid only on a field whose type
  already includes `null` (schema error otherwise — clearable implies nullable). Marks
  "this field distinguishes absent from explicit null"; every other nullable-optional field
  keeps today's collapse.
 - The generated C++ type for a `x-clearable` field becomes `std::optional<std::optional<T>>`:
  outer `nullopt` = absent (leave unchanged), outer engaged with an inner `nullopt` =
  explicit `null` (clear it), outer engaged with an inner value = set it. One field, three
  states, no parallel bitset to keep in sync and no second field to forget to check.
 - `emit_field_parse` for such a field stops folding `is_null()` into "absent": absent skips
  the assignment (outer stays `nullopt`); present-and-null assigns an engaged-but-empty
  inner optional; present-and-valued parses normally into the inner optional. Every other
  field's codegen (the `required`/`nullable`-but-not-`clearable` majority) is unchanged.
 - TypeScript needs no generator change: `field?: T | null` already round-trips this exactly
  the way JSON does — an omitted key serializes as absent, `null` serializes as `null`, and
  `"field" in obj` / `obj.field === null` already distinguish the three states natively.
  This gap is a C++-generator-only problem.
 - Applies now to `download.update`'s eight `patch` fields. `Settings` gets no annotation
  today (nothing nullable to mark); the day a nullable `SettingKey` is added, it gets
  `x-clearable: true` in the same PR, not left to rediscover this ADR.
 ## Versioning
 Per ADR 0015: this retypes a generated C++ field (`optional<T>` -> `optional<optional<T>>`)
 with the wire byte-for-byte unchanged — a client sending the same JSON parses correctly
 either way. **Minor bump, with a migration note** for anyone reading `patch.filename` et al.
 directly (unwrap twice: check the outer, then the inner). Not major; `session.hello`'s
 major-only check must not refuse a wire-compatible peer over a binding-only change.
 ## Consequences
 - `on_download_update` (DAEMON, not this lane) can finally implement "explicit null
  clears": read the outer optional for presence, the inner for clear-vs-value, exactly the
  three states the schema already promised.
 - The collapse comment in `emit_field_parse` stays as the default behavior and gets a
  pointer to this ADR for the opt-in exception, instead of being read as an oversight.
 - Implementation (schema annotation support in `schema_ir.py`, the `gen_cpp.py` emission
  change above, regenerating `core/generated/`, the `x-clearable: true` annotations on
  `download.update`'s eight fields, the VERSION bump and migration note) is **not** done in
  this change — recorded here so DAEMON isn't blocked on relitigating the design, tracked as
  its own PROTO PR per the normal contracts process (schema + regenerated code + fixtures +
  VERSION bump together, CLAUDE.md §2).
 ## Alternatives rejected
 **An explicit clear list** (e.g. `patch.clearFields: ["categoryId", …]`, plain non-nullable
 `optional<T>` fields otherwise). Rejected: the wire contract "an explicit null clears a
 nullable field" is already written into `download.update`'s schema description and is what
 DAEMON built against — this would be a real, disruptive wire redesign to route around a
 generator gap, not a fix for it. It also doesn't compose: every patch-shaped object gains a
 second array to keep in sync with the first, by hand, forever.
 **A parallel "which fields were present" bitset** (struct of `optional<T>` fields plus a
 sibling presence-flags struct or bitset). Rejected: two things to check per field instead
 of one, and nothing stops a caller from reading the optional and forgetting the presence
 bit — exactly the class of bug this ADR exists to close.
 **Apply the tri-state to every `nullable && !required` field automatically**, using the IR
 flags already present, no annotation needed. Rejected: `emit_field_parse` only backs
 `parse<T>()`, used for *params* types the daemon receives — but the conformance C++ runner
 also instantiates `parse<T>()` for **result** types (round-tripping golden fixtures), and
 plenty of those are nullable-optional with no patch semantics at all (`TaskSummary.effectiveUrl`,
 "null until the first probe succeeds" — a plain nullable value, not a leave-or-clear
 choice). Blanket application would retype those too, forcing every read site across the
 daemon that already does `if (summary.effectiveUrl)` into an unwanted double-unwrap for a
 distinction that field doesn't have. Opt-in keeps the blast radius at exactly the fields
 that need it.

 # packaging/nativehost — the Firefox native-messaging manifest
 Owner: lane DAEMON (`packaging/nativehost/**` is explicitly DAEMON's per `CLAUDE.md`'s
 lane table, unlike the rest of `packaging/`, which is PKG/QA's). This directory holds the
 manifest `velox-nmhost` (built from `nmhost/`) is registered under, and this file is the
 one place that says exactly which on-disk locations need it and why — the
 "install manifests to all four locations" line in `docs/agents/AGENT-DAEMON.md`'s build
 order predates `docs/adr/0003-native-messaging-under-snap.md`, which cut that down to
 three *real* ones. Read the ADR before touching this list; it is the empirical spike, not
 a guess.
 ## The manifest
 `com.velox.host.json` in this directory is the template:
 ```json
 {
  "name": "com.velox.host",
  "description": "Velox download manager — native messaging bridge to veloxd",
  "path": "/usr/libexec/velox/velox-nmhost",
  "type": "stdio",
  "allowed_extensions": ["velox@velox.download"]
 }
 ```
 - `name` is what the extension calls `browser.runtime.connectNative("com.velox.host")`
  with (`extension/src/background/transport/native.ts`'s `HOST_NAME`) — do not rename one
  without the other.
 - `allowed_extensions` must match `extension/manifest.json`'s
  `browser_specific_settings.gecko.id` exactly (`[email protected]`). A mismatch here is
  a silent failure: Firefox reports "no such native application" as if the manifest didn't
  exist at all, which reads exactly like a missing-file bug and is easy to chase in the
  wrong place.
 - `path` is `/usr/libexec/velox/velox-nmhost` — the `.deb`'s install layout
  (`docs/07-packaging.md`). **Every other packaging format needs a different `path`** —
  the binary doesn't live at that absolute path inside a Flatpak sandbox or an AppImage
  mount, so whatever installs the manifest for those formats must rewrite this field to
  wherever it actually put the binary, not ship this file verbatim. That substitution is
  the packaging step's job, not this template's.
 ## Where it has to be written, and why
 Per ADR 0003 (spike S1, run against the real snap Firefox on the target machine — not a
 guess about how confinement "should" work):
 | Location | Covers | Why |
 |---|---|---|
 | `~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/com.velox.host.json` | **deb/tarball Firefox, and snap Firefox** | The one location snap Firefox 154 actually reads. Firefox's snap launches native-messaging hosts *outside* the sandbox with the user's real `$HOME` — so this is not "the deb location that happens to also work"; it is *the* snap location, full stop. `~/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/` (the intuitive "inside the snap" path) is **not** read by Firefox 154 snap — confirmed empirically, not inferred. |
 | `/usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/com.velox.host.json` | **deb/tarball Firefox only** | System-wide, so it covers every user on the box for a real (non-snap) Firefox install — but confirmed **not** read by snap Firefox. Do not treat this path as "covers snap too"; that was the wrong assumption `docs/05` §4 corrected in the same commit as the ADR. |
 | `~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/com.velox.host.json` | **Flatpak Firefox** | Flatpak's own sandboxed home. Untested on this machine (Firefox here is the snap, not flatpak) — carried over from `docs/05` §4's original four-location list, which this table otherwise supersedes. Verify before relying on it in a release checklist. |
 That is three real locations, not four — the fourth
 (`~/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/`) was the pre-ADR guess the spike
 disproved. If `docs/agents/AGENT-DAEMON.md`'s build order still says "four locations" when
 you read this, it is stale; this table is the current source of truth alongside the ADR
 itself.
 ## What this means for `postinst` (PKG/QA's file, not this one)
 This directory ships the manifest template and documents the target paths; it does not
 install anything itself (`packaging/**` outside this one directory is PKG/QA's — see
 `CLAUDE.md`'s lane table — and `postinst` specifically is a `.deb`-packaging concern this
 lane doesn't own the file for). For whoever writes it:
 - **The two `~/`-relative locations are per-user.** `postinst` runs as root, once, at
  install time — it does not run once per user session. It needs either a real-user
  enumeration at install time (every UID with a home directory and no login shell of
  `/usr/sbin/nologin`-style exclusions, roughly what `deluser --remove-home` scripts already
  have to reason about) or a first-run hook that runs as the logged-in user (a systemd user
  unit's `ExecStartPre`, or the GUI's own first-run wizard) and writes its own manifest the
  first time it starts. `docs/adr/0003`'s own follow-up section flagged this as open; it
  still is.
 - **`/usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/` is the only one of the three that's a plain
  root-owned, install-time write** — no per-user enumeration needed for that one.
 - **Detect snap Firefox and say so.** `docs/07-packaging.md` already commits to this
  ("detects whether Firefox is a snap... prints... a one-line note that the extension will
  pair over loopback") — the detection matters here specifically because if Firefox turns
  out to be neither deb/tarball nor a snap this spike covers (a genuinely unknown or future
  packaging of Firefox), silently trusting `NativeTransport` to work is exactly the failure
  mode ADR 0003 exists to prevent. `WebSocketTransport` is the guaranteed fallback either
  way (ADR 0003's own decision) — nothing breaks if the manifest doesn't land correctly, it
  just means the extension pairs over loopback instead of the (opportunistic, not
  required) native path.
 - **`docs/07-packaging.md`'s own install layout line currently lists only the
  system-wide `/usr/lib/mozilla/...` path.** That line is correct as far as it goes (it *is*
  one of the three locations, and the only pure root-owned one) but reads as if it were the
  whole story for native messaging; it predates this file and the ADR. Worth a line
  pointing here so the two documents don't quietly disagree — PKG/QA's call, not edited
  here since `docs/07` is PKG/QA's own file.
 ## The binary
 `nmhost/` builds `velox-nmhost` — see that directory's own `src/main.cpp` for what it does
 (a byte-level pump, no protocol logic) and `docs/05-extension-spec.md` §4 for the two
 transports it sits behind. It is deliberately dependency-free (not linked against any
 `veloxd_*` library) so wherever a packaging format's sandbox puts it, it has nothing else
 to go looking for at runtime.

 Provided by lane DAEMON (`daemon/docs/AGENT-DAEMON.md` build step 7: "systemd user units
 — `velox.service` + `velox.socket` for socket activation"), for PKG/QA to install per
 `docs/07-packaging.md`'s layout:
 ```
 /usr/lib/systemd/user/velox.service
 /usr/lib/systemd/user/velox.socket
 ```
 `packaging/` outside `nativehost/` is PKG/QA's per `CLAUDE.md`'s lane table; these two
 files are here because they are inputs to that packaging step, not a claim on the rest of
 the directory — same relationship `packaging/nativehost/` already has.
 ## Why both files, and what `RuntimeDirectory=` is doing
 `velox.socket` binds `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/velox/velox.sock` **before `veloxd` ever runs** and
 hands the daemon the already-listening fd at startup (`daemon/src/rpc/systemd_activation.cpp`
 implements the receiving half — `LISTEN_PID`/`LISTEN_FDS`, fd 3 — without a `libsystemd`
 link). Two things this buys over the daemon binding its own socket on every start:
 - **No window where a client gets `ECONNREFUSED`.** The socket exists and queues
  connections from the moment `velox.socket` is active, not from whenever `veloxd`
  finishes starting up — this is the actual point of socket activation, not just "start
  on demand."
 - **Cold-boot ordering is free.** Nothing has to wait for `veloxd` to be ready before the
  GUI, the CLI, or a native-messaging host can attempt a connection; the kernel queues it.
 `RuntimeDirectory=velox` on the socket unit creates `%t/velox` (mode 0700) before the
 `ListenStream=` bind — without it, binding fails outright the first time (nothing has
 created the parent directory yet). `veloxd` itself creates that same directory
 (`ensure_private_dir` in `runtime_dir.cpp`) for the case where it's started directly,
 outside systemd (`./veloxd` in a terminal, still supported and how most of this daemon's
 own testing runs) — the two paths converge on the same directory with the same mode
 either way.
 `UdsServer::start()` (`daemon/src/rpc/uds_server.cpp`) checks for the activated fd first
 and, if present, skips create/bind/chmod/listen entirely — the socket file's lifecycle then
 belongs to the unit (including `RemoveOnStop=yes` on stop), not to the daemon. Falls back
 to binding its own socket exactly as before when not socket-activated (a manual run, or a
 distro that ships the daemon without the unit files).
 ## What was deliberately left out
 `velox.service` does **not** set `ProtectSystem=`, `ProtectHome=`, or `ReadWritePaths=`.
 `saveTo.allowedRoots` is user-configurable to anywhere on the filesystem — an external
 drive, a second mount, anywhere `fs/safepath.hpp`'s own canonicalize-and-check accepts —
 not a fixed set of directories a unit file could enumerate ahead of time. A filesystem-level
 sandbox here would turn a legitimately-configured save location into an opaque
 `EROFS`/`EACCES` the daemon can't explain, in place of its own clear `-32011` — worse than
 no sandbox, specifically for a download manager. `NoNewPrivileges=yes` is kept: it has no
 such trade-off.
 ## Verifying socket activation without a real install
 `systemd-analyze verify --user velox.service velox.socket` checks unit-file syntax (it
 will complain that `/usr/bin/veloxd` and the `velox(1)` man page don't exist on a dev
 box that hasn't installed the package — expected, not a unit bug). To exercise the actual
 activation handshake without installing anything: bind a Unix socket, `dup2` it onto fd 3,
 fork, set `LISTEN_PID=<child pid>` and `LISTEN_FDS=1` in the child's environment, clear
 `FD_CLOEXEC` on fd 3, and `execve` `veloxd` — a real `session.hello` round-trips over that
 fd with no `bind()`/`listen()` call ever happening inside the daemon for that run. This is
 exactly what `velox.socket`'s `Requires=`/`ExecStart` sequence does in production; systemd
 supplies the fd, `veloxd` doesn't know the difference.
