+# Daemon Lifecycle Management System
+
+**Status**: ✅ Implemented
+**Version**: 1.0.0
+**Date**: February 2026
+
+## Overview
+
+The Daemon Lifecycle Management System provides comprehensive frontend integration with the alphahuman Rust daemon, enabling real-time health monitoring, automatic lifecycle management, and user-friendly daemon controls throughout the application.
+
+## Background
+
+### Problem Statement
+
+The alphahuman application runs a sophisticated Rust daemon that manages critical backend services (gateway, channels, heartbeat, scheduler) and emits detailed health information every 5 seconds. However, the frontend previously had:
+
+- **Poor Visibility**: Daemon controls buried in developer console only
+- **No Real-Time Monitoring**: Manual status checks with raw JSON output
+- **No Automatic Management**: No startup detection or error recovery
+- **Disconnected UX**: Health events from Rust were ignored by frontend
+- **Manual Recovery**: Users had to manually restart failed services
+
+### Solution Overview
+
+This implementation creates a complete bridge between the Rust daemon's health system and the React frontend, providing:
+
+- Real-time health monitoring with visual indicators
+- Automatic daemon startup and error recovery
+- User-friendly health displays in main UI
+- Enhanced developer tools with live status
+- Coordinated daemon and socket connection management
+

+```
+
+### Event Flow
+
+1. **Health Generation**: Rust daemon generates health snapshots every 5 seconds
+2. **Event Emission**: Health data emitted via `alphahuman:health` Tauri event
+3. **Frontend Processing**: `daemonHealthService` receives and parses events
+4. **State Updates**: Redux state updated with component health information
+5. **UI Reactivity**: React components automatically re-render with new status
+6. **User Actions**: Manual controls trigger Tauri commands back to Rust
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Redux State Management
+
+**File**: `src/store/daemonSlice.ts`
+
+```typescript
+interface DaemonUserState {
+  status: 'starting' | 'running' | 'error' | 'disconnected';
+  healthSnapshot: HealthSnapshot | null;
+  components: {
+    gateway?: ComponentHealth;
+    channels?: ComponentHealth;
+    heartbeat?: ComponentHealth;
+    scheduler?: ComponentHealth;
+  };
+  lastHealthUpdate: string | null;
+  connectionAttempts: number;
+  autoStartEnabled: boolean;
+  isRecovering: boolean;
+  healthTimeoutId: string | null;
+}
+```
+
+**Key Features**:
+- Per-user daemon state isolation (following existing patterns)
+- Component-level health tracking with error details
+- Connection attempt management with exponential backoff
+- Auto-start preference persistence
+- Timeout handling for health event detection
+
+### Health Monitoring Service
+
+**File**: `src/services/daemonHealthService.ts`
+
+```typescript
+export class DaemonHealthService {
+  private healthTimeoutId: NodeJS.Timeout | null = null;
+  private readonly HEALTH_TIMEOUT_MS = 30000; // 30 seconds
+
+  async setupHealthListener(): Promise<UnlistenFn | null>
+  private parseHealthSnapshot(payload: unknown): HealthSnapshot | null
+  private updateReduxFromHealth(snapshot: HealthSnapshot): void
+  startHealthTimeout(): void
+}
+```
+
+**Responsibilities**:
+- Listen for `alphahuman:health` Tauri events from Rust
+- Parse and validate health snapshot data
+- Update Redux state with component health information
+- Manage 30-second timeout detection for disconnected daemon
+- Handle cleanup and error recovery
+
+### UI Components
+
+#### DaemonHealthIndicator
+
+**File**: `src/components/daemon/DaemonHealthIndicator.tsx`
+
+**Purpose**: Compact status indicator for main application UI
+
+**Visual States**:
+- 🟢 **Green**: All components running healthy (`status: 'running'`)
+- 🟡 **Yellow**: Daemon starting or recovering (`status: 'starting'`)
+- 🔴 **Red**: One or more components in error state (`status: 'error'`)
+- ⚪ **Gray**: Daemon disconnected or not running (`status: 'disconnected'`)
+
+**Features**:
+- Click to open detailed health panel
+- Tooltip showing component health summary
+- Responsive sizing (sm/md/lg variants)
+- Only visible in Tauri environments
+
+#### DaemonHealthPanel
+
+**File**: `src/components/daemon/DaemonHealthPanel.tsx`
+
+**Purpose**: Detailed health breakdown and manual controls
+
+**Features**:
+- Component health table with status, last update, restart counts
+- Manual restart buttons for individual components
+- Auto-start toggle with persistence
+- Connection retry controls
+- Real-time health information display
+- User-friendly error messages and troubleshooting hints
+
+### Lifecycle Management
+
+**File**: `src/hooks/useDaemonLifecycle.ts`
+
+**Automatic Behaviors**:
+
+1. **App Startup**:
+   - Detect existing daemon status
+   - Auto-start daemon if enabled and not running
+   - Setup health monitoring listeners
+
+2. **Error Recovery**:
+   - Exponential backoff retry attempts (1s → 2s → 4s → 8s → 30s max)
+   - Maximum 5 retry attempts before requiring manual intervention
+   - Clear error states on successful recovery
+
+3. **Background Handling**:
+   - Maintain health monitoring when app backgrounded
+   - Reconnection logic without page refresh
+   - Coordinate with socket connection management
+
+4. **Cleanup**:
+   - Proper event listener cleanup on unmount
+   - Timeout cancellation to prevent memory leaks
+   - Graceful shutdown coordination
+
+### Integration Points
+
+#### Enhanced Service Management
+
+**File**: `src/components/settings/panels/TauriCommandsPanel.tsx`
+
+**Improvements to Existing Developer Console**:
+
+- **Live Status Display**: Real-time daemon status with PID and uptime
+- **Component Health Grid**: Visual status for all daemon components
+- **Enhanced Controls**: Smart start/stop buttons with proper loading states
+- **Auto-Start Toggle**: User preference for automatic daemon startup
+- **Connection Tracking**: Display retry attempts and recovery status
+- **Better Error Messages**: User-friendly errors with troubleshooting hints
+
+**Before vs After**:
+```typescript
+// Before: Manual status check
+<PrimaryButton onClick={() => run(alphahumanServiceStatus, 'serviceStatus')}>
+  Status
+</PrimaryButton>
+
+// After: Live status display
+<div className="flex items-center gap-3">
+  <DaemonHealthIndicator size="md" />
+  <div>
+    <div className="text-white font-medium">Daemon Status: {status}</div>
+    <div className="text-xs text-gray-400">PID: {pid} | Uptime: {uptime}</div>
+  </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+#### Socket Provider Integration
+
+**File**: `src/providers/SocketProvider.tsx`
+
+**Coordinated State Management**:
+- Check daemon health before attempting socket connections
+- Display daemon-related errors in socket connection status
+- Coordinate daemon startup with socket connection flows
+- Provide daemon health context to socket consumers
+
+#### Main UI Integration
+
+**File**: `src/components/MiniSidebar.tsx`
+
+**User-Facing Integration**:
+- Daemon health indicator in main navigation (Tauri-only)
+- Click to open detailed health modal
+- Non-intrusive but easily accessible
+- Consistent with existing UI patterns
+
+## User Experience
+
+### For End Users
+
+1. **Visible Status**: Daemon health indicator in main UI shows system status at a glance
+2. **Automatic Operation**: Daemon starts automatically and recovers from errors without user intervention

+1. **UI Toggle**: Available in both health panel and settings console
+2. **Persistence**: Preference stored in Redux with persistence
+3. **Default**: Auto-start enabled by default for better UX
+
+### Health Monitoring
+
+- **Event Frequency**: Rust daemon emits health every 5 seconds
+- **Timeout Duration**: 30 seconds without health events = disconnected
+- **Retry Logic**: Maximum 5 attempts with exponential backoff
+- **Component Tracking**: Gateway, channels, heartbeat, scheduler components
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Potential Improvements
+
+1. **Health History**: Track daemon health over time with charts/graphs
+2. **Performance Metrics**: CPU/memory usage from daemon components
+3. **Log Integration**: Show daemon logs directly in health panel
+4. **Mobile Optimization**: Enhanced mobile-specific daemon management
+5. **Notification System**: Push notifications for critical daemon events
+
+### Extensibility
+
+The architecture supports easy extension for:
+- Additional daemon components
+- Custom health check logic
