🛠️ CLI Daemon Lifecycle

The extension manages the VetroLog background daemon automatically. If you have the standalone VetroLog desktop app or CLI installed, the extension auto-discovers it across your system PATH, Homebrew, Snap, or workspace builds.

You can also start, stop, or restart the daemon anytime:

• Restart Local Daemon: VetroLog: Restart Local Daemon
• Stop Local Daemon: VetroLog: Stop Local Daemon
• Output Channel: Check the VetroLog Daemon tab in the Output panel (Ctrl+Shift+U / Cmd+Shift+U) for logs and connection status.
