# ADR 0001: Single Binary CLI And Daemon

## Status

Accepted.

## Decision

The project ships one executable: `geth`. It has daemon mode with
`geth daemon run` and control mode through commands such as `geth status`.

Control commands use a local Unix socket. There are no separate `gethd` or
`gethctl` binaries.

The same binary also owns daemon service installation through `geth daemon
service ...`. Service installation targets user service managers: systemd user
units on Linux, launchd user agents on macOS, and per-user scheduled tasks on
Windows.

## Consequences

Packaging and user mental model stay simple. The daemon remains the owner of
identity, Iroh endpoint state, resources, and synchronized data structures.
The bootstrap avoids privileged system service installation.
