* fix(cli): prepend node bin dir to service unit PATH so npx-based agents resolve systemd/launchd units hard-coded a system-only PATH. Under per-user node managers (fnm, nvm, asdf, volta, mise), node lives in a versioned subdirectory like ~/.local/share/fnm/node-versions/v24.14.0/installation/bin, so the daemon could exec node (ExecStart resolves the absolute path) but could not exec npx — every ACP agent built with `npx -y <bridge-pkg>` (claude, codex, opencode, …) failed at spawn time with "peer disconnected before response". `captureLauncher()` already records the node binary path. Its parent dir is exactly where the matching npm/npx live, so prepend it to the unit's PATH (with dedup so /usr/local/bin etc. don't appear twice). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(cli): guard pathWithNodeBinDir against non-POSIX nodePath `path.dirname` returns `'.'` on POSIX when given a path with no `/` separator (e.g. a Windows-style `C:\…\node.exe`). Prepending `.` to a service unit's PATH would put CWD ahead of system dirs in the daemon context — a latent privilege-escalation footgun if any future caller ever passed a relative or bare-filename nodePath. Production is safe because `captureLauncher()` uses `process.execPath` (always absolute on Linux/macOS), so the guard is defensive, not a behavior change. Adds regression tests for both systemd and launchd, plus a previously missing launchd system-mode + versioned-bin-dir test.

Kandev
Manage tasks. Orchestrate agents. Review changes. Ship value.
Quick Start
Homebrew
brew install kdlbs/kandev/kandev
kandev
NPX (requires npm 7+)
npx kandev@latest
Either install path resolves a platform-matched runtime (Go backend, agentctl, Next.js standalone web), launches the backend + web, and opens your browser. Data (worktrees, SQLite DB) is stored in ~/.kandev by default.
Version and Updates
The package manager owns the runtime version. kandev@X.Y.Z ships with the matching runtime.
- Update via Homebrew:
brew upgrade kandev - Update via npm/npx:
npx kandev@latestornpm install -g kandev@latest - Print CLI version:
kandev --version
Advanced: pin a specific runtime tag
--runtime-version <tag> downloads a specific GitHub release runtime instead of using the installed one. For debugging compatibility issues only:
kandev --runtime-version v0.16.0
Run as a Service
Install kandev as a systemd (Linux) or launchd (macOS) service so it auto-starts and stays running across reboots:
kandev service install # user mode (laptop, single-user)
sudo kandev service install --system # system mode (VPS, shared host)
See docs/run-as-a-service.md for the full guide — user vs system mode comparison, update workflow, troubleshooting.
