hex-dev-rebuild

To rebuild and deploy a Rust daemon, this skill automates stopping the active daemon, compiling the Rust code in release mode via cargo, copying the binary to ~/.hex/bin/hex-nexus, removing stale lock files, and restarting the process.

Removing stale lock files when redeploying a daemon ensures that the newly restarted process does not conflict with residual file locks from the previously stopped instance, preventing startup failures and verifying a successful deployment.

Yes, a Rust toolchain with cargo is required to rebuild and deploy hex-nexus binaries. Additionally, you need shell permissions for process management and access to the user's configuration at ~/.hex.

The best way to automate Rust binary deployment and daemon restart is to use a skill that sequentially stops the daemon, builds the release binary, replaces the old executable, clears lock files, and restarts the process to verify dashboard accessibility.

Your hex-nexus daemon may fail to restart after a manual binary swap due to stale lock files left in the configuration directory. Removing these residual lock files before restarting resolves the startup conflict.

Yes, you can use cargo to build release binaries and copy them to a custom deployment directory like ~/.hex/bin/hex-nexus. This requires shell permissions for process management and file operations.
