maintenance

To detect and repair system drift after an update, run the sync-organism maintenance script which verifies alignment with the expected system state, checks launchd services, and automatically corrects drift when found.

The best way to verify launchd service health is to run an automated maintenance check that confirms essential services and Samara.app are active, healthy, and operating without integrity issues.

Run a quick health check by executing the sync-organism script with the --check flag to verify drift status and output whether drift is detected, all without requiring external installations.

You should run maintenance checks during initial setup, after system updates, during wake-cycle issues, or on a scheduled basis to detect drift, verify launchd services, and ensure critical integrity checks pass.

No, the maintenance script requires zero external dependencies or installations, executing standard shell commands and reading internal system paths to perform drift checks, launchd verification, and self-repair actions.

Stale locks and broken symlinks cause reliability issues by disrupting critical system paths, and the maintenance script addresses this by detecting stale locks and verifying critical symlinks during its integrity checks.
