Supervise a Python HTTP daemon by using the Rust binary to launch server.py and manage status notifications for the task runner plugin. This architecture coordinates the daemon lifecycle and reports status across macOS and Linux environments.

The Task Runner browser-extension API integrates by exposing a contract reference that allows browser extensions to communicate with the Python HTTP daemon. Configuration for apps and scripts enables the daemon to manage IDEs through this API.

Yes, you can configure apps and scripts for the daemon to manage IDEs across macOS and Linux environments. The Rust supervisor handles launching server.py while processing the configurable apps and scripts defined for your specific IDE workflow.

The API contract specification for endpoints and schemas is located in the separate qol-tray-task-runner-ide-checkout skill. Use that skill for endpoint definitions while this skill covers the Rust supervisor and daemon management.

A Rust supervisor is needed to launch server.py directly because it provides robust status notifications and lifecycle management for the Python HTTP daemon. Running the daemon directly bypasses the configurable apps and scripts integration the Rust binary enables.

If the task runner daemon is not working during startup, check the Rust supervisor logs for server.py launch failures. Limitations include incorrect app or script configurations and missing dependencies required for browser extension integration across different environments.
