FACTUAL ACTIVITY RECORD · An activity record based on work that took place
Unifying safe operation of the resident sync service
Combining environment-aware setup with recoverable install, stop, and run-now operations
Purpose
The resident sync service still depended on fixed executable paths, creating risk across environments and during reinstall. Status checks, immediate runs, and removal needed one consistent safety boundary.
Implementation
Installation now resolves the active Node and project paths, generates the service configuration, and registers it only after format validation. Failure restores the previous configuration. Removal briefly waits for shutdown to avoid races and moves the configuration to a recoverable location.
Install, uninstall, status, and run-now operations were aligned. Run-now restarts the existing service instead of launching a second sync process beside the resident one.
The implementation shows the install-script core: confirm the existing service has stopped, load the replacement, and hand failures to rollback. Error text is shortened, while control order is retained.

What was confirmed
Verification results
Run-now changed the active process and started synchronization immediately.
After uninstall, the service was unregistered and its configuration remained recoverable. Reinstall returned the service to a running state and continuous synchronization resumed.
Script syntax, generated configuration, and sync behavior passed their tests, and the unified operating path was applied at the cutoff.
Basis for completion
Completion required a real round trip through install, status, run-now, recoverable uninstall, and reinstall while synchronization continued correctly.
