sf-cncp-panel: launchd → pm2 cron_restart (gui/$UID domain unreachable)

e27fd4f2a0ae3b5f2e45133cf7422703e16c96c1 · 2026-05-19 21:23:43 -0700 · SteveStudio2

The com.steve.sf-cncp-panel launchd plist still exists at
~/Library/LaunchAgents/ but can't be loaded from non-Aqua shells
(launchctl bootstrap gui/$UID returns error 125 'Domain does not
support specified action'). The launchd job was throttled to oblivion
after the May-7 freeze and never came back.

Same script (scripts/cncp-panel-data.js), now run by pm2 with
cron_restart='*/1 * * * *' + autorestart:false. Verified: cron fires
~30s past every minute boundary, JSON file mtime advances, runs exit 0.

Legacy plist left in place but inert — safe to delete once Steve
confirms nothing else references it.
