CLAUDE.md says to stop a daemon run by hand for testing with
pkill -x ipx. On Tower the host sees processes inside containers, sopkill -x ipxthere also matches theipx daemonrunning in the iPodderX container and kills production. Found while reading CLAUDE.md on 2026-09-19; a scratch daemon for the Cloudflare token check was stopped by its PID instead for this reason. The advice should be to stop a hand-run daemon by its own PID.Fixed in
73092e6: CLAUDE.md now says to stop a hand-run daemon by its own PID (start it with& echo $! > pid, stop it withkill $(cat pid)), and warns thatpkill -x ipxalso kills production's daemon on Tower. docs/cli.md keepspkill -x ipxfor a plain install, with a warning about hosts that also run ipx in a container. Docs only, nothing to deploy.
