External review service management
External-mode documentation is now split by task so setup prerequisites are not hidden inside OS service definitions.
Start here
- Read How external mode works.
- Complete Set up external mode, including the one-off worker check.
- Register the worker for macOS or Linux.
- Use Operations and troubleshooting for upgrades, status, failures, and disabling the service.
The old one-page service guide mixed configuration, executable discovery, authentication, and service registration. These pages preserve the same launchd and systemd --user workflows while making the required order explicit.
