majordomus serve ensure

Make sure a ready server serves this checkout: start one when there is none or the lease is stale, wait for one that is starting, and report where it stands

Usage

majordomus serve ensure [OPTIONS]

Arguments

argument	value	default	description
--port	<PORT>	8741	The port the started server asks for first; a taken one is replaced by a free one
--idle	<SECONDS>	900	The started server stops when no peer has been attached for this many seconds
--wait	<SECONDS>	20	How long to wait for a server to become ready before reporting what stands
--format	text \| json	text	Output shape `text` — Lines for a person `json` — One JSON document, deterministic
--repo	<PATH>	—	Start the search for the repository root here (default: the current directory) (accepted by every subcommand)
--discovery	vcs \| filesystem	vcs	How declarative files are enumerated (accepted by every subcommand) `vcs` — Tracked files, through the version-control index (the layer's contract) `filesystem` — A walk of the work tree with the same glob semantics; untracked files included
--strict	flag	—	Refuse to proceed when any file of the layer carries an error diagnostic (accepted by every subcommand)
--share	<DIR>	—	The tool distribution's share directory (kinds.yaml, schemas/); default: $MAJORDOMUS_SHARE, then the repository's own share/, then the one beside the executable (accepted by every subcommand)

Examples

Make sure a server serves this checkout, and let it end when idle

Starts a server as a process of its own when none answers, waits until it is ready, and prints one line: the standing, the address, the pid. Run again, it finds the server ready and starts nothing. `--idle` is how long the started server outlives its last peer; one second here, so that the example leaves nothing behind.
```
$ majordomus serve ensure --idle 1 --wait 30
```
Verified by the example tests: exits 0; prints ready.

Where this comes from

Declared once in apps/majordomus-cli/src/cli.rs: clap for the structure, typed Rust metadata beside it for the examples. This page, majordomus serve ensure --help, docs/generated/cli.md and docs/generated/cli.json are projections of that one declaration.

The whole command line on one page: the registry's command-line page. The task lifecycle (init, start, finish, doctor, ...) belongs to the shell tool, a different program: Commands and its specification.
