fix(daemon): run the systemd unit from /opt so setup works on Fedora/RHEL - #957
On Fedora, RHEL, Rocky and Alma, failproofai config fails at its last step: the daemon service never reaches a running state.
These distros run SELinux enforcing. The unit's ExecStart pointed at ~/.failproofai/bin/failproofaid-<version>, and SELinux labels files under /homeuser_home_t. The targeted policy gives systemd (init_t) no execute permission on that type, so the unit fails 203/EXEC Permission denied and waitForDaemonRunning() times out. Debian/Ubuntu/Mint and macOS don't enforce SELinux, which is why they work.
Verified against the shipped policies with sesearch / matchpathcon on Fedora 41 and Rocky 9:

Fix
On Linux, installDaemonService() now copies the binary as root (install → atomic mv) to /opt/failproofai/<user>/bin/failproofaid-<version>, runs restorecon on it when SELinux is enabled, and points ExecStart there.
Why /opt/.../bin: the policy's generic /opt/(.*/)?bin(/.*)? rule labels it bin_t. /usr/local/libexec is usr_t, and /usr is read-only on Silverblue/CoreOS. restorecon is needed because a new file inherits its directory's usr_t rather than the label the policy assigns to its path.
Per user, like the unit name, so one user's uninstall can't delete another's binary.
The ~/.failproofai/bin copy stays, because daemonVersionSkew() and refreshDaemonToCliVersion() read it.
Install prunes the /opt copies to the current version plus one. Uninstall removes the copy, and the manual-removal instructions now include it.
FAILPROOFAI_DAEMON_BINARY (an explicit binary or command) is started as given and not copied.
This applies to all Linux distros, not only SELinux ones. Existing installs move over on the next failproofai update or config, and keep running as they are until then.
macOS is unchanged.
Testing
Unit tests: target-path resolution (Linux, the /opt default, explicit binary, non-file, macOS) and the manual-removal text.
New root-only real-systemd test: installs a managed binary, asserts ExecStart is the root-owned 0755 copy, that the service is running, and that uninstall removes it.
Fedora 41, real systemd, as a non-root sudo user, real failproofaid + worker: install succeeds, the daemon runs from /opt/failproofai/alice/bin, and probeDaemonEndToEnd() and probeDaemonPolicyEvaluation() both return true. Reinstall pruned the old copies, and uninstall left nothing in /opt.
The root-only lifecycle suite (11 tests) passes on Fedora 41 and Ubuntu 24.04 containers with systemd.
tsc, lint, test:run (8751 passed) and test:e2e (364 passed) all pass locally.
Not covered: SELinux can't run inside Docker, so enforcing mode itself is verified from the policy, not a live run. Next is a beta install on a real Fedora machine.
Linux daemon staging is integrated across install, systemd, uninstall, tests, and release metadata. Three advisory correctness/operability issues remain: unsafe manual shell commands, staged-binary cleanup after failed installation, and a contradictory release-note version.
Changes
Stages managed Linux daemon binaries under /opt/failproofai//bin and updates systemd ExecStart.
Removes staged per-user binaries during daemon uninstall and documents manual removal.
Bumps release metadata to 1.0.13-beta.3.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Linux installations now run the daemon from a root-owned, system-managed location instead of the user’s home directory. SELinux labels are restored when applicable.
Updates and configuration changes migrate existing Linux installations. Older staged versions are pruned, retaining the current and most recent prior version.
Bug Fixes
Uninstall removes the staged Linux daemon files. Manual removal instructions include the same cleanup.
On Fedora, RHEL, Rocky and Alma, SELinux labels files under /home
user_home_t and gives systemd (init_t) no execute permission on that
type, so a unit whose ExecStart pointed at
~/.failproofai/bin/failproofaid-<version> failed 203/EXEC and
`failproofai config` aborted at its last step.
On Linux the install now copies the binary as root to
/opt/failproofai/<user>/bin/failproofaid-<version> (bin_t under the
policy's generic /opt/(.*/)?bin rule; restorecon re-applies it, since a
new file inherits its directory's usr_t) and points ExecStart there.
The daemon then runs as unconfined_service_t, which may run the worker's
node from ~/.nvm and accept hooks on the socket. The home copy stays for
the version checks; install prunes the /opt copy to current + one, and
uninstall removes it. macOS is unchanged.
Verified against the shipped policies (matchpathcon/sesearch on Fedora
41 and Rocky 9) and end to end on real systemd: the real daemon + worker
installed by a sudo user on Fedora 41 answers the hook and policy
probes; the root-only lifecycle suite passes on Fedora 41 and Ubuntu
24.04.
Linux service installation now stages managed daemon binaries in a per-user system directory and uses the staged path for systemd. Installation attempts SELinux relabeling and prunes older copies. Uninstall removes the per-user directory, and manual removal instructions include the same cleanup. Release declarations change to version 1.0.13-beta.3.

Summary
Resolve and stage system binary src/hooks/daemon-service.ts, __tests__/hooks/daemon-service.test.ts
Linux managed binaries resolve to versioned targets under /opt/failproofai by default. Installation stages the binary with elevated permissions and attempts SELinux relabeling when enabled. Explicit binary overrides and non-Linux platforms keep the supplied path.
Install and run from staged binary src/hooks/daemon-service.ts, __tests__/hooks/daemon-service.test.ts, CLAUDE.md, CHANGELOG.md, Cargo.toml, hermes-plugin/plugin.yaml, package.json
Linux installation writes the staged path into the systemd unit and prunes older copies after the service runs. Manual-install instructions, project documentation, the changelog, and release declarations describe or reflect the staged path and release version.
Remove staged binary on uninstall src/hooks/daemon-service.ts, src/hooks/uninstall-cli.ts, __tests__/hooks/uninstall-cli.test.ts
Linux uninstall removes the per-user system binary directory and attempts to remove the shared parent directory. Manual removal instructions and tests include the per-user directory cleanup.

Medium/High Quote paths in manual Linux recovery commands — When sudo credentials are unavailable, daemonInstallCommands() emits unquoted ${dir}, ${binaryPath}, ${target}, and ${systemBinaryRoot()} at lines 937-939. A valid home/binary path containing spaces or shell metacharacters is split or interpreted by the shell, so the documented recovery sequence fails or runs unintended shell syntax instead of staging the daemon. The newly added manual removal command is likewise unquoted at src/hooks/uninstall-cli.ts:426. (src/hooks/daemon-service.ts:937)
Clean up the staged binary after unit creation fails.
installDaemonService() stages the managed Linux binary before writing the unit. Its failure catch returns without removing the staged target. A unit-write failure can therefore leave a root-owned binary under /opt/failproofai/<user>/bin even though installation failed. Repeated failed versions can accumulate because pruning runs only after the service reaches a running state. Add rollback for this failed-install path while preserving any target still referenced by an existing unit.
The proposed cleanup at the no-unit uninstall return is not the reachable production correction: the uninstall CLI requires an existing unit, and the configure wizard requires a "running" service state.

Quote the managed binary path in the manual install recipe.
daemonInstallCommands() inserts binaryPath into sudo install -m 0755 ${binaryPath} ${target} without shell quoting. When canElevate() is false, installDaemonService() returns this command, joined with &&, as the manual install recipe. If the path contains a space, the shell splits it into separate words. install then receives the wrong source list, exits with an error, and the && chain stops before the systemd unit is written. This file already passes other command paths through shellQuote(), so this line should do the same.

Route legacy Linux unit refreshes through binary staging.
When configuration finds a healthy daemon with a stale unit, ensureDaemonServiceCurrent() calls upgradedServiceDefinition(). That function preserves the existing home-directory ExecStart, while only the normal install path calls stageSystemBinary(). The next systemd start can therefore still use the SELinux-incompatible home path. Make the Linux upgrade-definition flow pass the staged path to systemdUnitContents() after elevation and preserve explicit command values.

Clean up staged binaries when the unit is already absent.
survey() sets serviceInstalled from the unit file's existence. After manual unit removal, runUninstallCommand() clears daemonConfigured but skips the if (found.serviceInstalled) block, so uninstallDaemonService() is never called. Moving cleanup before its early return alone does not fix this supported uninstall path. Invoke cleanup for the configured-but-unit-missing state, and remove the staged directory in the missing-unit branch.

Linux daemon staging is integrated across install, systemd, uninstall, tests, and release metadata. Three advisory correctness/operability issues remain: unsafe manual shell commands, staged-binary cleanup after failed installation, and a contradictory release-note version.
