Process Management

Process commands are terminal-only because they affect the running service and every connected channel.

Lifecycle commands

`chemag stop`	Stop the running service
`chemag restart`	Stop and start the service
`chemag update`	Apply an authorized update, dependencies, CLI installation, and restart
`chemag status`	Inspect process, version, model, and channel state
`chemag logs -n 100`	Show a bounded recent log window
`chemag logs -f`	Follow live service logs
`chemag install-browser`	Install the optional browser-tool runtime

Do not update a modified production tree blindly

Review release notes, preserve local modules, run the website and product tests, and maintain a rollback point before applying an update.
