  * launchctl install/uninstall are the privileged steps; `status`/`doc` are read-only.

+ * Linux: `status`/`doc` branch on `process.platform` to read systemd --user
+ * units instead of launchd plists (same pattern as InstallWorkSweep.ts and
+ * the sibling Install*.ts scripts, which each materialize a systemd unit
+ * pair on Linux). `install`/`uninstall` need no branch here — they just run
+ * each service's `install:` command, which is itself platform-dispatching
+ * inside the Install*.ts script. Services with no systemd unit yet (macOS
+ * menu-bar app, deriver — both launchd-only by design) correctly report
+ * "✗ missing" on Linux; that's fact, not a bug.
