Run the daemon

sturn daemon polls WAL heads and fans new events onto topics (repo.<id>.ops|claims|review|presence) in the embedded bus store.

sturn daemon                      # foreground
sturn deploy service              # systemd user unit, Restart=always

If the daemon is down

Nothing is lost. The bus is a cache — ops still live in refs/sturn/wal/* and replicate via git push/git fetch. Subscribers catch up by replaying the WAL. The daemon only removes latency; it never owns truth.
