 ## Daemon 管理
 
-### `visionl daemon start`
+> 当前 CLI **没有 `daemon start/stop` 子命令**。首条页面命令会自动拉起**带反检测浏览器**的 daemon（`boot.js`）；手动启动可选如下方式。
 
-手动启动 daemon。
+### 手动启动浏览器 daemon
 
 ```bash
-visionl daemon start [--port <n>]
+# 方式一：daemon 包 start 脚本（= node ./dist/boot.js）
+cd packages/daemon && npm run start
 
-# 默认端口 9527
-visionl daemon start
-# 指定端口
-visionl daemon start --port 8080
+# 方式二：直接节点
+node packages/daemon/dist/boot.js
+
+# 方式三：全局 bin（构建后安装）
+visionl-daemon
+
+# 指定端口：VISIONL_PORT 环境变量，默认 9527
+VISIONL_PORT=8080 node packages/daemon/dist/boot.js
 ```
 
-### `visionl daemon stop`
+> 注意：必须走 `boot.js`（它初始化 `BrowserManager` 并把它传给 `startServer`）。若直接 `node packages/daemon/dist/server.js`，daemon 会**没有浏览器**，页面路由不注册，`open/list/...` 一律 `not found`（这是已修复的坑）。
 
-优雅关闭 daemon（不杀死已打开的页面）。
+### 重启 / 停止 daemon
 
-```bash
-visionl daemon stop
-```
+没有 `daemon stop` 子命令；结束方式为 `kill <daemon的pid>`（含浏览器常驻进程）即可。
 
 ### `visionl daemon status`
