Description

It technically works and has some use-cases but IPNS records won't persist unless a daemon republishes them in the background. This has now come up several times on the forums and I expect it to come up more frequently in the future.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the IPNS publish command implementation in the Kubo repository. Determine how to detect whether the daemon is running and add a warning message when publishing without a running daemon. Consider using the daemon's API connection or lock file to check daemon status.
