Research direction
Start with codex-rs/app-server-daemon/README.md, then inspect the current CLI handling for codex remote-control and its explicit subcommands. Update the README so the top-level command is described as launching the foreground remote-control app-server, while daemon lifecycle behavior is attributed to start, stop, and restart.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
What happened?
codex-rs/app-server-daemon/README.md says top-level codex remote-control bootstraps/enables the daemon depending on updater-loop state.
The current CLI code handles codex remote-control with no subcommand by starting an app-server in the foreground with remote control enabled. The daemon lifecycle path is under explicit subcommands such as codex remote-control start.
Expected behavior
The app-server-daemon README should describe the current behavior: top-level codex remote-control runs the foreground remote-control app-server, while daemon start/stop/restart behavior is controlled by the explicit subcommands.
Additional context
I searched open issues and PRs for terms including codex remote-control, foreground, daemon, and app-server-daemon README, and did not find an existing open item that appears to cover this docs mismatch.
