The foreground guard (dec0eee) checks launchctl print to prevent double-running when the managed service is active. However, when launchd spawns the gateway, launchctl print shows the live PID of *that very process*, causing it to immediately exit with "Gateway is already running" — producing a crash loop. Two fixes: 1. Skip the foreground guard when XPC_SERVICE_NAME (launchd) or INVOCATION_ID (systemd) env vars are set, indicating the process IS the managed service. 2. Use hasNonZeroPID() in Status() instead of checking for any "pid =" substring — "pid = 0" appears when the service is bootstrapped but not actually running, causing false positives.
