 // Why: daemons survive app updates, so wire behavior must be version-gated.
+// v48 skips v47, which the 1.4.227 release (1.4.224 plus picks) took; its daemon is adopted as previous.
 // v46 starts each new Linux terminal in its own systemd scope beside the daemon's.
 // v45 starts new macOS tabs in the update-safe terminal host helper beside an existing daemon.
 // v44 gives every pane the `claude` function that follows the selected Claude account (v42 had it,
 // v43 dropped it with the revert); v41 stages long startup commands as sourced scripts; v40 rolled
 // the #25130/#24636 shell-wrapper changes and the wider agent list into a fresh daemon; older owners
 // stay attachable.
