Native Daemon

Select the Native backend:

mlab daemon backend native
mlab daemon status

The CLI and daemon run directly on the host:

mlab -> mlabd -> bot, strategy, and script workers

The CLI communicates with mlabd through an owner-only Unix socket:

~/.market-lab/execution/mlabd.sock

Workers run with the permissions of the operating-system user running mlabd. Use Native when you do not need a container boundary.

Logs and job state remain under ~/.market-lab/execution/. See Daemon troubleshooting.
