Desktop Companion Role
The desktop companion is the persistent local host option. It is the right fit when you want:
- +a tray or login-item style workflow
- +a window that stays inspectable over the same bridge host
- +an installed local companion that

The CLI command here is intentionally thin. Its job is to find or install the companion and launch it with the right URL.
