Several plugin authors (like @schrieveslaach, @sunderme) have attempted to have an IDE start the daemon for the user. This is currently made difficult by the interactive questions (see #402), the unclear state (when is the daemon "ready"), and the need to extract the join code from the program's output.

So far, in our own use, we've always ran the daemon in an external terminal, so actual daemonization or auto-starting the daemon is not really supported by the tooling.

This is a tracking issue to brainstorm, collect, and discuss solutions for this.
