What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00060 | $0.01230 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00615 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00246 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00123 |
Grade A, and why
run-the-daemon scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
curl -s localhost:7433/v0/healthz # {"ok":true,"version":"v0"} How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Run the manzanasd daemon
One daemon per Mac, port :7433. Never run two daemons against the same
CoreSimulator state; a second experimental daemon goes on 7434+ with
--mock only.
Start
make build # bin/manzanasd, bin/manzanas, bin/manzanas-broker
./bin/manzanasd --addr :7433 # on a Mac with Xcode
./bin/manzanasd --addr :7433 --mock # anywhere (Linux/CI): mock fleet, no simctl
curl -s localhost:7433/v0/healthz # {"ok":true,"version":"v0"}
Production installs use the LaunchAgent: deploy/install.sh --binary ../manzanasd (installs to ~/bin/manzanasd, RunAtLoad+KeepAlive, logs to
~/.manzanasd/logs/, log rotation). Upgrade = re-run install.sh with the new
binary. Remove with deploy/uninstall.sh [--purge].
Flags that matter (each also has an MANZANASD_* env var)
| Flag | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
--addr |
:7433 |
listen address |
--mock |
off | mock registry (no simctl; state/actions return 501) |
--pool-sims |
empty | comma-separated UDIDs kept in the park/thaw warm pool |
--pool-slim-profile |
empty | simslim profile applied to pool sims before parking (simslim v0.6.0+: batched launchctl transitions make the slim step much faster, esp. Intel; simslim verify gives exact drift checks; profiles needing in-app purchases keep store in their except array) |
--pool-max-running |
0 = class default (2 Intel / 4 Apple Silicon) | cap on Booted un-parked sims; negative disables |
--pool-load-factor |
0 = 2.0 | refuse boots when 1-min load > factor x cores; negative disables |
--pool-min-free-disk-gb |
0 = 5 | refuse boots below this free disk; negative disables |
--pool-footprint-cap-mb |
0 = 3072 | watchdog recycles a pool sim above this phys_footprint; negative disables |
--simbridge |
~/bin/simbridge or $PATH |
warm-actions helper binary |
--no-warm |
off | disable the warm actions backend |
--warm-max-targets / --warm-idle-ttl |
4 / 5m | resident helper capacity / idle shutdown |
--janitor-reap-stale-locks |
off | let the janitor shut down (never delete) unmanaged Booted sims whose sim-<udid> fleet lock is stale (>=2h) or missing, after the staleness persists a full grace (>=10 min); recommended ON for fleet daemons |
--lock-dir |
/tmp/manzanas_locks (env MANZANAS_LOCK_DIR) |
fleet lock directory holding sim-<udid> lock files; fleet machines set MANZANAS_LOCK_DIR=/tmp/manzanas_locks |
--journal-dir |
~/.manzanasd/journal |
empty string disables the journal |
--journal-max-age / --journal-max-bytes |

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
- 10d ago First seen · 73 lines · 60 tokens per session scan A d89f1b176a83
run-the-daemon is a skill published in the GitHub repository BariBariGood/manzanas (20 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,230 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
