Run in the background

Install the background jobs so Dobby builds, reviews and reports while you work on other things, or run it in a terminal instead.

Install the jobs from the copy you installed with npm i -g dobby-ai.
Terminal
```
dobby jobs install
```
Check that every job has a tick.
Terminal
```
dobby jobs status
```

Job	Runs
`tick`	Always. Plans and builds the next ticket, and runs the review scan when Discord is off.
`listener`	Always, with Discord only. Messages and the review scan.
`dashboard`	Always. The dashboard at `http://127.0.0.1:4710`.
`health`	Hourly. Checks jobs, disk and pipeline.
`cos`	Daily at 08:05. The morning brief.
`graphify`	Daily at 05:30. Refreshes code maps.

Nothing runs while the computer sleeps. Missed jobs run when it wakes.

After you change Node or move Claude Code

Jobs only know the folders they had at install. Install them again:

dobby jobs install

tail -f ~/.local/share/dobby/logs/tick.log

dobby start

It runs until Ctrl-C. It refuses to start while this install's jobs are running.
