+   cmux.mjs — host the ACCOUNT service as a cmux surface instead of
+   a detached launchd/systemd daemon, when the bridge was launched
+   from inside cmux.
+
+   Why a separate tier: the OS service (service.mjs) is invisible —
+   it logs to a file and is supervised by launchd KeepAlive. Inside
+   cmux, the user would rather see the service running in a normal
+   surface they can watch and kill, alongside everything else. cmux,
+   unlike launchd, does NOT relaunch a surface whose command exits,
+   so the surface runs `serve --supervise` (bridge.mjs) which restarts
+   the account supervisor itself on crash.
+
+   Detection is deliberately strict: being on $PATH is NOT proof cmux
+   spawned us (claude-session.mjs makes the same distinction). Only the
+   CMUX_WORKSPACE_ID / CMUX_SURFACE_ID env vars — which cmux injects
+   into every surface it creates — prove it, and we additionally confirm
+   the socket actually answers before committing to this tier. If either
+   check fails the caller falls back to the OS service.
+
+   Persistence trade-off (flagged to the user in launcher.mjs before
+   install): up while cmux runs · crash-restart via --supervise ·
+   best-effort return on cmux session-restore · does NOT survive
+   logout/reboot unless cmux launches at login.
