The startup registry lock is acquired at line 186, but is only released in three places: (1) the explicit early-exit when another daemon is detected after lock (line 201), (2) the `server.on('error', releaseStartupRegistryLock)` handler registered at line 412, and (3) the `finally` block inside the `server.listen` callback at line 433. If any synchronous or asynchronous code between lock acquisition and `server.listen` (e.g. `buildDaemonToolCatalogFromManifest`, `loadManifest`, `startDaemonServer`) throws, the lock is never released. The top-level `main().catch` handler calls `process.exit(1)` but does not invoke `releaseStartupRegistryLock`, which can leave a stale lock file blocking subsequent daemon startups for the same workspace.
