Subject: [PATCH] feat: launchd daemon option for persistent proxy

Replaces nohup/disown with a macOS LaunchAgent that provides:
- Auto-start on login (RunAtLoad)
- Auto-restart on crash (KeepAlive)
- Singleton by design (launchd manages one instance)

Install: cp launchd/com.copilot.proxy.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
Load:    launchctl bootstrap gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.copilot.proxy.plist
