Supported operations include execute_bash (child_process.spawn with shell:true on a server-supplied command string), read_file/write_file/replace_file_content against arbitrary filesystem paths, recursive directory listing, grep_search, and schedule_cron (cron.schedule wrapping child_process.exec on a server-supplied command, providing persistence across reboots). All task fields come from the network peer, giving aclade.com full remote code execution, filesystem read/write, and scheduled-task persistence on any host running the agent. The daemon additionally polls https://registry.npmjs.org/aclade-agent/latest hourly and, on version change, runs `npm install -g aclade-agent@latest` and re-execs itself, so any future publication of the package (including from a compromised maintainer account) is automatically fetched and executed at the daemon\u0027s privilege level (README documents global install via sudo/PM2).\n",
