config reload

Reload configuration and apply changes.

Usage

runix config reload

Description

Re-reads the runix.yaml config file, validates it, computes a diff against the current config, and applies changes without restarting healthy processes.

Examples

# Reload config
runix config reload

# No changes detected
# [Runix] No configuration changes detected

# Changes detected
# [Runix] Configuration changes:
#   + process "worker" added
#   ~ process "api" env.PORT changed: "8080" → "9090"
# [Runix] Configuration reloaded via daemon

Behavior

1. Reads the current config from viper state
2. Re-reads the config file from disk
3. Validates the new config
4. Computes a diff between old and new configs
5. If daemon is running, sends ActionConfigReload IPC
6. If daemon is not running, changes apply on next start

What Gets Applied

Change	Action
New process added	Start the process
Process removed	Stop and remove the process
Process config changed	Reload the process
Defaults changed	Apply on next restart
Cron jobs changed	Update the scheduler
