+## Phiemon Process Management (Daemon Setup)
+
+Start processes with automatic crash recovery and multi-daemon support:
+
+```bash
+phicode my_app --phiemon                    # Start as daemon
+phicode my_app --phiemon --name myservice   # Custom name
+phicode my_app --phiemon --max-restarts 10  # Restart limit
+phicode --phiemon-status                    # Check all daemons
+phicode --phiemon-status myservice          # Check specific daemon
+```
+
+**Phiemon Daemon Features:**
+- **Multi-daemon support** with isolated state files per process
+- **Automatic restart** on process crashes with configurable limits
+- **Exponential backoff** prevents resource exhaustion (1s→2s→4s→8s→16s→30s max)
+- **Per-daemon state persistence** through `phiemon_{name}.state` files
+- **Process tracking** with PID monitoring and crash detection
+- **Enhanced debugging** with detailed error logging and status reporting
+- **Concurrent execution** of multiple services without conflicts
+
+**Status Management:**
+```bash
+phicode --phiemon-status                    # List all active daemons
+phicode --phiemon-status webapp             # Check specific daemon status
+phicode --phiemon-list                      # Show daemon overview with uptimes
+```
+
+The daemon wraps standard PhiCode execution, maintaining all security scanning and caching behavior while providing production-ready process management. Each daemon operates independently with its own state tracking and restart logic.

 # Custom Syntax Support
 
 *Phicode Engine supports custom syntax through configurable symbol mappings. This feature is completely optional - the engine works with standard Python.*
