The backend now runs as a persistent system service (LaunchAgent on macOS, Startup Registry on Windows).
It starts automatically at login and remains active to manage background AI tasks even when Lightroom is closed.
Security & Permissions
Windows: You may see a SmartScreen warning ("Windows protected your PC") during installation because the installer is not signed. Click "More info" and "Run anyway" to proceed.
macOS: If Gatekeeper blocks the installer, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway" under the Security section. Alternatively, run xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <path-to-pkg> in Terminal to clear the block.
Docker Deployment
For containerized environments, use the LrGeniusAI-plugin-docker-backend-<version>.zip asset which includes the pre-configured plugin and Docker setup.
