   - Status monitoring and reporting
   - Graceful shutdown handling

2. **Configuration Management**
   - YAML configuration file support
   - Runtime configuration updates
   - Configuration validation
   - Default configuration templates

3. **CLI Integration Points**
   - Integration with existing claude-mpm CLI framework
   - Command help and documentation
   - Error handling and user feedback
   - Status reporting and monitoring commands

4. **Platform Compatibility**
   - Cross-platform command implementation
   - Platform-specific configuration options
   - Path resolution and environment handling

- Monitoring intervals
- Restart policies and backoff settings
- State preservation options
- Platform-specific overrides

## Acceptance Criteria
- [x] run-guarded command implemented and functional

## Dependencies
- MemoryGuardian service (ISS-0042)
- State Management system (ISS-0043)
- claude-mpm CLI framework
- YAML parsing libraries

## Estimated Effort
40 hours (1 week)

## Phase
Phase 3: Platform Integration
