Holdor prevents Mac sleep during agent tasks

Holdor is an open-source macOS utility that prevents system sleep specifically while AI coding agents like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf are running. It enables secure, background agent execution even when the screen is locked or the laptop lid is closed.

// ANALYSIS

The utility uses native macOS `caffeinate` assertions tied to specific PIDs to minimize power drain while satisfying corporate "lock-on-leave" security policies. Its native Swift implementation ensures a zero-Electron footprint, and its context-aware design automatically releases system assertions once the protected application is closed.
