How to detect:

If the luigid daemon process terminates or fails to start, Luigi tasks cannot be scheduled or executed. The scheduler listens on port 8082 by default and must remain running for the duration of task execution.

Recommended action:

Before executing Luigi tasks, verify luigid process is running with `ps aux | grep luigid`. Configure process supervision (systemd, supervisor, or container orchestration health checks) to auto-restart the daemon on failure. Monitor port 8082 availability. Keep the terminal running or daemonize the process properly.
