 - The deploy script accepts absolute tool overrides for those commands and passes them into the remote script. In plain mode, the generated start/stop/status scripts also bake in absolute `MKDIR` and `RM` paths.
-- In plain mode, the deploy script does not install systemd files. It writes executable scripts to `$APP_DIR/bin/start_mailcat.sh`, `$APP_DIR/bin/stop_mailcat.sh`, and `$APP_DIR/bin/status_mailcat.sh`.

 - `systemd/mailcat-sort.service` is a template consumed by `deploy_vps.sh`; after placeholder replacement it runs `sort_mail_daemon.py --account backup --folder INBOX` and stores state/logs under `/var/lib/mailcat` and `/var/log/mailcat`.
