🐞 Describe the bug

Building the server-enabled CLI on macOS fails due to missing Darwin-specific symbol implementations in the cmd package.

cmd/serve.go unconditionally calls maybeRunAsService and sigHandlerConfigReload, but neither is available for Darwin builds, causing compilation to fail.

💻 Components impacted

ntfy server (CLI build path), specifically make cli-darwin-server

💡 Screenshots and/or logs

Reproduction command:

make cli-darwin-server

Build output:

# heckel.io/ntfy/v2/cmd
cmd/serve.go:509:26: undefined: maybeRunAsService
cmd/serve.go:517:5: undefined: sigHandlerConfigReload
make: *** [cli-darwin-server] Error 1

🔮 Additional context

Root cause appears to be build tags:

cmd/serve.go calls both functions unconditionally.
cmd/serve_windows.go only builds on windows && !noserver.
cmd/serve_unix.go only builds on linux || dragonfly || freebsd || netbsd || openbsd (Darwin missing).

This likely regressed when Windows service support was introduced (commit 6d5cc6ae).

Hi! I just ran into this.

I've been working around it locally by adding || darwin to the build constraint in cmd/serve_unix.go:

-//go:build linux || dragonfly || freebsd || netbsd || openbsd
+//go:build linux || dragonfly || freebsd || netbsd || openbsd || darwin

I've been running the server for a couple hours on the default configuration.
Both web and phone notifications triggered as usual, and no errors on server logs.
Nothing indicating breakage so far!

Thanks for this superb project!
