The Overwatch Helper is a local desktop agent for the Overwatch incident-resolution Chrome
extension. Chrome spawns it on demand via Native Messaging
— there is no daemon and no listening network port. It executes allowlisted diagnostic commands
(e.g. kubectl, aws, git) on request and returns the output to the extension.
The Windows installer is a per-user MSI: it installs to
%LocalAppData%\Overwatchobs\OverwatchHelper and requires no elevation.
