Why do I need to run the wallet daemon before using the Kaspa CLI wallet?

The wallet daemon must be running before you can perform any wallet operations with the Kaspa CLI wallet. The daemon acts as a go-between: it sits between the kaspawallet.exe program you run for each operation and the Kaspa node it communicates with, relaying your requests and returning results. Without it running, kaspawallet.exe has no way to reach the network. For a beginner, think of the daemon as a required background service — like a bridge that has to be in place before any traffic can cross.
