//! Spawn facility trait — how BIFs request process creation.
//!
//! The spawn facility is an abstraction that allows process creation BIFs
//! (spawn/3, spawn_link/3) to request new processes without direct access
//! to the scheduler. The scheduler provides an implementation that uses its
//! internal spawn machinery; tests can provide mock implementations.
