//! Process liveness detection for reservation reaping.
//!
//! `heddle agent reserve` is a one-shot command — the CLI process exits as
//! soon as the reservation has been recorded. Holding a per-session
//! `flock` for the life of that process therefore buys nothing: the
//! kernel releases the lock on `exit(2)` long before the next agent ever
//! needs to check liveness.
//!
//! We instead record `(pid, boot_id)` at reservation time and check
//! liveness on demand with `kill(pid, 0)` plus a boot-id comparison.
//! `ESRCH` means the process is gone. A boot id mismatch means the host
//! rebooted and the PID has been reused — the original owner is also
//! gone.
