<p>This release introduces robust bulk deletion capabilities with safety mechanisms:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bulk deletion</strong>: Added <code>delete all</code> command to stop and delete all processes at once</li>
<li><strong>Status-based deletion</strong>: Added <code>delete <status> --status</code> to delete processes by their current state<!-- -->

<li>Valid statuses: <code>starting</code>, <code>online</code>, <code>stopping</code>, <code>stopped</code>, <code>errored</code>, <code>restarting</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Force flag</strong>: Added <code>--force</code> / <code>-f</code> flag to skip confirmation prompts for automation</li>
<li><strong>Safety confirmations</strong>: Interactive prompts for bulk operations to prevent accidental deletions</li>

<p>Advanced health monitoring capabilities that go beyond basic process tracking:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>HTTP Health Checks</strong>: Monitor process health via HTTP endpoints (<code>--health-check-url</code>)</li>
<li><strong>Script-based Health Checks</strong>: Custom health check scripts for complex validation (<code>--health-check-script</code>)</li>
<li><strong>Configurable Health Parameters</strong>: Timeout (<code>--health-check-timeout</code>), interval, and retry settings (<code>--health-check-retries</code>)</li>
<li><strong>Health-based Auto-restart</strong>: Automatic restart when health checks fail</li>
<li><strong>Monitoring Integration</strong>: Health status visible in process listings (<code>pmdaemon monit</code>) and web API</li>

<p>Optimize monitoring performance for your specific needs:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Library</strong>: Added <code>monitor_with_interval(Duration)</code> method for configurable update intervals</li>
<li><strong>CLI</strong>: Added <code>--interval</code> / <code>-i</code> flag to <code>monit</code> command for custom refresh rates</li>
<li><strong>Performance optimization</strong>: Users can now balance responsiveness vs. resource usage:<!-- -->
<ul>
<li>Fast updates (1s) for debugging and development</li>
<li>Balanced updates (2s) for general use (library default)</li>
<li>Slower updates (5s+) for reduced system load</li>

<ul>
<li><strong>Lifecycle management</strong>: Full control over process start, stop, restart, reload, and delete operations</li>
<li><strong>Process clustering</strong>: Automatic load balancing across multiple instances</li>
<li><strong>Auto-restart on crash</strong>: Configurable limits and intelligent restart logic</li>
<li><strong>Graceful shutdown</strong>: Proper signal handling (SIGTERM/SIGINT) for clean process termination</li>
<li><strong>Configuration persistence</strong>: Multi-session support with persistent process configurations</li>
</ul>

<p>One of PMDaemon's standout features is its sophisticated port management system:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Port range distribution</strong>: Automatically distribute ports across cluster instances (<code>--port 3000-3003</code>)</li>
<li><strong>Auto-assignment from ranges</strong>: Smart port allocation (<code>--port auto:5000-5100</code>)</li>
<li><strong>Built-in conflict detection</strong>: Prevents port conflicts before they happen</li>
<li><strong>Runtime port overrides</strong>: Change ports without modifying configuration files</li>
<li><strong>Port visibility</strong>: See assigned ports in process listings</li>
</ul>
