// Subprocess pool / re-use strategy (Item 2.2):
// We do NOT pool subprocesses. Each LLM call spawns a fresh `claude`/`codex`
// process. Rationale: classification fires once per semantex_agent call, the
// spawn cost (~100-300ms) is amortized against the much larger LLM call.
// Pooling adds lifecycle/auth-refresh complexity that's better deferred until
// benchmarks show spawn cost dominates.

// if an operator bumps the outer to, say, 30 s the inner extends to match.

// read here mirrors the outer exactly.
