systemprompt-loader 0.65.0

//! The one sanctioned way to start an agent or MCP child, and the in-place
//! re-exec that stamps the API server with its identity marker.
//!
//! Every spawn runs on one dedicated thread and, where the platform offers
//! it, the kernel is asked to `SIGTERM` the child if this process dies. The
//! parent-death signal follows the thread that forked the child, which is why
//! the spawner is a single long-lived thread rather than whichever runtime
//! worker happened to call: a worker that exits would take its children with
//! it. The thread is started lazily; a failure to start it is returned to the
//! caller and retried on the next spawn rather than cached.

// the process. An environment that cannot be read back (no platform probe, a
// hardened binary) is left unstamped rather than re-executed in a loop.
