+ * and hard-kills the process when the timeout expires.
+ *
+ * Living in a separate process is what makes a hostile tool survivable:
+ *   - an infinite loop can be killed (it cannot be interrupted in-process)
+ *   - an OOM kills only this child, not the CLI
+ *   - a crash or process.exit() in the tool does not take the CLI down
+ *
+ * This is isolation, not a security sandbox: the child runs with the same
+ * user and filesystem permissions as the CLI. Treat downloaded tool source as
+ * trusted-but-unverified, and prefer remote execution for untrusted tools.
