-/**
- * @file One running encoder: its process, the stretch it was given, where it
- * has got to, and how it ended.
- *
- * Until now a run was ten fields on a session — the process, the run state, the
- * directory, the start and end numbers, a generation counter, the superseded
- * processes, the run number, its label, its argument list — and there could be
- * exactly one of them, because there was nowhere to put a second. It is an
- * object here so that an output can have as many as the machine affords, and so
- * that a run belongs to a STRETCH of an output rather than to a viewer.
- *
- * **The identity check disappears with the fields.** Every handler used to open
- * with "is this still the session's process", because a replaced run's exit
- * would otherwise write the session's error, its state and its failure tally —
- * one set of fields for however many processes had lived. A run writes its own
- * state and nothing else's, so a predecessor dying after its replacement has
- * spawned can no longer be mistaken for the current run failing. That mistake
- * cost a hardware encoder: on any host with one, every seek downgraded the
- * proxy to libx264 for good.
- *
- * **A run has an end.** Neither `-to` nor `-t` appeared anywhere in the
- * arguments this proxy built, so every run went until something killed it from
- * outside. Given an end it finishes by itself, and two runs on one output
- * cannot write over each other because their stretches do not overlap.
- *
- * **Every start and every end is recorded, with its cause** (required by the
- * user 2026-09-04, because abnormal endings are frequent here). Exactly one
- * ending is normal: the run reached the end of the stretch it was given and
- * exited by itself. Every other ending, our own kill included, is abnormal and
- * says so — with the code, the signal, how far it got, how long it lived, and
- * what was cleared up after it.
- *
- * **Nothing here decides anything.** Where a run belongs, whether it should be
- * moved and whether it should exist at all are `EncodePlan`'s, from numbers.
- * What to do about an ending — fall back to software, wait for the input to
- * come back, stop retrying a position that keeps failing — belongs to whoever
- * owns the output. This carries a decision out and reports what happened.

+ * @file One running encoder: its process, the stretch it was given, where it
+ * has got to, and how it ended.
+ *
+ * Until now a run was ten fields on a session — the process, the run state, the
+ * directory, the start and end numbers, a generation counter, the superseded
+ * processes, the run number, its label, its argument list — and there could be
+ * exactly one of them, because there was nowhere to put a second. It is an
+ * object here so that an output can have as many as the machine affords, and so
+ * that a run belongs to a STRETCH of an output rather than to a viewer.
+ *
+ * **The identity check disappears with the fields.** Every handler used to open
+ * with "is this still the session's process", because a replaced run's exit
+ * would otherwise write the session's error, its state and its failure tally —
+ * one set of fields for however many processes had lived. A run writes its own
+ * state and nothing else's, so a predecessor dying after its replacement has
+ * spawned can no longer be mistaken for the current run failing. That mistake
+ * cost a hardware encoder: on any host with one, every seek downgraded the
+ * proxy to libx264 for good.
+ *
+ * **A run has an end.** Neither `-to` nor `-t` appeared anywhere in the
+ * arguments this proxy built, so every run went until something killed it from
+ * outside. Given an end it finishes by itself, and two runs on one output
+ * cannot write over each other because their stretches do not overlap.
+ *
+ * **Every start and every end is recorded, with its cause** (required by the
+ * user 2026-09-04, because abnormal endings are frequent here). Exactly one
+ * ending is normal: the run reached the end of the stretch it was given and
+ * exited by itself. Every other ending, our own kill included, is abnormal and
+ * says so — with the code, the signal, how far it got, how long it lived, and
+ * what was cleared up after it.
+ *
+ * **Nothing here decides anything.** Where a run belongs, whether it should be
+ * moved and whether it should exist at all are `EncodePlan`'s, from numbers.
+ * What to do about an ending — fall back to software, wait for the input to
+ * come back, stop retrying a position that keeps failing — belongs to whoever
+ * owns the output. This carries a decision out and reports what happened.
