+ * gh#633: process-liveness probe for the borg-owned codex app-server — the

+ * (checkInboxMonitorHealthy / stream-status.ts:48). Codex drones wake via this
+ * app-server bridge, NOT a tail-F Monitor, so wake_path_client_monitor_armed is
+ * false-by-design for them; the HOP-2 wake-path-deaf classifier mis-read that
+ * as deaf (gh#633). This gives HOP-2 the codex wake path's ACTUAL health.
+ *
+ * Uses the app-server PIDFILE (written at spawn, beside the socket) +
+ * process.kill(pid, 0) — NOT pgrep. The codex TUI is also launched
+ * `codex --remote unix://<socketPath>`, so a `pgrep -f <socketPath>` would ALSO
+ * match the live TUI and FALSE-ARM when the app-server has crashed but the TUI
+ * still runs (the deaf-but-alive case). The pidfile holds the EXACT app-server
+ * pid, so kill(0) reflects the app-server's liveness specifically — and it's
+ * cheaper than pgrep (no subprocess). Mirrors pruneStaleSockets' pid check.
+ *
+ * Tri-state (mirrors checkInboxMonitorHealthy's boolean|null contract):
+ *   - true:  pidfile resolves to a LIVE pid → app-server (bridge) is up → armed.
+ *   - false: pidfile resolves to a DEAD pid → an unclean exit (crash/kill -9)
+ *            left a stale pidfile (cleanup never ran) → bridge down → HOP-2
+ *            correctly flags a genuinely-deaf codex drone (no SLI-lie).
+ *   - null:  pidfile missing / unreadable / unparseable → cannot determine →
+ *            caller maps null→armed (false-deaf-avoidance, same as the claude
+ *            monitor branch). A CLEAN app-server exit removes the pidfile, but
+ *            then the drone is shutting down → the silent-stall watchdog
+ *            backstops it via a separate layer.
+ *
+ * Residual (negligible, gh#633 / Coordinator 6f28fe3f): PID reuse — if the
+ * crashed app-server's pid is recycled by an unrelated process before the next
+ * launch's pruneStaleSockets removes the stale pidfile, kill(0) reports alive →
+ * a brief false-arm. The window is tiny (exact-pid reuse during the crash gap)
+ * and self-heals on the next launch's prune; far smaller than existsSync's
+ * always-on stale-file masking.
