process/ — child-process manager capability family

The shared home for spawning managed child-process groups: fully-specified spawn specs, bounded tail-keep output with spill files, credential-scrubbed environments, offset-based incremental reads, and SIGTERM→grace→SIGKILL group kills. Command defaulting, shell semantics, deadlines, and presentation stay with consumers — the bash executor family is the first and owning consumer. See the process-manager seam Agent Note.

Package	ctx key	Role
process (@deepseek-ai/dsh-process)	ctx.processes	The seam: abstract ProcessManager.spawn(spec), the fully-explicit ProcessSpawnSpec, ProcessHandle with offset-based readers, and the shared DSH_* managed-environment and CollectedOutput vocabulary
process-local (@deepseek-ai/dsh-process-local)	—	The local implementation: detached process groups, tail-keep truncation with bounded private spill files, the credential scrub and DSH_* merge order, kill escalation, and kill-and-join disposal

The manager owns process lifetime across consumer reloads; consumers own what a process means (a bash command, a future non-shell runner) and every default that shapes one.
