📖About
Zombie Process Watcher is a droid that detects runaway pipeline loops. Its purpose is to identify processes that continue replanning without an effective limit.
📖Usage
Readers would encounter it in the estate’s monitoring work, where it reports suspected runaway processes for review. It detects problems but does not stop processes itself.
📖Purpose
Detect RUNAWAY (zombie) pipeline loops — a plan step whose plan_version has climbed far past the intended replan cap (>100 vs a cap of 5), i.e. a replan writer churning rows with no ceiling even after the initiative is dead.
📖Duties
Every 15 min, scan the plan-step table for steps with plan_version over the zombie ceiling and report each as a hermione_detections 'zombie' detection. Detects only — never terminal-izes rows. Hermione's sweep drains the detection and files the 'Auto-detected zombie process' kill-initiative as Hermione.
📖Constraints
Detective control only. Ceiling is deliberately conservative (100 = 20x the replan cap of 5) to avoid false positives on legitimately heavy-replanned steps. Depends on the initiatives relay (iconnect) and hermione_detections.
