Claude-Code-Monitor/server/lib/session-liveness.js

/**
 * @file Process-liveness probe for Claude Code sessions. Answers "could any
 * running `claude` CLI process own this session?" by listing live claude
 * processes and their working directories. Used by the hooks watchdog to
 * reap sessions whose SessionEnd hook was lost because the dashboard was not
 * running when the user quit (e.g. Ctrl+C while the server was down) — the
 * only signal that a session ended is that hook, so a missed one previously
 * left the session stuck in Waiting until the 3 h stale sweep.
 *
 * Fail-safe by design: whenever the probe cannot produce a trustworthy
 * answer it reports `available: false` and the caller must change nothing.
 * That covers Windows (no probe implementation), containers (host processes
 * are invisible, so an empty process list would be a lie), missing `ps` /
 * `lsof` binaries, and the DASHBOARD_LIVENESS_PROBE=0 escape hatch for
 * setups where hooks arrive from another machine.
