greptile-apps[bot] escalated the identity ladder to a pid AND port both
coincidentally reused by different processes. The definitive terminator
was available all along: the helper serves an authenticated endpoint and
server.json records the token, so the probe now requires a 200 from
/status?token=... over HTTP. Nothing but our helper can answer that,
which closes the entire misidentification class rather than the next
rung. The regression test hosts its responder in a child process (the
probe is execFileSync, so a same-process responder can never accept
while the parent's event loop is blocked; production helpers are always
separate processes).
