//
// This used to `spawn()` the server as a child with `stdio: 'inherit'` and then
// fall off the end of the file. That is the orphan factory described in issue
// #80: the wrapper exited immediately, leaving a detached server holding the
// client's pipes, with no signal handlers and no exit relay. Killing the client
// left the server running, and the next launch added another one.
//
// Now we load the entrypoint *into this process* with a dynamic import. No child,
// no relay to get wrong: signals, exit codes, and stdio are the process's own.

// is the answer for anyone whose environment the daemon can't accommodate, and
// the first debugging step when the daemon is suspected.
