process_subscribe adds an endpoint to a bounded, ref-counted subscriber
table; every death posts the same badge encoding a supervisor's exit
notification uses, equally late, so subscribers observe a fully-released
child. A dying subscriber's own subscriptions are removed first — it never
hears about itself. The VFS is the first subscriber: open handles now
record their owner and are swept when the owner dies, because a service
must never depend on clients cleaning up after themselves
(docs/process-lifecycle.md). Proven by the vfs-client-death scenario.
The kernel records an ExitReason at all three death sites — clean exit,
fault (classified by vector), and process_kill — into a bounded ring
before the exit notification posts, so a supervisor's query never races
the notice. process_exit_reason is gated by the same supervisor check as
kill; runtime.process.exitReason is the stable interface. This is the
input restart policy reads (docs/process-lifecycle.md iron rule 2).
