📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds backend-aware LWE PID validation, persistent pool bindings, a configurable watchdog, and an orientation CLI command. The daemon starts the watchdog for enabled pools. Tests cover PID classification, recovery, cancellation, binding persistence, and orientation-related fixtures. ChangesLWE pool recovery

Remove the process-global environment mutation from these tests. The tests can run concurrently, and both set PAPERFORGE_FORCE_NO_SYSTEMD without restoring it. Use an injected spawn configuration or constructor flag. If the environment variable remains, serialize all affected tests and restore its previous value.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Clone does not share watchdog_interval_secs, but the doc says it does.
The field doc states that Clone shares the same atomic, in the same way as active_fps. Line 296 creates a new Arc<AtomicU64> from the current value instead. A set_watchdog_interval_secs call on one handle then does not reach the running watchdog if that watchdog was spawned from another clone. Share the Arc, or correct the doc.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
The watchdog replaces inner without reaping or protecting the previous entry.
Two problems in the success branch:
*guard = Some(PoolProcess { .. })drops the previousPoolProcess, including itsstd::process::Child.Child::dropdoes notwait(), so the dead LWE stays a zombie until the daemon exits. Each watchdog respawn adds one zombie.- The liveness snapshot is taken before the lock is released, and the lock is re-acquired only after
cmd.spawn(). Abind_with_opthat completes in that window installs a fresh, healthy process; the watchdog then overwrites it. The bind's PID is no longer tracked and is never killed, so two LWE processes render at once.
Re-read the state under the same lock before replacing, and reap the previous child.

Fixes a pre-existing flake in `pool::tests::bind_with_op_emits_transition_timing_log` (and its sibling `unbind_emits_transition_timing_log`) that was blocking PR #22, PR #20, and PR #16 from merging under the GitHub-hosted ubuntu-latest test job. Both tests use `tracing::subscriber::set_default` (per-thread) + `cargo test --all` (process-wide thread pool); the captured buffer comes back empty often enough to fail CI. Gating under `#[ignore]` removes the blocker while keeping the test exercised in the nightly + manual-dispatch `realtime (self-hosted)` job. No production code touched.
Follow-up to PR #11 (5s PID reaper + adopt pre-existing LWEs). - pid_state_quick(pid, BackendKind) cross-checks cmdline against BackendKind::LinuxWallpaperEngine's pattern so a kernel-recycled PID (kernel handing the same PID to bash/sleep) is reported as NotRunning, not Running. Defends bind/reconcile/health paths. - LweSinglePool::spawn_watchdog / abort_watchdog public API. The spawned background task polls every watchdog_interval_secs() (default 5s) and respawns LWE from last_bindings when the tracked PID dies or its cmdline no longer matches. Exponential backoff capped at 60s on consecutive respawn failures. - last_bindings (output -> content_id) persistence on LweSinglePool so the watchdog can rebuild the pool after a crash even when inner is None. Cleared only when the operator removes the LAST binding via unbind_with_op, so we never respawn a phantom pool. - Daemon startup path (CLI run_daemon) calls spawn_watchdog() after the pool is constructed. shutdown() aborts the task so SIGTERM exits cleanly. - Test wrappers updated from '/bin/sh; exec /bin/sleep 60' to bash with 'exec -a linux-wallpaperengine-*' so the cmdline cross-check accepts them. /bin/sh on Debian is dash which lacks 'exec -a'. - PAPERFORGE_FORCE_NO_SYSTEMD=1 escape hatch (cfg(test) only) so test wrappers don't get the systemd-run transient PID that the PID-recycling defense would correctly flag as non-LWE. cargo check --workspace --tests: clean. 1353 insertions / 125 deletions across 6 files.

Do not abort a watchdog that can own an untracked child.
The watchdog can be between cmd.spawn() and inner.lock().await. Aborting at that point drops new_child without terminating or reaping the process. shutdown() then cannot find that LWE through inner.
Use persistent cancellation state. If cancellation occurs after spawn, kill and wait for the new child before the task exits.

Persist the reduced bindings before the respawn attempt.
If partial unbind kills the old process and cmd.spawn() fails, Line 943 does not run. last_bindings retains the removed output. The watchdog can then restore the output that the operator unbound.
Store new_bindings before spawning, after the final-binding branch has returned.

Do not use inner reference count to detect the last pool owner.
A running watchdog owns an Arc to inner. Therefore, the count is greater than one when the final LweSinglePool handle is dropped. Dropping the JoinHandle detaches the task, so the watchdog and LWE process can continue indefinitely.
Track external ownership separately and cancel the watchdog before final process cleanup.

Validate the respawned process before resetting backoff.
cmd.spawn() only confirms process creation. LWE can exit immediately because of invalid bindings or a missing Wayland session. The current branch installs that dead PID and resets backoff_secs, so the watchdog retries at the base interval forever.
Apply the cmdline-settle and pid_state_quick validation used by bind_with_op. If validation fails, reap the child and advance the backoff.

Synchronize daemon PID bookkeeping after watchdog recovery.
The watchdog replaces only LweSinglePool::inner. PaperforgeDaemon::get_health reads per_output_pids_snapshot, which still contains the dead PID. Health and reconciliation can therefore report failure after the pool has recovered.
Update the backend PID map for every preserved binding, or make pool-mode consumers derive the PID from inner.

Follow-up to PR #11 (5s PID reaper + adopt pre-existing LWEs).
What
Defends bind/reconcile/health paths against kernel PID recycling (kernel handing the same PID to bash/sleep after the original LWE process exits), and adds a background watchdog task that respawns LWE from the last-known bindings when the tracked PID dies.
Why
PR #11 introduced a 5s PID reaper that adopts pre-existing LWEs via /proc//status State. The kernel can recycle a recently-exited LWE PID to a bash/sleep child before our reaper runs — without a cmdline cross-check, we'd see 'Running' for a pid that is no longer LWE.
The watchdog closes the gap when LWE crashes (OOM, segfault, manual kill) and no bind/unbind call is in flight: the bindings were persisted on a prior bind, so the respawn is data-driven instead of guess-driven.
