After playing around with the daemon I agree that it plays a little too loose with processes to make this upstream material ATM (groups? shepherd? *shrug*).

To close:

However, this is FUD:

Last, you’d need to send SIGTSTP to the whole process group of the
build, like so (I think, haven’t tried):

Re-reading this I wonder if you misread SIGSTOP as SIGTSTP? The two are not related. SIGSTOP cannot be handled or blocked.

It's possible to *detect*, like one can detect almost anything because, but you'd be going out of your way to do so. I still think the concern is oddly specific & theoretical.

Build processes *could* be using rowhammer to deliberately crash if you're browsing Reddit, too, and who could blame them.

Kind regards,
