/**
 * The Minesweeper session: a virtual display, one Windows game on it, and x11vnc serving that display over
 * a private unix socket.
 *
 * ── The sidecar owns these processes ──
 *
 * They are spawned as its children, so PM2's tree-kill reaches them and a `pm2 restart officer-minesweeper`
 * genuinely restarts the session. The version this replaced had the PLATFORM spawn a detached shell script:
 * the game outlived every platform restart, nothing supervised it, and a crashed run left wine processes
 * holding the prefix so the next start hung rather than failed. That last one was diagnosed the hard way —
 * four `winedevice` processes survived a stop that reported success.
 *
 * ── Stopping wine properly ──
 *
 * Killing the game is not enough: `wineserver` and `winedevice` outlive it and keep the prefix locked. The
 * script this replaces reached for `pkill -f wineserver`, which would also kill every OTHER wine prefix on
 * the machine — someone's actual application, killed by a game of Minesweeper. `wineserver -k` with
 * `WINEPREFIX` set is the scoped equivalent and is what wine provides for exactly this.
