What
Deciding whether a given process is an ancestor of this one now returns three states instead of true/false, so a lookup that produced no usable information is distinguished from one that positively ruled the process out.
Details
The result is only cached when the process start token read before and after walking the ancestor chain matches.
The shell command that walks the parent chain now emits explicit END and FAIL sentinels, so a truncated or failed walk is reported instead of being treated as an empty chain.
Evidence
no-evidence
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
