  "summary": "Implements follow-up suggestions from the cross-platform IPC support PR (#35084). It changes `ipc::Process::checkSpawned()` to return `std::optional<mp::SocketId>` instead of a boolean with an out-parameter, renames the internal argument `-ipcfd` to `-ipcchild` to reflect non-FD platforms like Windows, and adds unit tests for process argument parsing.",
  "problem": "The `checkSpawned()` method used a pre-C++17 signature with an out-parameter, lacked unit test coverage for argument parsing edge cases, and used the name `-ipcfd` which was misleading on platforms like Windows that use named pipes instead of file descriptors.",
