A last-resort supervisor that watches a process tree on macOS and sheds it before the host becomes unusable. Standard library only, no dependencies, one file.
For workloads that fan out into many short-lived, memory-hungry child processes — agent CLIs, parallel builds, batch jobs — where nothing upstream bounds how many run at once. Where a pool offers real admission control, that pool should do this job and this tool should never fire.
Logical word count is a cheap, deterministic, tokenizer-free measure of text length that stays stable across natural languages, code, math, and mixed content, and stays roughly proportional to LLM token counts — while remaining equal to ordinary word count for plain English prose.
It is defined in two rules:

| description | A domain-agnostic reference on building a locally-friendly, portable, thread-safe, NFS-safe, data-loss-safe usage pattern (package/wrapper/adapter) around SQLite — covering the locking/journaling/filesystem background, the session/changeset extension, source-grounded node:sqlite findings, the prior-art landscape, and a validated snapshot-publish and transaction-envelope design with a working prototype. |

Both agents and humans benefit from accurate, maintained documentation. These are brief and general guidelines for humans and agents when writing and organizing code, text files, and documentation.
