/// One desktop instance per profile, and a way for a second launch to raise the first.
///
///
///
/// Per profile rather than per machine, which decides two things at once. The lock lives in
/// , so a nightly and a release build never exclude each other —
/// they are separate applications by design, ADR 0013 — and two people signed in to one machine each get
/// their own instance. A global mutex would have had to re-derive both of those from somewhere.
///
///
/// Why one instance at all. The cache is a SQLite file with an outbox in it, and the whole design
/// assumes one writer: says so about two machines sharing a profile through a
/// cloud sync client, and two processes on one machine is the same hazard with a shorter path to it. The
/// terminal's loopback listener is the visible half — the second process fails to bind, gets a port of its
/// own or refuses to start a workspace at all — and the cache is the half that would quietly corrupt.
///
///
/// A file handle rather than a named mutex, because the operating system releases it when the
/// process ends however it ends. A named mutex abandoned by a killed process is a state both
/// platforms model differently and neither models simply; an exclusive handle is closed by the kernel on
/// Windows and by the file descriptor going away on Unix, so there is no such thing as a stale lock here.
///
///
/// And a named pipe for the other half, because exiting silently is not an answer. Somebody who
/// double-clicks the icon and sees nothing happen has been told the application is broken. The second
/// process asks the first to come forward and then leaves, which is what every desktop application does and
/// what makes the exclusion invisible rather than mysterious.
