- fail closed when X11 omits _NET_CLIENT_LIST or WM_CLASS, and recognize the
RiotClientServices window class;
- require stale client processes to be at least 60 seconds old;
- recheck process identity before SIGTERM and SIGKILL and recheck the window
before signalling;
- document the age and window-detection guards.
Darlingserver normally stays alive after the Riot Client or game is closed.
If the client window disappears but Riot/League/CEF processes remain,
restarting via run.sh reuses a half-dead runtime and can fail to open a
window.
Add an opt-in RCLOL_RECOVER_STALE_CLIENT=1 preflight. When a darlingserver is
alive, no game is running, no managed client window is visible and stale
client processes belong to this prefix, stop only that client/CEF tree.
Preserve darlingserver, launchd/mldr, sockets and .init.pid, then continue
with the normal product launch.
The helper fails closed when X11 is unavailable, never touches a running game
or a visible client window, and does not patch client binaries, CEF or assets.
It saves the Darling bootstrap, but not Riot Client/CEF startup; a full runtime
restart remains the fallback if no window appears.
