The killOrphanedElectronProcesses beforeAll hook used wmic to find all electron.exe processes by path, excluded only process.pid, then killed the rest. On Windows, GPU/network/renderer helpers share the same exe path — they were being killed as "orphans," causing repeated GPU process crashes until Chromium fataled after 6 restarts. Add a ParentProcessId-based descendant check (matching the existing Linux /proc PPid walk) so child processes of the current instance are preserved. Followup to f9635f7 / #51476.
