perf: refresh only tracked PIDs instead of all processes#141
Merged
Conversation
Add refresh_pids() method to only refresh specific process IDs instead of scanning all processes on the system. This is much more efficient when there are thousands of processes running. - Add Procs::refresh_pids() for targeted process refresh - Modify supervisor refresh() to only refresh shell PIDs it tracks - Skip refresh entirely when no PIDs need checking Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Problem
The supervisor was calling
refresh_processes()which refreshes ALL processes on the system. On machines with thousands of processes, this is expensive and wasteful when we only need to check a small set of tracked PIDs.Solution
Procs::refresh_pids(&[u32])method that usesProcessesToUpdate::Someto only refresh specific PIDsrefresh()to collect shell PIDs and only refresh thoseTest plan
cargo buildpasses🤖 Generated with Claude Code
Note
Reduces process refresh overhead by limiting updates to known shell PIDs.
