+pulses and then direct-PID SIGTERM closure: Heartbeat and Self both exited zero,

+RSS stayed 27.79--28.54 MiB; first/last-quarter averages differed by 0.06 MiB.
+Across 991 seconds and 144 Self samples, RSS stayed 26.90--27.73 MiB;
+first/last-quarter averages differed by 0.057 MiB. The aggregate copied state
+oscillated between 7,330,870 and 7,344,497 bytes and returned to 7,332,629;
