Correct both baml.sys.kill references. The API provides only Process.kill(self) for child handles. It provides no free baml.sys.kill function. Do not document signal_group(..., Signal.Kill) as a replacement because it targets a process group, not an arbitrary PID.

Remove or correct the ProcessOptions.detached reference.
The doc comment points users to ProcessOptions.detached. ProcessOptions in ns_sys/sys.baml declares only cwd, env, timeout_ms, stdin, and keep_stdin_open. The example is not reachable today.
📝 Proposed doc fix
/// Group signalling is the reliable way to take down a whole spawned tree:
-/// a child started detached (its own session/process group, e.g. via
-/// `ProcessOptions.detached`) can be signalled as a unit by its pgid.
+/// a child that runs in its own session/process group (for example one
+/// started through `setsid`) can be signalled as a unit by its pgid.📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

…latform() Expose native platform operations through unforgeable capability tokens returned by baml.sys.platform(). Platform narrowing gives Unix hosts access to graceful process and process-group signalling without advertising those APIs on Windows or browser hosts. Linux, MacOs, Windows, and Browser tokens carry opaque native handles so BAML code cannot construct capabilities for another host. Keep portable pid liveness probing as baml.sys.is_alive, with native Unix and Windows implementations. Add native, wasm, and default IO implementations plus focused platform, signalling, validation, and liveness tests.

Issue Reference
No tracking issue — third slice of the process-control primitives discussed with @2kai2kai2 on Discord. This PR has been respun around the platform capability-token design proposed in review.
Changes
platform()returns a host-created capability token. Callers narrow it withmatchto reach platform-specific operations:match (baml.sys.platform()) { let unix: baml.sys.Unix => unix.terminate(pid), _ => { /* explicit unsupported-platform handling */ }, }LinuxandMacOsimplement theUnixcapability;WindowsandBrowserdo not advertise Unix operations.$rust_typehandle, followingProcess/File, so BAML code cannot forge a token for another platform.Platform.unix()/windows()remain convenience accessors. Their docs recommend explicitmatch; optional chaining intentionally no-ops and is documented for genuinely optional behavior only.Unix.terminate(pid)sendsSIGTERM.Unix.signal_group(pgid, sig)sends SIGTERM/SIGINT/SIGKILL/SIGHUP viakill(-pgid, sig).baml.sys.is_alive(pid)useskill(pid, 0)on Unix (ESRCH → false, EPERM → true) andOpenProcess+GetExitCodeProcess == STILL_ACTIVEon Windows.Browsertoken and does not expose process-control capabilities.The previous nested
