Orphaned `trigger-dev-run-worker` processes were pinning CPU at 100% after the dev CLI exited — stuck in an uncaughtException feedback loop where a closed IPC channel kept throwing `ERR_IPC_CHANNEL_CLOSED` back into a handler that itself called `process.send`. Fix: - `ZodIpcConnection` no-ops sends when the channel is disconnected. - Dev workers exit on `process.disconnect` instead of being re-parented to init. - All worker `uncaughtException` handlers route through a `safeSend` guard so the handler can never re-enter itself. Verified end-to-end: `kill -9` of the dev CLI now cleans up all child workers within ~2s.
