- PR #134482: fix(bot-desktop): degrade unmeasurable process identity instead of crashing

A bug where the bot desktop's Start Screen pane crashes when /proc/stat is inaccessible inside a user-namespace sandbox, leaving orphaned Xvnc processes. Two fixes address tolerating or gracefully degrading when process identity cannot be measured in that environment.
