- PR #61408: fix: detect profiled dashboard process during update

Most members describe the same CLI problem: dashboard/serve processes launched with global flags such as --profile before the subcommand may not be detected by status, stop, or update sweeps. A couple of members relate this to stale runtime after update for non-default profiles, including an ImportError report, and several appear to propose changes to process matching.

## TL;DR

- 11 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 3 closed issue(s), 3 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 5 PR(s) closed without merging.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.16`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
