These issues and fixes address a bug where the macOS parent-death watchdog incorrectly interprets timezone or DST-related drift in the ps process marker as evidence of parent death, causing live backends to be orphaned. The fixes make the watchdog treat such drift as inconclusive rather than fatal.
