I claimed an emptied tree would report [] and that this was the evidence a stale registry entry lacks (#15549). Running it on Windows 11 showed otherwise: node-pty drops its handle record and closes the job when the shell exits, so a dead tree reports null. Null therefore means unverifiable in the sense of docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md -- no job support, not a ConPTY, or no longer tracked -- and is never evidence that processes died. A caller reading it as proof of death would have been right by accident after a normal exit and wrong on a host that refused the assignment. What the API does add is descendant liveness for a tree that is still tracked, including children that detached from the console.
