Process Compose Operations

Process Compose is a Go-based supervisor for non-containerized services. Single binary, YAML config, built-in TUI, REST API, MCP server, and proper Windows support. Replacement for PM2/supervisord/Foreman in the local-dev role.

Why not PM2: PM2 5.x has 15+ known CVEs (axios/lodash/tar/minimist transitive npm exposure). PC compiles all deps in at build time with go.sum hashes — structurally resistant to TanStack-style npm worm attacks.

Why not Docker Compose: Container overhead is unnecessary for local Python/Node/Go dev servers running directly. PC gives you health checks, dependencies, and restart policies without the container layer.
