Research direction

Start at com.singularity.ee.agent.appagent.AgentEntryPoint.main, reported at AgentEntryPoint.java:1127, and trace the Dynamic attach path that calls the Java Attach API. Reproduce the error while monitoring a Java process and inspect why the AttachProvider is unavailable; done means identifying a supported cause and documenting or validating the resulting fix.
