Research direction
Read the TODO at kernel-src/sys/syscalls/fork.c:101 and trace the fork syscall's failure paths to identify which resources need cleanup. Implement the missing error cleanup and check the surrounding code for the expected failure behavior; the issue does not name a test or define specific completion criteria.
