Research direction

Start by tracing how zinit handles the stop operation for a zprocess launched from a Bash script, including whether child processes are tracked. Confirm the behavior with a small parent-and-child process example, then document whether stopping the zprocess also stops its children.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

if we run a zprocess e.g. in a bash file which runs a process inside, if we call stop do we kill the process and all its children?
