+// TestGenerateExitNoreturnHandlers locks in how the noreturn process-exit

+// `int status` argument and never return. ior classifies them as KindNull
+// (FamilyProcess), so:
+//   - The enter handler emits a struct null_event and intentionally does NOT
+//     capture the int status arg (it is not an I/O resource like an fd/path).
+//   - The kernel still exposes sys_exit_{exit,exit_group} tracepoints, so the
+//     generator emits matching EXIT_RET_EVENT handlers, but those handlers can
+//     never fire at runtime because the syscall does not return. This is
+//     harmless: the generator pairs by name, not by observed return events.
