fix(dub): retain process registrations made during cancellation

[rudycelekli]

Summary

A process registered while cancellation is killing its earlier snapshot can be removed by the final whole-job registry deletion. A later abort can no longer find that still-running subprocess.

Changes

• Remove only the processes in the cancellation snapshot and retain registrations made while the kill was in progress.
• Add focused regressions and update the relevant documentation and changelog.

Type

• 🐛 Bug fix

Testing

• Hosted CI audit at 2026-10-06T12:35:20.584679+00:00: no failing latest checks; required CLA passes. Some checks remain pending; no all-green claim.

• A real Python subprocess and a synchronized kill callback reproduce the interleaving. The later subprocess stays registered and is killed by the next abort; completed-process and idempotence controls pass.

• Regression against unchanged main production source: 1 failed, 1 passed. After the fix: 2 passed; 15 with changelog gate.

• Python 3.13 with HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1 and an empty Hugging Face cache. No model download or inference calls.

• Diff check and Python compilation pass.

• Full backend/Electron suites were not run locally; focused tests alone do not establish hosted security or platform gates. Hosted results are reported separately below.

Review follow-up verification

• Both registry tests resolve the application module at runtime. Using the suite’s actual package-purge helper after test collection reproduced the stale alias before the follow-up; the current module receives the native subprocess registration afterward. The two native registry tests plus thirteen changelog tests pass (15 total). Production behavior is unchanged by this test-only follow-up.

Checklist

• I've tested this locally
• Every commit author has signed the CLA — registered signature and required CLA status verified
• I've updated relevant documentation
• No local machine paths, logs, or personal env details in this PR
• Maintained version files are in sync — no version bump
• Runtime regression fixture still loads green on smoke-matrix CI — not run locally

Closes #2632

• Updates the dubbing documentation and changelog.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Cancellation cleanup now retains subprocesses registered while an earlier process is being killed. A later stop can target those subprocesses. Tests cover concurrent registration and repeated cancellation.

Changes

Subprocess cancellation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Retain subprocesses added during cancellation backend/services/proc_registry.py, tests/test_proc_registry.py, docs/electron-dubbing.md, CHANGELOG.md	kill_job_procs removes only processes from its initial cancellation snapshot and retains the job entry when other processes remain. Tests cover concurrent registration and repeated cancellation. Documentation and the changelog describe the safeguard.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 14.29% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 7 functions across 2 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Full details: Cross-Platform Default Parity

Explanation

The change affects default dubbing cancellation and is not behind an opt-in. The changed registry logic uses shared Python locking and list operations without platform branches, but the new subprocess regression runs in the Linux-only test job; the macOS and Windows smoke jobs do not run it. The available evidence does not verify behavior on all three platforms or show a platform divergence.
