+// Local modifications:
+// - Fix Codex bug #13945 in the Windows PTY kill path. The vendored code treated
+//   `TerminateProcess`'s nonzero success return as failure and `0` as success,
+//   which inverts kill outcomes for both `WinChild::do_kill` and
+//   `WinChildKiller::kill`.
+// - This bug still exists in the original WezTerm source as of 2026-03-08, so
+//   this is an intentional divergence from upstream.
