Research direction

The issue names PM2 cluster mode, port binding, inherited file handles, and child processes, but no source file or test. Start by locating the cluster-mode and port-handling documentation or entry point, then document how PM2 obtains the port and prevents conflicts; done means the explanation answers both questions clearly.
