Research direction

Start at src/Control/Distributed/Process/Node.hs around line 843, where the issue reports failure when spawning with a missing RemoteTable entry. Trace how the Node Controller handles that error and determine the intended recovery behavior. Done means the controller recovers from this spawn error rather than failing.
