Description

I have a long running process that watches files and runs scripts through `smokestack`, but the process gets killed soon after Chrome closes (https://github.com/hughsk/chrome-launch/blob/master/index.js#L50).

Would be nice for `chrome-launch` to not kill my node process. `firefox-launch` does not have this problem.

Research direction

Read index.js around line 50 and compare the process-lifecycle behavior with firefox-launch. Reproduce the long-running smokestack case, then confirm that the Node process remains alive after Chrome closes without changing the launcher’s normal behavior.
