Research direction

Reproduce the Windows 11 sequence: run the Lichess Local Engine, use it from lichess analysis, suspend and resume the computer, then try analysis again. Start by tracing how the local engine process and analysis connection are managed across system sleep; done means the engine responds to analysis after wake without requiring a restart.
