Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the XFS collector and reproducing the failure with Ubuntu 26.04, node_exporter 1.11.1, and XFS; trace why the "xpc" field reaches numeric parsing. Done means the collector no longer fails on this field and regression coverage verifies the behavior.
