Research direction

Start by reproducing proxychains emacs --daemon and the subsequent emacsclient connection, then inspect the C preloader's socket-hooking behavior across the daemon and client processes. Confirm how proxy use differs between the two commands; done means successive emacsclient connections are routed through the configured proxy.
