swap-watchdog/cmd/force-quit-gui/main.go

// force-quit-gui is a minimal, always-running process killer. It starts
// minimized at login and is revealed by swap-watchdog when memory pressure
// gets critical. Deliberately plain GTK3 (via gotk3) rather than anything
// heavier, so it has the best chance of already being alive and responsive
// exactly when the system is least able to start something new.
