The merged daemon now unlinks its socket on the ways out it does not
control as well as the one it does: an atexit for exit(3), which is what a
runtime trap takes, and by hand in die_now and in main's fallback, which
are _exit and skip the chain on purpose.
The client says so too. A refusal on a path that exists is a leftover, not
a daemon declining, and the raw 'Connection refused' has now misdirected
two investigations.
Separately, and it is separate: dev-repl.flan gets dev-robust.flan's
24000-tick budget. Twenty seconds of program under a two-minute test is a
second flake waiting its turn, and it is not the one fixed above -- that
one fails honestly, saying the program exited.
