 "verdict": "Race-mechanics-certain from source; live hit deliberately not attempted (statistical window between vfc_refcount++ at vfs_syscalls.c:359 and the read at procfs_vfsops.c:73, impact cosmetic - stale /proc entries only, all procfs ops re-resolve by pid). Two concurrent mounts can both observe refcount==2 and both skip at_exit(procfs_exit); the symmetric unmount gate is :109-110. Prior pack (untested) analysis re-confirmed this pass; fix registers the handler once (flag-guarded, never deregistered - procfs_exit is a no-op with no pfsnodes); compiled in the F40FIX build.",
