Zombie Process -- Dead Projects Still Eating Resources

The project is dead. The cron job, cloud bill, Slack channel, branch, and weekly report remain extremely committed.

Zombie Process inventories abandoned-looking projects, jobs, subscriptions, deployments, automations, branches, and services that still consume money, compute, attention, or risk. It checks ownership and dependencies before declaring anything dead.

What you get

• ACTIVE, IDLE BUT OWNED, SLEEPING, ORPHANED, ZOMBIE, and UNKNOWN classifications
• Owner, purpose, last activity, dependency, cost, and recovery evidence
• A resource-impact summary
• KEEP, WAKE, ARCHIVE, CONTAIN, or PROPOSE TERMINATION recommendations
• Exact backup, rollback, verification, and approval requirements before shutdown

It never stops a service, cancels a subscription, deletes a branch, or archives a repository during discovery. Old is not dead, and byte-identical is not disposable.

Use it when the organization has more recurring machinery than anyone can confidently explain.
