The fleet's 22:09 UK incident (a Mac-side pkill -f <log file name> matched nothing, the roll-everything script lived on and wiped a held box) and the day's two pgrep self-matches are one class. The check flags pgrep -f / pkill -f with a plain literal (every one on a line), any pgrep/pkill on a file-name shape, and ps | grep with a literal; it allows the bracket form, -x, -F pidfile, kill $(cat pidfile), a variable and a full path; 11 banned and 16 allowed shapes in its self-test; 0.15 s over the tree. The 25 pkill -f sp1-gpu-server inside bash -c bodies (which matched the calling bash) are pkill -x; the other 11 literals take the bracket form; prover-socket-check accepts both. Row R in the record; the CLAUDE.md rule names the check and covers pkill and file names.
