💡 What: Replaced static array chunking in ProcessMemoryScanner.scanPIDs with a continuous sliding window using an iterator inside withTaskGroup.
🎯 Why: In the previous implementation, the concurrency was artificially limited by the slowest task in each static chunk. If one PID scan was slow, the other concurrent task slots would sit idle waiting for the chunk to finish. The sliding window approach continuously maintains the maximum concurrency limit, drastically improving overall throughput.
📊 Impact: Maximizes throughput and avoids idle concurrency slots during process scanning. It also removes the allocation of intermediate array chunks.
🔬 Measurement: Verify by executing the unprivileged process scan and monitoring the total execution time across varying system loads compared to the previous static chunking.

- Replaced static array chunking with a continuous sliding window using `iterator.next()` inside `withTaskGroup`.
- Prevents tail latency waiting for the slowest PID scan in a static chunk.
- Reduces intermediate array allocations.
