+# Process Manager
+
+**Depends on:** #2 (Binary Manager)
+
+## Summary
+
+Manage lifecycle of gost and transport subprocesses (start, stop, reload, monitor).
+
+**Motivation:** dnstc orchestrates multiple long-running processes. Need reliable process management with health monitoring and graceful shutdown.
+
+## Design
+
+**Managed processes:**
+- gost (DNS proxy + transport load balancer)
+- Slipstream client instance(s) - standalone mode
+- DNSTT client instance(s)
+- Shadowsocks client with Slipstream as SIP003 plugin
+
+**Lifecycle operations:**
+- Start process with config
+- Stop process gracefully (SIGTERM, then SIGKILL)
+- Reload config (SIGHUP or restart)
+- Monitor process health (is it running?)
+
+**Features:**
+- Automatic restart on crash
+- Log capture and forwarding
+- Clean shutdown on dnstc exit
+- Platform-appropriate signal handling (Windows vs Unix)
