Clarify behavior in case of process crashes

[NicolasFussberger]

What should happen when a process crashes at runtime?

This open question originated in discussion during the lifecycle meeting on 26/11/2025.

Requirements currently define these supported reactions:

• Switching to a different RunTarget feat_req__lifecycle__recov_run_target_switch

• Do nothing feat_req__lifecycle__process_failure_react

• Relaunching the process feat_req__lifecycle__process_failure_react

• Starting another process feat_req__lifecycle__process_failure_react

• Triggering Device Safe State feat_req__lifecycle__process_failure_react

Open Questions

What should happen to other processes dependent on the crashed process?
Should they be restarted if the crashed process gets restart or should they be left running?
Should they be terminated if the crashed process is not restarted?

Topic has been clarified. Process crash triggers the Recovery Action.
