Notes

The process is spawned using the configuration stored in the profile at the time of this call. Subsequent profile saves update the auto-restart snapshot but do not affect the running process until it is restarted.

Console output is not streamed over this endpoint. For real-time output see the push events in the IPC API or implement a WebSocket layer on top of processManager.
