+These are off by default. The rest of the constellation (collector, correlator, prober, mutator) always runs as standalone processes — `decnet deploy` supervises them through a small process registry in `decnet/cli.py::_service_registry`, which respawns any unit that dies. Embed mode exists only for the profiler and the sniffer, which are the two workers cheap enough to live in-process during dev.
