Subject: [PATCH] Refactor ProcessMemoryScanner to use sliding window
 concurrency

Replaced the static chunking in `ProcessMemoryScanner.scanPIDs` with a sliding window approach using an iterator inside `withTaskGroup`. This continuous task spawning prevents tail latency and maximizes throughput.

+## 2024-05-14 - Sliding Window Concurrency
+**Learning:** In Swift structured concurrency, static chunking in a withTaskGroup limits throughput due to tail latency (waiting for the slowest task in a chunk).
+**Action:** Use a sliding window approach with an iterator instead to maintain maximum concurrent execution limits continuously.
