Daemon process is the one that does all the network requests, and it looks like all the sandboxed environments use an environment proxy for allowed/disallowed domains using `HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY`. I was a bit suspicious at first thinking that maybe this is not great security-wise, but then learned that this is the deafult behavior pretty much everywhere except for node, and node is considering about turning it on by default. For example, this is the default in curl, python, go, and in popular rust packages like reqwest. The rationale is that, if they have access to your machine, setting this env vars is the least of your concern. For example, see the curl documentation: https://curl.se/docs/tutorial.html#:~:text=SPNEGO%29%2E-,Environment%20Variables
Previously, isProcessRunning used `kill(pid, 0)`, to check daemon is still alive, which returns EPERM in sandboxed environments regardless of whether the process actually exists. This commit replaces this check with a socket connection attempt. A connection failure (either ENOENT or ECONNREFUSED) successfully indicates a dead daemon on all platforms without requiring any signal permission. Also it replaces waitForProcessExit with waitForSocketClose, which polls the same connect probe. Updates validateSession to be async and use the new check, collapsing the separate PID and socket-file-existence checks into a single socket connect attempt.

See also individual commit messages. `--use-env-proxy` was added in Node.js 24, and I added that in #6003 to make sandboxed anvironments work. But the cli now stopped working for the users who has node version that's below 24. This PR adds this flag conditionally if the node version is above that. Note that sandboxed environments might not work for node < 24. But I added a warning log to the users explaining that.

There were two things that prevented us from having a working cli in the sandboxed environments:
process.kill(pid, 0);isn't allowed in sandboxed environments, so this can't be used to check if the process is still alive. Instead, I converted thatisProcessRunningtoisDaemonReachableand used the existing sockets to check if the daemon is still listening that socket (for example with ECONNREFUSED).Also please see the individual commit messages.
I tested both on macOS and Linux, and they seem to work (with some additional config depending on what you use for sandboxing)
