+/// @file test_room_process_invalidation.cpp
+/// @brief Linux integration repro for server-driven room invalidation at process exit.
+///
+/// Reproduces the user-reported shutdown path: a C++ client joins a room, the server
+/// invalidates the session (duplicate identity), and the client process exits without
+/// calling Room::disconnect() or livekit::shutdown(). On glibc/Linux, heap corruption
+/// during thread teardown can surface as:
+///   SIGABRT: tcache_thread_shutdown(): unaligned tcache chunk detected
