docs: mark links/trap_exit (#3) done; refresh supervisor + README
- task.md: mark roadmap #3 done (record the resolved dedicated-inbox decision + test list), add the feature commit to the resume block, note the now-resolved trap_exit channel question, and list spawn_link under #5. - supervisor.rs: the module comment predated cancellation; rewrite it to say sibling/link/shutdown stops are cooperative (request_stop), not that one_for_all / rest_for_one / links are impossible. - README: add monitor + link rows, refresh the supervisor row and src layout, and drop restart-intensity caps from "what's not here" (shipped in #2).

### 3. Links + trap_exit ✅ DONE (`6581484`)
|

- `Slot.links: Vec<Pid>` (bidirectional); `link`/`unlink`; `trap_exit()` flag

lives on `Actor` (fresh per spawn → a restarted child starts un-trapped, and

||||
no fourth slot-reset site).
|
||||
- On finalize, reverse links are cleared under the lock (always — keeps the
|
||||
cascade acyclic), then for each linked peer: abnormal death (`Panic`/
|
||||
`Stopped`) → `request_stop(peer)` unless peer traps, in which case deliver an
|
||||
`ExitSignal` *message* instead. Normal exit does NOT propagate. Linking an
|
||||
already-dead pid delivers an immediate `NoProc` signal (message if trapping,
|
||||
else `request_stop(self)` — not a silent no-op).
|
||||
- Resolved: the trap inbox is a **dedicated** channel (`trap_exit() ->
|
||||
Receiver<ExitSignal>`), distinct from the monitor `Down` channel; `ExitSignal`
|
||||
reuses `DownReason` and carries no panic payload (joiner-only, as with
|
||||
monitors). `spawn_link` deferred to #5.
|
||||
- Tests (`tests/link.rs`): linked pair one panics → other stopped (+Drop ran);
|
||||
trap_exit → other gets a message and survives; normal exit doesn't propagate;
|
||||
dead-pid link stops a non-trapper / messages a trapper; `unlink` prevents

propagation.
