Fixes this failure: find and confirm the defunct process is really dead, finish the interrupted configuration with dpkg --configure -a. Use when the exact error or symptom in the title appears. Not for a different error, tool, or a manual process with no such failure.

Fixes this failure: parse needs-restarting output by its exit code and service list properly and reboot only when a core library or kernel actually requires it: a library-only update. Use when the exact error or symptom in the title appears. Not for a different error, tool, or a manual process with no such failure.
Fixes this failure: fix the agent's exit code table: 1642 means the upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service and is a failure for wave purposes. Use when the exact error or symptom in the title appears. Not for a different error, tool, or a manual process with no such failure.

Fixes a patch agent misreading exit code 1641 as a failure and aborting the rest of a wave, where 1641 means a successful install that initiated a reboot. Use when wave logs show 1641 treated as an error. Not for exit code 3010 handling, which means success with a reboot required but not initiated.
