Adam Roses Wight

Worked on the elixir-lang/elixir repository to clarify documentation regarding child process behavior when a parent VM terminates. Focused on technical writing and documentation skills, the update replaced the term 'zombie' with 'orphan' to better align with virtual machine lifecycle terminology and refined the explanation of how to detect parent termination. This doc-only change, implemented in Elixir, addressed developer confusion and improved onboarding by providing clearer guidance and terminology. The work was linked to issue #14271 for traceability, demonstrating a precise, low-risk approach to documentation maintenance that supports both developer understanding and ongoing project support efficiency.
