ram-consumption-verification

You can verify RAM consumption by measuring system memory before and after forceful termination using pkill, utilizing htop in a tmux session for accurate real-time measurement instead of standard ps.

Htop in tmux provides better memory measurement than ps by offering real-time, system-wide memory reporting that overcomes the limitations of static ps or top outputs during process debugging.

Yes, you need htop and tmux installed to measure process memory usage this way, as the verification relies on running htop inside a tmux session and requires knowing the agent's suffix for session naming.

The best way to confirm RAM usage of a suspected memory leak is to measure system memory before and after forceful process termination using pkill -9, comparing htop readings to establish ground truth.

To forcefully terminate processes by pattern for memory testing, use pkill -9 with the target pattern or PID, then compare memory readings from the htop tmux session before and after termination.

You should clean up the tmux session immediately after completing RAM measurement to free system resources, ensuring the htop monitoring session used for verification does not skew memory readings.
