"""deleted_exe — a process running from a deleted or memfd-backed binary.
Fileless malware unlinks its dropper (or runs straight from ``memfd``) so there
is nothing on disk to scan. The kernel still labels the ``/proc/<pid>/exe``
symlink ``(deleted)`` or ``memfd:``. Normal-path deleted exes (a daemon still
running after a package upgrade) are ignored — only attacker-controlled/fileless
locations alert.
