Package witr: Information

witr exists to answer a single question: "Why is this running?".

When something is running on a system - whether it is a process,
a service, or something bound to a port - there is always a cause.
That cause is often indirect, non-obvious, or spread across multiple
layers such as supervisors, containers, services, or shells.

Existing tools (ps, top, lsof, ss, systemctl, docker ps) expose state
and metadata. They show what is running, but leave the user to infer
why by manually correlating outputs across tools.

witr makes that causality explicit.

It explains where a running thing came from, how it was started, and
what chain of systems is responsible for it existing right now,
in a single, human-readable output.
