I have an example of listening for these new processes running on my machine now [1] and I can see when my desired user process spawns. Though documentation on the API is scarce. It also requires that the executable or user have the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to run.

I doubt anybody will be installing lldb with elevated privileges, and
I would be wary of recommending that. Theoretically, we could
implement that approach and use it in case the user happens to have
that privilege, but I don't believe it's worth it. I think we should
just stick to the polling approach. You should be able to get a list
of running processes with `Host::FindProcesses`.
