loadavg-watch

# Description

loadavg-watch (cpp-loadavg-watch) is a system load monitor written in C++23 with no external dependencies. It reads /proc/loadavg for the 1, 5 and 15 minute averages and computes the per-core ratio. It shows a process breakdown (running, sleeping, stopped, zombie) and memory usage (available, buffers, cached, dirty). Watch mode refreshes on a configurable interval and tracks deltas. --snapshot writes JSON for scripts. --selftest covers the parser and a live /proc read. Color thresholds follow per-core load. Zero deps: g++ -std=c++23 -O2 -Wall -Wextra.
