Proc Explorer

# Description

Proc Explorer is a Linux process inspection CLI tool that reads the virtual /proc filesystem and presents detailed information about processes, memory, CPU, and system state. Built in C++23 with CLI11 for argument parsing, nlohmann_json for JSON output, and spdlog for structured logging. Features include process listing with name and state filters, sorting by PID or memory, detailed process view with memory maps, file descriptors and environment variables, system summary with CPU, memory and uptime, and a real-time top-like monitor with configurable refresh interval. Includes full unit test, integration test, and benchmark coverage with Catch2.
