+Adjust the `tractor._spawn.soft_wait()` strategy to avoid sending an
+actor cancel request (via `Portal.cancel_actor()`) if either the child
+process is detected as having terminated or the IPC channel is detected
+to be closed.
+
+This ensures (even) more deterministic inter-actor cancellation by
+avoiding the timeout condition where possible when a whild never
+sucessfully spawned, crashed, or became un-contactable over IPC.
