Split out of node-26#11. On 2026-09-27, radio-box's multi_rx was dead (it failed to open its SDR), yet /op25/status still said running. _is_running() checks the process group via killpg(pgid, 0), and that still succeeds while the wrapper shell or liquidsoap is alive. Same class of bug as the one fixed in secondary-sdr (b54624e), which switched to Popen.poll().

Impact: the edge dashboard's OP25 status and anything keyed on it (resume logic, C2 view) show a dead scanner as healthy.

Fix direction: check for the multi_rx process itself (or poll() on the handle), not the process group.
