  Description     : kill the sub-process when the main process exits (library)

 Golang doesn't provide a way for third-party packages to implicitly
 register a callback when the main process exits to do cleanups. If you
 fail to explicitly add proper code in your main to kill sub-processes
 that are created by third-party packages they may keep running after the
 main process exists or crashes.
 .
 Leakless ensures to kill the sub-process when the main process exits.

Need by 'go-rod' used by 'golang-github-sigstore-sigstore'.
