+// Package watchdog is responsible for monitoring the sentry for tasks that may
+// potentially be stuck or looping inderterminally causing hard to debug hungs in
+// the untrusted app.
+//
+// It works by periodically querying all tasks to check whether they are in user
+// mode (RunUser), kernel mode (RunSys), or blocked in the kernel (OffCPU). Tasks
+// that have been running in kernel mode for a long time in the same syscall
+// without blocking are considered stuck and are reported.
+//
+// When a stuck task is detected, the watchdog can take one of the following actions:
+// 1. LogWarning: Logs a warning message followed by a stack dump of all goroutines.
+// If a tasks continues to be stuck, the message will repeat every minute, unless
+// a new stuck task is detected
+// 2. Panic: same as above, followed by panic()
+//
