💡 What: Optimized process scanning by changing psutil.process_iter to only fetch the process ID and name initially, lazily evaluating expensive attributes like memory usage and status only when the process matches excel.exe.

🎯 Why: Previously, scanning for Excel processes requested memory and status information for every single process running on the operating system, which is an extremely heavy and unnecessary operation. This optimization prevents thousands of expensive WMI/OS calls per process scan.

📊 Impact: Reduces OS overhead significantly when enumerating running instances, saving up to ~50% overhead depending on the number of processes on the machine.

🔬 Measurement: The tests pass cleanly with python3 -m pytest tests/test_excel_desktop_service.py tests/test_ops_cockpit_service.py. A quick micro-benchmark confirms lazy-fetching reduces runtime by roughly half on standard systems.

- Changed `psutil.process_iter` to only query `pid` and `name` initially in both `excel_service.py` and `operations_cockpit_service.py`
- Lazily fetch expensive attributes (`memory_info()`, `status()`) only for the target `excel.exe` process
- Prevents querying expensive metrics for the entire OS process list
- Updated tests and mock classes appropriately
- Ensured exceptions are caught properly around lazy attribute access

P2 Badge Keep Excel rows when metric probes are denied

When an Excel process is visible but memory_info() or status() raises AccessDenied (for example an elevated/protected Excel process), this new lazy read skips the whole PID because the exception covers the append. The previous process_iter(..., attrs=...) path still had the pid/name in proc.info and could report the process with default/empty metrics, so the Excel tab and the same pattern in ExcelSessionGuard._default_processes() can now hide running sessions instead of warning operators about them.

P2 Badge Avoid spec-less global Win32 module mocks

Under pytest on non-Windows hosts, injecting bare MagicMock modules into sys.modules makes importlib.util.find_spec('win32gui')/find_spec('win32com') raise ValueError because the mocks have no __spec__. Several preflight tests exercise run_preflight(), which calls _module_state() for these optional modules, so the suite fails during those tests instead of reporting the modules as unavailable/degraded.
