### sbt no longer refuses to start when the boot socket cannot be created Failures to create the boot-time io socket used to be misreported: most were wrapped as "sbt thinks that server is already booting" with a stack trace, and non-interactive invocations exited with code 2, while failures to create the socket directory crashed startup outright. Permission or path-length problems with `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` or the temp directory and Windows named-pipe access errors all hit one of these ([#6777][6777]). sbt now probes the socket first. Only a live server answering the probe is treated as another sbt booting in the build (the interactive prompt and non-interactive exit are unchanged, with a clearer message). Any other failure is no longer fatal: sbt continues without the boot socket, whose only job is forwarding boot-time io to early-connecting clients. [6777]: https://github.com/sbt/sbt/issues/6777
