The treeKill utility used Number.isNaN() on a string variable, which is ineffective for numeric validation as it returns false for non-numeric strings. This created a potential command injection risk on Windows where the PID is passed to exec().

This PR replaces the flawed check with a robust regex validation /^\d+$/ to ensure the PID is a valid numeric string.
