              client input/output socket addresses.
        with the exception of the rank 0 and colocated engines themselves which
        don't require the second handshake.

        Here, "front-end" process can mean the process containing the engine
        core client (which is the API server process in the case the API
        server is not scaled out), OR the launcher process running the
