I think the point which has been missed here is that, if Reporter is NOT
running, that only needs to be detected once and and an appropriate message
sent to the user - so the economies of constant checking are unnecessary!

It is sufficient to avoid the 'rotor fall'-ing 'over in a heap'.

All that needs to happen is that, if Reporter isn't available, the user
needs to be informed appropriately.

Then they can restart the process accordingly.

Could it be that people are over-thinking this one?

I may be wrong, but ...
