The polkit_grant library provides a set of hooks that you implement,
specifically add_io_watch(), add_child_watch() and remove_watch().

The library calls add_io_watch() during the authentication phase when
it wants you to notify it when activity occurs on a file descriptor.

add_child_watch() is called when it wants you to notify it when a
child process exits.

add_io_watch() is implemented using a QSocketNotifier, so that
doesn't require a lot of code. To implement add_child_watch(), about
200 lines of code from qprocess_unix.cpp was copied into the agent
and adapted for this purpose.
