This part is OK.

This is backwards, and the 1st sentence is confusing until you read
the second one.  I suggest to reword like this:

  If this thread group is a @samp{process} that exited, this field is
  the exit code of that inferior process.  Otherwise, the field is not
  present.

The documentation part is OK with this change.
