Stop dev process trees when the terminal disconnects

[SpicyMarinara]

Why

The original #5062 fix cleans up detached server/client process groups on SIGINT and SIGTERM, but a terminal disconnect sends SIGHUP. Without a SIGHUP handler, scripts/dev.mjs can exit while its detached pnpm -> tsx watch process tree survives, eventually blocking the next launch with its storage writer lease.

What changed

• Handle SIGHUP with the conventional exit code while gracefully terminating launcher-owned child groups with SIGTERM.
• Add a macOS/Linux lifecycle regression that proves a terminal hangup leaves no descendant PIDs and no health endpoint.
• Clarify the existing [Issue]: Orphaned dev server blocks the next launch with a storage writer lease #5062 changelog entry to cover terminal-disconnected sessions.

The storage writer lease and its concurrent-writer safety behavior are unchanged.

Closes #5062

Automated evidence

• pnpm regression:launcher-update — passed
• pnpm check — passed

Manual verification

• Manually verify closing a macOS/Linux terminal running pnpm dev leaves no Engine server, watcher, or .writer-lease.
• Manually verify Ctrl+C still shuts down both server and client trees.

Manual verification boxes are intentionally left unchecked for maintainers.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved development-session shutdown when the terminal disconnects.
  • Child processes are now stopped cleanly, preventing lingering development servers.
  • Shutdown exit codes now accurately reflect terminal hangups and standard termination.

• Tests

  • Added regression coverage for terminal-disconnection scenarios on Unix systems.

• Documentation

  • Updated the unreleased changelog to include terminal-disconnected sessions.

Warning

Review limit reached

@SpicyMarinara, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 5 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The dev supervisor now handles SIGHUP by terminating child processes with SIGTERM. Regression coverage verifies descendant cleanup and server shutdown after a terminal hangup. The changelog documents terminal-disconnected session cleanup.

Changes

Dev session shutdown

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Signal handling and launcher termination scripts/dev.mjs, scripts/regressions/dev-launcher-process.regression.mjs	The supervisor handles SIGHUP, sets exit code 129, and stops child processes. The regression helper supports SIGTERM and SIGHUP exit codes while preserving Windows handling.
Shutdown regression coverage scripts/regressions/dev-launcher-process.regression.mjs, CHANGELOG.md	A Unix-only regression verifies descendant cleanup and health endpoint shutdown after SIGHUP. The changelog includes terminal-disconnected sessions.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fb7b2

The PR improves shutdown after terminal disconnects, but its new lifecycle regression can wait indefinitely if the health endpoint stalls. The change is otherwise mergeable with owner awareness and follow-up to bound those requests.

post-shutdown flows around waitUntil with AbortSignal.timeout(), passing the
signal to fetch so unresponsive endpoints cannot bypass the wait timeout. Update
the final assertion to reject specifically on the timeout error predicate,
