What does this PR do?

Describe the changes: a failing verdict now survives stdout EPIPE instead of being forced to exit 0.

Design. The guard can't see the verdict, and index.ts sets process.exitCode only after an async telemetry flush, so any exit taken inside the guard races it. The disarmed branch therefore no longer exits. It lets the command settle; when the event loop drains, the process exits with whatever code index.ts set. That is 1 for a failed run, and 0 (not 141) for a clean result.

It also arms one unref'd backstop (INTERRUPT_EXIT_BACKSTOP_MS, 3 s, above the 1 s telemetry bound). The backstop fires only if something keeps the process alive, such as an idle prompt or a stdout drain that never comes. It then exits with the code set so far, falling back to 0.

The armed branch is unchanged. brokenPipe() still aborts through the shutdown signal, so a command that is still polling stops promptly and tunnel teardown runs. A verdict thrown after that, like the tunnel run's CLIError, still owns the exit code; a new test pins this.

Changes are limited to interrupt.ts. No command implementation, exit-code value, flag or dependency changes.

Notes for reviewers

Tests (interrupt.test.ts):

• Disarmed EPIPE with a failing verdict set afterwards: exits 1. Fails on main, which calls exit(0) immediately.
• Disarmed backstop: armed once, unref'd, 3 s. Fails on main.
• Existing success case: still exits 0, now through the backstop. A non-numeric code also falls back to 0.
• Armed EPIPE followed by a failing verdict: the guard never exits or overrides the code.

End-to-end, using the built CLI against a mock API with a 300 KB failed run: test wait run_1 --output json | head -c 100 and | grep -m1 exit 0 on main and 1 with this PR. A passed run behind head still exits 0.

Full suite: 4802 passed, 90.08% statements.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved handling of broken-pipe errors so commands can preserve their existing exit status.
  • Added a three-second fallback to prevent commands from hanging, while defaulting to a successful exit when no numeric status is available.
  • Coordinated shutdown behavior remains unchanged for active interrupt scopes.

Walkthrough

The broken-pipe guard no longer exits immediately with code 0 when stdout emits EPIPE in a disarmed scope. It waits for a 3-second unref’ed backstop, then uses the current numeric exit code or defaults to 0. Armed scopes retain coordinated shutdown.

Changes

EPIPE exit-code handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Preserve the command exit code src/lib/interrupt.ts, src/lib/interrupt.test.ts	BrokenPipeDeps supports injected timer and exit-code providers. Disarmed EPIPE handling arms one unref’ed backstop and exits with the current numeric code when it fires, or 0 if the value is nonnumeric. Tests cover repeated EPIPE events, later failing verdicts, and armed-scope handling.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c4177

Failing runs piped into an early-closing reader should now keep their failure exit status. The armed EPIPE path lacks a command-level test for the final exit status. This is a bounded follow-up and does not block merging.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #489 requires stdout EPIPE handling to preserve failed verdicts for disarmed and armed lifetimes, keep successful runs at exit 0, retain cleanup, and add focused tests without a new dependency or flag. src/lib/interrupt.ts now defers disarmed exit handling and uses a single unref'd 3-second backstop that reads the current exit code. The armed path still calls shutdown.brokenPipe(). src/lib/interrupt.test.ts covers a later failing verdict, clean success, backstop behavior, nonnumeric fallback, and an armed failing-verdict case.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #489. Production changes are limited to broken-pipe handling and its injectable timer and exit-code dependencies in src/lib/interrupt.ts. Test changes in src/lib/interrupt.test.ts directly verify the required behavior. No unrelated command, flag, dependency, or exit-code taxonomy changes are shown.

Assert the final exit status on an armed wait path.

The armed test does not exercise a command-level wait or observe the final exit status. It only verifies that the guard requests shutdown.

Use an armed local/tunnel test run --wait or test rerun --wait path with a failed terminal verdict, then assert exit code 1. Do not use standalone test wait with EPIPE during polling. That path aborts before the terminal verdict and reaches src/index.ts with BrokenPipeInterruptError.exitCode === 0.

For comparison, end-to-end with the built CLI against a mock API returning a failed run with a 300 KB error string:

build	test wait run_1 --output json | head -c 100 (PIPESTATUS[0])
main	0
#590	0
this PR	1

#590 reads process.exitCode inside the guard, but index.ts sets it only after the async telemetry flush, so it is still unset when EPIPE fires and the exit stays 0. This PR defers the exit until index.ts has set the final code, with a 3 s unref'd backstop for an idle process. A passing run behind head still exits 0.
