When termination throws before sending a signal—as the added terminate-fault scenario does when hasEnded() reads the hostile accessors—this catch proceeds directly to cleanup and rejection, leaving the long-running agent process alive. The probe hides this because it subsequently sends SIGKILL to every spawned child itself before reporting LEAKED, so that assertion only verifies the probe's cleanup. Attempt a direct-child kill through the captured intrinsic here before allowing the invocation to settle.

1753-1788: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low valueConsider extracting the shared negative-path scaffolding.
Both tests mint a parent directory, build an
absentpath, and then assert the same four facts:PROBE_SPAWN_ERROR:in stderr,ENOENTin stderr, the executable path in stderr, empty stdout, and a null exit code. The only differences are thestdioargument and the extra staged-child block in the second test. A small helper would keep the two cases in step if the runner's failure reporting changes.♻️ Sketch of a shared helper

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When the poisoned stdio object's defineProperty trap throws a Proxy whose getPrototypeOf hook throws, evaluating error instanceof Error throws before releaseUnprotectedChild is called. In current HEAD this makes the outer NativePromise reject with the secondary prototype-hook error while leaving the live child entirely unterminated and uncleaned; moving this classification ahead of release therefore launders the original hardening failure and materially worsens the prior behavior, which attempted termination first. Guard normalization itself or ensure release is initiated before any potentially effectful classification.

Purpose
Stacked validation PR for
PR010-HARDENING-FAILURE-SETTLEMENTon protected parent PR #10.This PR is intentionally narrow and quarantined.
It targets:
pr-010/commander-claude-bridgeIt does NOT target
main.It is a sibling of PR #22, not a child of PR #22.
Finding
PR010-HARDENING-FAILURE-SETTLEMENTClassification:
CURRENT P3After mandatory post-spawn dispatch hardening failed, asynchronous termination/cleanup could itself throw before the outer
invokeAgentProcessrejection executed.Under hostile runtime conditions this could leave the caller-facing Promise pending and create a discarded rejected internal Promise.
Repair
The bounded repair normalizes the hardening-failure settlement paths so that termination and cleanup failures cannot prevent settlement with the original hardening failure.
The repair also adds adversarial regression coverage for the relevant hostile-runtime paths.
Changed files exactly:
src/adapters/process-transport.tstests/adapters/process-transport.test.tsNo unrelated files changed.
