This is to avoid to be in a state where the activity tracker, the task worker or the listener crashed, but the app is still running.

This works by having each task have a drop guard on a cancellation token, meaning that if the task is being dropped, the cancellation token is cancelled, which will cause other tasks to stop as well.
If the service is stopeed that way, it will also use a failure exit code to indicate that the service has been stopped unexpectedly.

Fixes #2625

I guess that's orthogonal to this PR, but is exiting with SUCCESS really the right thing to do if exiting due to a SIGTERM or so?

It's possible the SIGTERM was sent by another process due to an out of memory situation or something like that, but then a successful exit code doesn't necessarily trigger a restart in e.g. systemd by default. (I've had this failure mode with other services in the past.)

I mostly just wonder what the convention is for this.

Hmmm SIGTERM is usually sent when asking for a graceful shutdown. Docker/Kubernetes does that, systemd probably as well
