Summary

Case study analysis for understanding why the solve.mjs process was terminated unexpectedly.

Key Findings

  1. Root Cause: The solve.mjs process received a SIGTERM signal (signal 15) from an external source after ~36 minutes of execution.

  2. Exit Code Clarification: The exit code 144 mentioned in the log came from the bun test subprocess (128 + 16 = signal 16), not from solve.mjs itself.

  3. Termination Sequence:

    • 20:06:14.681Z - Cleanup function triggered (SIGTERM received)
    • 20:06:14.875Z - Last TaskOutput result received (exit code 144 from bun test)
    • 20:06:14.976Z - "Terminated" message logged, process exits
  4. Work in Progress: At termination time, the AI was actively running tests to verify fixes for issue When hive.mjs executes solve.mjs actual commands with ./solve.mjs ... should be logged #131 (Agent CLI stderr/stdout output issue).

Files Added

  • docs/case-studies/issue-1171/analysis.md - Comprehensive analysis document with timeline, root cause, and recommendations
  • docs/case-studies/issue-1171/original-log.txt - Complete original log (13,956 lines) preserved from Gist

Recommendations

  1. Investigate SIGTERM source - Check for external timeouts, parent process configuration, or system-level process managers
  2. Add signal source logging - Enhance exit handler to log more context when receiving signals
  3. Implement graceful test interruption - Allow in-progress tests to complete when termination is requested
  4. Session resume capability - The session can be resumed using the preserved session ID

@konard konard self-assigned this Jan 23, 2026
- Downloaded and preserved original log (13,956 lines) from Gist
- Created comprehensive timeline reconstruction of termination events
- Identified root cause: SIGTERM signal received from external source
- Documented exit code 144 was from bun test subprocess, not solve.mjs
- Added recommendations for improved signal handling and logging
- Included signal reference table and related resources

Key finding: The solve.mjs process was gracefully terminated by SIGTERM
after ~36 minutes of execution while the AI was actively working on
fixing issue #131 (Agent CLI stderr/stdout issue).
