Scope

What this PR changes, in one or two sentences: the repairs of a post-merge read of the terminal lane's signal handling and shutdown code (Terminal lane: repairs after the cross-family review (gpt-6.1-sol through the packaged Codex lane on OmniRoute), 46 findings checked, 39 repaired #532, Terminal lane final read: 37 findings repaired (signal latch with per-line sweep, tmux shutdown by identity, complete scan, landscape and colour readers) #552). One read-only Claude Opus agent (effort max, no shell) read the merged code and returned 11 findings (3 medium, 8 low, none high); each was verified by a measurement or by reading before it was repaired: the pty probes now end BY a latched signal instead of exiting 128 plus its number (a shell loop goes on after an exit 130 and stops after a death by SIGINT: measured), the per-line sweep observes the spawn guard and the documents state its real coverage (110 of 160 lines with code for alert_probe.py, 123 of 186 for the push probe), an inherited SIG_IGN stays ignored, typing stops at a latched signal, and a third tmux control only the command-line check of the identity can fail.
Base commit: 46365ea8 (origin/main when this head was pushed; the branch was built on 29458b43 and replayed twice on newer mains, the last time under the hot-file protocol of docs/lanes.md because manifests/evidence.json conflicted: main's copy, this branch's two receipt entries and the hashes of its 34 changed files re-registered, the generated reports rebuilt, the validators re-run)
Lane: lane:foundation
Owned paths touched: evidence/artifacts/{terminal-experience-20260928,notification-types-20260929,terminal-lane-cross-family-review-20260930}/ (the two pty probes, the mutant runner, the two tmux probes, their READMEs, four new scripts, the record of the read, recorded/), evidence/receipts/ (cross-family-review-terminal-lane-20260930 rebuilt, terminal-experience-20260928 corrected), docs/decisions/2026-09-28-terminal-experience.md, docs/harness-defaults.md (three anti-pattern rows, one edited), and manifests/evidence.json with the generated reports (hot-file protocol: main's copy, the two receipt entries and the hashes of the changed files). No Gate A frozen file (settings, hooks, launcher, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md) is touched.
Outside git: nothing; the practice repository, ~/.claude, ~/.codex and the gateway are unchanged.
Authorship: written by a Claude Sonnet 5.5 coordinator session, hence the commit trailer. The reviewer is one Claude Opus evidence-reviewer agent; no GPT read was made (the gateway pool's only usable account read 83 of 100 points and the other five read 100 until 2026-10-03/04, so a read would have taken the pool from the other sessions' running waves).

SOTA sources

Martin Cracauer, "Proper handling of SIGINT/SIGQUIT" (cons.org/cracauer/sigint.html, fetched 2026-09-30): a program that catches SIGINT must end by resetting the signal to its default action and sending it to itself; "You cannot fake the proper exit status by an exit(3) with a special numeric value". Measured here with bash 5 in shell_loop_control.py, with a control.
Python signal module documentation (docs.python.org/3/library/signal.html, fetched 2026-09-30): SIGINT is translated into KeyboardInterrupt only "if the parent process has not changed it" (the latch now leaves an inherited SIG_IGN alone); the note on signal handlers and exceptions (kept from the earlier round: the handler only latches).
CPython's dispatch order of pending signals, measured in signal_order_probe.py (ascending signal number).
tmux 3.4 and the Linux /proc interface, as in the earlier rounds (display-message -p '#{pid}', the server's retained command line, the stat start-time field and state).
No code was written where a maintained upstream exists: the repaired files are this repository's own probes and checks; the agent, the verifier practice and the merge tool are the existing ones.

Evidence-class table

Claim	Evidence class	Command / receipt
One read-only Claude Opus agent returned 11 findings (3 medium, 8 low), 236,557 subagent tokens, 27 tool uses, 20 minutes, no gateway pool points	`native_proven` (the client's own subagent record) plus `source_review`	receipt `cross-family-review-terminal-lane-20260930` `data.post_merge_read`; `post-merge-read.json`
A bash loop went on after a child that exits 130 and stopped after a child that ends BY SIGINT; pending signals run their handlers in ascending number	`native_proven` (bash, CPython, a control per check)	`recorded/shell_loop_control.txt`, `recorded/signal_order_probe.txt`
The two pty probes pass 8 end-to-end cases and 8 in-process tests each (the probe ends BY the signal: exit -15 and -2; 110 of 160 and 123 of 186 lines swept, 45 and 50 of them up to the spawn guard, no client started there) and 22 mutant runs (11 per probe, each failing exactly its cases: the spawn guard, the exit-status conversion, an ignored signal, typing) plus the 2 unmutated probes pass all 8 cases	`local_integration` (negative controls)	`recorded/alert_probe_selftest.txt`, `recorded/push_notification_probe_selftest.txt`, `recorded/pty_probe_mutants_alert.txt`, `recorded/pty_probe_mutants_push.txt`
The tmux probes' selftests have three shutdown-failure controls; deleting the command-line clause of `server_identity` used to leave every control green and is now caught (9 checks, 1 problem)	`local_integration` (private tmux server, a mutant)	`recorded/tmux_bell_probe_selftest.txt`, `recorded/tmux_sync_probe_selftest.txt`, `recorded/tmux_identity_mutant_bell.txt`, `recorded/tmux_identity_mutant_sync.txt`
259 unit tests in the five affected modules pass	`local_integration`	`recorded/unit_tests.txt`
An inherited SIG_IGN stays ignored end to end (a probe started with SIGHUP ignored carried on to exit 2; with the default it ended by SIGHUP)	ad hoc native run, not recorded (the in-process case and its mutant are)	none

Decision record

docs/decisions/2026-09-28-terminal-experience.md: the new subsection "The post-merge read of the final repairs" (what was found and repaired, what is documented and not repaired), two decision rows (how a probe ends after a latched signal, the one post-merge read), the evidence row, the updated limits. docs/harness-defaults.md has three new anti-pattern rows (reporting a caught signal with an exit status, describing a sweep's coverage by intent instead of by a count, a control that only the first clause of a check can fail) and the row of the signal-handling lesson now says the probe ends by the signal.

Host evidence

This PR adds no file under evidence/hosts/.

python3 scripts/host_receipts.py validate is part of scripts/validate.py, which passes.

No platform_status change is made from a host receipt alone.

Review

The read: 11 findings, none high. The three medium ones: the probes exited 128 plus the signal instead of ending by it; no case observed the spawn guard (with if True: the sweep still passed); "every line of the resource lifecycle" overclaimed (the dry run reached 107 of 161 lines with code). The eight low ones: signals pending together are ordered by number, an inherited SIG_IGN was replaced by the latch, typing ignored the latch, a tmux control exercised only the process-name clause, a zombie counted as alive, a timeout left a stand-in, a failed exec fell into the parent's code, a stale case count.
Verified before repaired: shell_loop_control.py, a mutated copy the sweep still passed, the unswept-line count, signal_order_probe.py, and tmux_identity_mutant.py reproduced five findings; the rest were confirmed by reading and are covered by new cases and mutants. post-merge-read.json has the row of each.
Not read again: the repairs of this round are checked by the sweep, 22 mutant runs and native reruns and were not read by a reviewer, and no further read is made inside this PR (the bounded-review rule is used up; a read of the merged result is the user's call).
Residuals (recorded in the decision record): the lines after the prompt is typed remain unswept; signals pending together are ordered by number, so the first signal wins one dispatch apart; a kill by pid after the identity check has a gap that pidfd_open would close; SIGHUP is covered in process only; the tmux probes install no signal handler; the selftests exit 0 when end-to-end cases are skipped; a run killed from outside can leave sleep 3137<digits> stand-ins; no Windows Terminal or interactive Claude Code session was run (the bell and focus reports remain unobserved).

…signal, spawn guard observed, sweep coverage stated, tmux identity control) One read-only Claude Opus agent read the merged signal handling and shutdown code of the terminal lane (#532, #552) and returned 11 findings (3 medium, 8 low, none high). Each was verified by a measurement or by reading before it was repaired: - the pty probes now end BY a latched signal (default action restored, then the signal sent to themselves) instead of exiting 128+N: a bash loop goes on after an exit 130 and stops after a death by SIGINT (shell_loop_control.py), as Cracauer's note says - the per-line sweep records whether a client was started before the spawn guard and fails when one was; it states the lines swept of the lines with code, and the documents say what it does not reach - an inherited SIG_IGN stays ignored; typing stops at a latched signal - the tmux probes get a third shutdown-failure control that only the command-line check of the identity can fail (tmux_identity_mutant.py), a zombie no longer counts as alive, the pty.fork child ends with os._exit(127) - timeouts count as failed results and still kill the stand-in; the mutant runner has eleven mutants and eight cases per probe (12 runs each, 0 problems) - record of the read, rebuilt receipt, recorded outputs of 35 commands (Claude Code 2.1.286 scanned: the same 17 notification types), decision record, anti-pattern rows Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <[email protected]>

The coordinator reproduced each distinct issue (13 by execution on the merged code, 3 by reading; no verifier agent) and all 38 are repaired in this one round: - the pty probes' latch stays installed to the end of the process, nothing is flushed before the final kill, the signal is unblocked, and the Enter is written with the handled signals blocked; new cases for a closed stdout, a blocked signal, a second signal after the cleanups and five typing situations - the sweep counts the client's creation (a marked guard and a mutant that must fail through that count), reports a truncated record and kills the stand-in; the mutant runner ends the run on a skipped case and has 18 mutants per probe with exact failing sets - the tmux identity is an exact comparison (command name and socket argument) with a fourth shutdown-failure control and a cleanup control, and a mutant script with three mutants - the shell statements name bash and dash and the condition measured; shell_loop_control.py and signal_order_probe.py are repaired (private temp dir, readiness handshake, asserted exit status, exact expected order, a selftest with two broken recorders) - receipt cross-family-review-terminal-lane-20260930 rebuilt (data.post_gpt_read), decision record subsection and rows, six anti-pattern rows Not read again by a reviewer; residuals are in the decision record.
