Mathews-Tom c30c3ab0fb fix(mcp): process-group kill and SIGKILL escalate on stdio transport close
Before: StdioTransport.close() did a bare `this.#process.kill()` — a single
direct SIGTERM to the immediate child, with no wait and no escalation. On
Linux (and other non-Windows/non-macOS POSIX hosts), the MCP server is
spawned detached (setsid, its own session leader) so terminal job-control
signals can't stop it. A detached server that traps/ignores SIGTERM — or a
grandchild it spawns inside that session — survived omp process exit and
was orphaned, re-parented to PID 1.

After: close() runs a bounded, idempotent teardown:
  1. End stdin first (cooperative EOF) so a well-behaved server can exit on
     its own before any signal is sent.
  2. Send SIGTERM: to the whole process group (negative-pid `process.kill`)
     when this transport actually spawned detached on a POSIX host, else to
     the direct child only. A negative-pid signal is never attempted for a
     non-detached transport, since it could hit an unrelated group. ESRCH
     from the group signal means the group is already gone (treated as
     success); any other group-signal failure falls back to a direct-child
     signal.
  3. Wait up to ~1s for the direct child to exit; if it hasn't, escalate to
     SIGKILL (group-or-direct, same rule as step 2) and wait a further
     bounded ~0.5s before returning. Total worst case (~1.5s) stays well
     inside the ~3s MCP disconnect-all budget in agent-session.ts dispose().

`#process` is captured into a local and nulled before the first `await`, so
repeat/concurrent close() calls see it already cleared and skip re-signaling
— idempotent per the existing contract documented above close().

Extracted the signal/escalate logic into an exported `terminateStdioProcess`
(plus a `KillableSubprocess` structural type, decoupled from the stdio pipe
generics) so tests can drive group-signal escalation with an explicit
`detached` flag — `StdioTransport.connect()` ties `detached` to the host's
real `process.platform` via `resolveStdioSpawnCommand()`, so a POSIX
detached session can't be reproduced end-to-end through `connect()` on a
non-Linux dev/CI host, but a real detached process group can still be
spawned directly on any POSIX host to exercise it.

Tests added to stdio.test.ts: detached child trapping SIGTERM escalates to
SIGKILL; a detached parent's SIGTERM-trapping grandchild is only reached by
the group SIGKILL (proves group, not direct-child-only, signaling); a
well-behaved child closes promptly without escalating; a non-detached
transport never attempts a group signal. Extended
test/mcp-stdio-transport.test.ts's existing close() idempotency coverage
with a case where the first close() had to run the full escalation path.

Fixes #5578.

@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent

Core implementation package for the omp coding agent in the oh-my-pi monorepo.

For installation, setup, provider configuration, model roles, slash commands, and full CLI reference, see:

Package-specific references:

Memory backends

The agent supports three mutually-exclusive memory backends, selected via the memory.backend setting (Settings → Memory tab, or ~/.omp/config.yml):

  • off (default) — no memory subsystem runs.
  • local — existing rollout-summarisation pipeline; writes memory_summary.md and consolidated artifacts under the agent dir.
  • hindsight — talks to a Hindsight server (Cloud or self-hosted Docker), retains transcripts every Nth user turn, recalls memories on the first turn of a session, and exposes retain, recall, and reflect.

Hindsight quickstart

  1. Run a Hindsight server (Cloud or docker run -p 8888:8888 ghcr.io/vectorize-io/hindsight:latest).
  2. Set memory.backend = "hindsight" and hindsight.apiUrl = "http://localhost:8888" (or your Cloud URL).
  3. Optional environment overrides (env wins over settings):
    • HINDSIGHT_API_URL, HINDSIGHT_API_TOKEN — connection
    • HINDSIGHT_BANK_ID, HINDSIGHT_DYNAMIC_BANK_ID, HINDSIGHT_AGENT_NAME — bank addressing
    • HINDSIGHT_AUTO_RECALL, HINDSIGHT_AUTO_RETAIN, HINDSIGHT_RETAIN_MODE — lifecycle
    • HINDSIGHT_RECALL_BUDGET, HINDSIGHT_RECALL_MAX_TOKENS — recall sizing
    • HINDSIGHT_BANK_MISSION, HINDSIGHT_DEBUG

Switching backends mid-session is honoured on the next system-prompt rebuild and the next /memory slash command. Existing users with memories.enabled = true|false are migrated to memory.backend = "local"|"off" exactly once on first launch.
