From 3b4c50ead2885e9caef85193b68c12ccdb671ef1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claudomator Agent Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2026 07:28:02 +0000 Subject: executor: document kill-goroutine safety and add goroutine-leak test The pgid-kill goroutine in execOnce() uses a select with both ctx.Done() and the killDone channel. Add a detailed comment explaining why the goroutine cannot block indefinitely: the killDone arm fires unconditionally when cmd.Wait() returns (whether the process exited naturally or was killed), so the goroutine always exits before execOnce() returns. Add TestExecOnce_NoGoroutineLeak_OnNaturalExit to verify this: it samples runtime.NumGoroutine() before and after execOnce() with a no-op binary ("true") and a background context (never cancelled), asserting no net goroutine growth.
