alex8088	55239df0ee	fix(dev): improve Electron process signal handling	2026-09-29 23:23:03 +08:00
Iddo Gino	d8e7702dc5	fix(dev): forward termination signals to Electron child (#900 ) Spawn the Electron binary directly in dev/preview mode but forward SIGINT/SIGTERM/SIGHUP from the electron-vite parent to the child, matching Electron's own CLI wrapper (node_modules/electron/cli.js). Without this, Ctrl-C sends SIGINT to the foreground process group once: the Node parent exits immediately (no handler) and the Electron child gets only a single SIGINT. On macOS, an Electron app whose before-quit handler calls preventDefault() and later calls app.quit() can stall in AppKit's event loop in that path. Under a direct 'electron .' launch the CLI shim forwards SIGINT as well, so Electron gets it twice and exits cleanly. Matching that behavior here fixes the hang. Fixes #899	2026-09-29 11:55:31 +08:00
Praveens-Pepper-AI	816c6dac61	fix(dev): exit non-zero when Electron is killed by a signal (#918 ) `ChildProcess`'s `close` event fires as `(code, signal)` and `code` is null when the child was terminated by a signal. `process.exit` ignores its second argument and coerces null to 0, so passing the listener directly reports every signal death as a successful exit. Handle the two arguments explicitly so a signal death exits non-zero.	2026-09-29 10:33:35 +08:00
