🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Close stdin and drain output before allowing disconnected children to finish.
When the client disconnects, handle_exec still owns child_stdin while it waits in child.wait(). A child that waits for stdin EOF can therefore block indefinitely. The output-forwarding threads also stop after send fails, which drops the pipe reader and can cause a child that continues writing to receive SIGPIPE.
Close the child stdin when the reader observes EOF, and continue draining stdout and stderr after the client disconnects. Otherwise, restore termination on disconnect. Add integration tests for a stdin-waiting child and a high-volume-output child.

Nit: the PR title says "flush stderr after listening log for socket readiness visibility" and the commit message says "flush stderr after listening log and don't kill child on disconnect" — but neither of those things happen in this diff. The actual change is improving test infrastructure to detect early server failures during socket-wait polling. Consider updating the PR title/description to match what the code actually does, e.g. "fix: detect early server exit in test socket-wait loops".

Good improvement — polling the child for early exit gives much better diagnostics than waiting for the full 10s deadline.
One thing to consider: child.stderr.take() will only have content if stderr was piped at spawn time. Looking at start_server_process(), it sets .stderr(Stdio::piped()), so this is fine there. But the two e2e tests (e2e_debug_json_logs_commands_and_io and e2e_log_fields_appear_on_every_line) that also call wait_for_socket also pipe stderr — so this works correctly everywhere.
Minor: if the child exits successfully (status 0) before creating the socket (e.g. some misconfiguration), this would panic with "server process exited early (exit status: 0)" which is correct but might be slightly confusing. Not actionable — just noting.

This is a solid improvement over the previous thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(100)) — the fixed sleep was inherently racy under CPU pressure.
The channel-based approach here is thorough: it correctly handles all four cases:
Ok(Err(e)):serve()returned an error (bind failure, etc.)Ok(Ok(())):serve()returned successfully before binding (shouldn't happen, but defended)Disconnected: thread panicked before sendingEmpty: still starting up (continue polling)
One edge case worth considering: if serve() successfully binds but the socket file creation and the sock.exists() check race such that serve() returns Ok(()) (e.g., from a shutdown on another connection) after binding but before this loop sees the socket file, the Ok(Ok(())) arm would fire a false-positive panic. In practice this shouldn't happen in tests since nothing sends Shutdown before the test starts, so this is fine.

Minor inconsistency: wait_for_socket (the subprocess version) sleeps for 20ms between polls, while this in-process version sleeps for 10ms. Not a big deal — both are fine — but aligning them would be slightly cleaner.

Two fixes for jumpstarter-exec test failures: 1. Flush stderr after logging 'listening' so tests that poll for socket creation see the buffered log output on CI systems. 2. Don't send SIGTERM to child process on client disconnect. Previously, the signal handler thread would kill the child when the client closed the connection, preventing output forwarding threads from reading remaining stdout/stderr. Now the child finishes naturally and the main thread reaps it with wait() after output forwarding completes. This assumes well-behaved children that exit on their own (typical for exec commands). Broken/hanging processes will block the reaper, but this is no worse than the previous behavior (which killed them). Fixes e2e_debug_json_logs_commands_and_io and related E2E exec tests. Signed-off-by: Benny Zlotnik <bzlotnik@redhat.com>
umask() is process-global, not per-thread: the temporary umask(0o111) window introduced by jumpstarter-dev#1000 to make bind() create the listen socket at 0o666 could race with unrelated file/dir creation in any other thread sharing the process (e.g. concurrent in-process tests calling serve() alongside TempDir::new()), permanently stripping the execute bit from whatever directory lost the race and causing EACCES on later binds. Bind on a private temp path, chmod it there, then publish it at socket_path via hard_link instead — the socket is never observably at the wrong mode, and no global process state is touched. hard_link (not rename) is deliberate: rename atomically replaces an existing destination, so two serve processes racing to start on the same path could both publish successfully, with the loser's rename silently orphaning the winner's listener (still running, but no longer reachable through socket_path). hard_link fails with AlreadyExists instead of clobbering, so the loser gets a clean "already listening" error and the winner's listener is never displaced. Added a regression test that races two serve processes on the same socket path and asserts exactly one wins and stays reachable. Signed-off-by: Benny Zlotnik <bzlotnik@redhat.com>

Make the temporary socket path collision-proof and remove a stale temporary file before bind.
tmp_path depends only on the process ID. Two failure modes follow:
- Two
serve_withcalls in the same process on the samesocket_pathproduce the sametmp_path. The secondUnixListener::bindfails withEADDRINUSE, so the caller sees "Address already in use" for a temporary path instead of the "another server is already listening" error. - A process that is killed after bind leaves the temporary socket file behind. A later process that reuses the same PID hits the same
EADDRINUSEand cannot start until the file is deleted manually.
Add entropy to the name and unlink any pre-existing temporary path before bind.
