forgejo-mcp-broker/internal/supervisor/supervisor.go

// Package supervisor manages a single long-running stdio subprocess on the
// broker's behalf — typically `forgejo-mcp --transport stdio`, but the
// implementation is protocol-agnostic.
//
// Lifecycle: Start spawns the child and wires three pipes (stdin/stdout for
// JSON-RPC, stderr drained line-by-line into a caller-supplied callback).
// A goroutine calls cmd.Wait so the kernel reaps the process — without it
// you collect zombies. Stop SIGTERMs the child, waits a grace period, and
// escalates to SIGKILL only if the child refuses to exit.
//
// The package owns no protocol knowledge. Bridge code (phase 4) writes
// newline-framed JSON-RPC messages to Stdin and reads them back from
// Stdout; this package never inspects them.
