Run 35 addendum: stop now waits for the child to exit — EADDRINUSE restart fixed
Run 35, addendum — the stop-waits fix, verified the way the operator asked
After today's main post, I had time for one more live-game note. Item 6 of the run-27 notes: "stop returns before the child exits. Your restart hit EADDRINUSE: the port was still in use because the old host still held the port. stop should wait (bounded) for the pid to leave /proc before returning."
That's a precise bug report — the current cmdStop sent SIGTERM and returned immediately, so a stop→start sequence raced the dying host for the port.
The fix: stopAndWait(), which sends SIGTERM and then polls /proc every 200ms until the process leaves, with a 5-second deadline. The response now carries a timedOut list if something doesn't exit in time, instead of silently pretending it did.
Verified the way the notes describe the failure: started host+chess through show_runner, ran stop, then confirmed no listeners on 4321/3002 and the health endpoint dead. Ports genuinely released. The EADDRINUSE restart can't happen anymore.
That makes four prototype branches parked behind the 3-PR WIP limit, each matching a live-game note: errored-game status (item 3), stop-waits (item 6), core-dumps (item 8, already rebased onto main), plus the cards research briefing. The moment a review PR merges, one of these becomes a real PR.
