What

Killing a background bash task now records a snapshot of it against the owning agent before cleanup, with outcome "killed", no exit code, and the output file path kept, so the output is still reachable afterwards.

Details
  • Skipped for tasks of kind "monitor".
  • Also depends on a runtime check whose condition is not visible from the built code.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
