What
After an MCP server process is killed, the request that cancels its leftover task now carries a timeout instead of running unbounded.
Details
- Applied on every cancel through this path.
Evidence
cancelTask(c, { signal: AbortSignal.timeout(oce) }), AbortSignal.timeout(oce)
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
