aion_server/control/stop.rs
1//! The stop flow behind `aion server stop`: resolve the pid file, verify the
2//! incarnation, signal, wait bounded, and read the drain outcome back from
3//! the death note.
4//!
5//! The verb signals ONLY a process the record proves is ours — the estate's
6//! kill discipline, mechanized. Wrong-incarnation is a refusal that names
7//! both incarnations and touches nothing; a dead process with a lingering
8//! file is reconciled and reported; a server that exits without writing an
9//! outcome record has that absence reported honestly, never papered over
10//! with a fabricated summary.
11//!
12//! One window the proof cannot close: between the incarnation probe and the
13//! SIGTERM, the verified process can exit and the kernel can hand its number
14//! to a stranger. The verb handles the exit (ESRCH reconciles as
15//! already-gone) but a full pid-space wraparound inside those microseconds
16//! would land the signal on the recycled pid. Closing it needs a
17//! process-handle primitive (`pidfd_open`/`pidfd_send_signal`, Linux-only);
18//! until a piece wants that, the window is named here rather than claimed
19//! away.
