Tianyi Cui f81fcccd93 refactor(subprocess): keep terminate() as the seam's only termination verb
Delete kill(signal?) from SubprocessHandle: consumers stop a process only
through terminate()'s tree-scoped SIGTERM→graceMs→SIGKILL escalation
(idempotent, also driven by the spec's abort signal, a no-op once the tree
is gone). The single-signal verb had exactly one consumer family —
lsp-local — and what it bought there was a private re-implementation of
the same escalation. The internal kill closure stays in spawn.ts as the
dispose ladder's tier primitive; terminate() now routes through it too.

lsp-local collapses onto the seam's escalation:
- LspConnection replaces its terminate()/kill() pair with one terminate()
  that delegates to handle.terminate(). Behavior change: the
  framing-failure path terminates instead of instant SIGKILL, so a
  misbehaving server now gets SIGTERM plus the killGraceMs window to
  flush before SIGKILL.
- ConnectionSpec.pipeDrainGraceMs becomes killGraceMs: one grace, the
  spawn spec's graceMs, drives both the escalation window and post-exit
  pipe draining (the provider already passed killGraceMs for it).
- LspInstance.forceTerminate() drops its hand-rolled bounded first wait
  (LSP_KILL_GRACE) and escalateProcessTree (deleted with its export and
  unit test): the seam's escalation already commits to SIGKILL after
  killGraceMs, so only the unbounded quiescence awaits stay load-bearing.

Tests: kill()-shaped spawn specs become terminate()-shaped or fold into
the terminate() suites (group-wide delivery; the settled no-op case was
already pinned by 'terminate() after the tree died'); tree-survivor
coverage is intact. A stderr-'inherit' disposition test completes the
stdout/stderr symmetry so the scoped subprocess+lsp coverage gate stands
alone instead of leaning on subagent-acp's cross-package runs.

Docs: SubprocessHandle type-equiv block, seam/impl/group READMEs, and the
consumer-migration Agent Note lose the kill(signal?) vocabulary (zh pairs
re-recorded); cordis api/services catalogs regenerated.

# subprocess/ — subprocess capability family
English | [中文](README.zh.md)
The shared home for spawning managed child-process trees: fully-specified spawn specs with Node-shaped per-stream stdio dispositions (raw pipes, inherit, bounded tail-keep collection with spill files), the one credential scrub every harness spawner uses, offset-based incremental reads, tree-scoped signalling with SIGTERM→grace→SIGKILL escalation, and the cooperative dispose ladder. Command defaulting, shell semantics, deadlines, protocol framing, and presentation stay with consumers — the [bash executors](../bash/README.md), the [LSP host](../lsp/README.md), and the [ACP subagent backend](../subagent/README.md). See the [subprocess seam Agent Note](../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-26-subprocess-seam.md).
| Package | ctx key | Role |
|---|---|---|
| [`subprocess`](subprocess/README.md) (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-subprocess`) | `ctx.subprocess` | The seam: abstract `SubprocessService.spawn(spec)`, the fully-explicit `SubprocessSpawnSpec` with per-stream stdio dispositions, `SubprocessHandle` (streams, offset-based readers, terminate/waitForExit/dispose), and the shared scrub + `DSH_*`/`CollectedOutput` vocabulary |
| [`subprocess-local`](subprocess-local/README.md) (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-subprocess-local`) | — | The local implementation: detached process trees, per-disposition stream wiring, tail-keep truncation with bounded private spill files, the `DSH_*` merge order, tree signalling with escalation, the dispose ladder, and terminate-and-join disposal |
The service owns process lifetime across consumer reloads; consumers own what a process means (a bash command, a future non-shell runner) and every default that shapes one.
