The real cause, confirmed across five follow-up commits, was a process-generation race: when Maestro spawns a replacement process for a session, the old process's exit signal could land…
The same instinct — don't let an error go unseen — shows up in PR 1379, where Codex sessions went silent after an upstream compaction failure that Maestro simply never surfaced, and in PR 1307, where a corrupted OpenCode session now offers a fresh start instead of failing forever.
