Problem

• run({ files, signal }) reports success: true when the signal aborts a file whose child handles SIGTERM and exits with code 0. Node.js reports success: false and one test:fail.
• runOneFile takes the verdict from the exit code of the child (src/js/node/test.ts:565).

Fix

• The abort ends the file, as Node's Test#abortHandler does: one test:fail with signal.reason and failureType: "testAborted", counted as cancelled. The stream ends at once. The runner ends the child.
• A file that did not start takes the same path, and a spawn failure fails its file: neither destroys the stream now. Their test:complete has details with no prototype.
• Verified: test/js/node/test_runner/node-test.test.ts runs fixtures/30-run-signal.js with Bun and Node.js v26.3.0. Main fails 3 of the 4 new tests.
• Self-reviewed: 15 concerns raised, 13 addressed. Rejected: one wait path for all runs (+32 cells per file), a fixture without a copy of the child's line format (no export exists).

Background

• run() starts one bun test child per file and republishes its events.
• Considered && !signal.aborted in success: it adds no test:fail, still waits for the child, and fails runs that Node.js passes.
• node:test: --test CLI mode, node:test/reporters, standalone execution, and reporter-output parity (+18 tests, test_runner 32%→55%) #34515 has another abort model for these lines (test:interrupted): see Notes.

Downsides

• Behaviour change: a file that the abort killed was failed, and one that did not start had a cancelledByParent error. Both are cancelled now.
• The stream ends while the child can still run, so bun test can exit before it.
• A run that never aborts: +5 cells per file (89 before), +37 with a signal. Binary: +1,534 bytes. require("node:test"): +0.35% instructions.

Notes

Reproduction. One file installs a SIGTERM listener that lets its one test pass. The caller aborts when the file prints ready.

// trap.js
const { test } = require("node:test");
let end;
const ended = new Promise(resolve => (end = resolve));
process.on("SIGTERM", end);
console.log("ready");
test("runs until SIGTERM", { timeout: 60_000 }, async () => {
  const limit = setTimeout(end, 60_000);
  await ended;
  clearTimeout(limit);
});

const controller = new AbortController();
const stream = run({ files: ["trap.js"], signal: controller.signal });
stream.on("test:stdout", ({ message }) => message.includes("ready") && controller.abort());

Reach.

• A fuzz run found this. No user reported it, and there is no issue. The first record is a review comment on node:test: run(), expectFailure, and Node v26.3.0 skip/todo semantics #34444: node:test: run(), expectFailure, and Node v26.3.0 skip/todo semantics #34444 (comment)
• The verdict of the run changes only when the child of the aborted file does not die from SIGTERM: it handles the signal and exits with code 0 (main reports success: true), or it runs on (main does not end the stream until it exits).
• When SIGTERM ends the child, main already ends with success: false. There this PR changes the labels: the file was failed with testCodeFailure, and it is cancelled with testAborted and the reason of the abort. A caller that reads only counts.failed sees 0 after an abort now, as in Node.js.
• This is the run() part of Node's Test#abortHandler. The signal option of a test and of a suite is other code (node:test: abort t.signal and enforce the test-level signal option #39287, node:test: enforce the timeout and signal options of suites #39312).

What Node.js does (v26.3.0, lib/internal/test_runner).

• Test#abortHandler (test.js L1058-L1062) takes signal.reason, or a new AbortError('The test was aborted') when the reason is falsy, sets failureType = 'testAborted' on it and cancels the test (L1064-L1077).
• A test whose signal is aborted when it starts does not run its function (L1306-L1309). For a file, that function is the spawn.
• The file test waits for the exit of the child and the end of its stdout, both with the signal (runner.js L557-L560). An abort after that point leaves the verdict of the file, in Node.js and here. The data listener stays on the pipe after the abort (L536-L538). A child error event fails the file (L532-L534).
• Node.js tests the option in test/parallel/test-runner-run.mjs ("should accept a signal"): two files that never end and AbortSignal.timeout(50) give two test:fail events and no test:pass. Bun does not vendor that file. The case is in the fixture of this PR, with the failure types: main gives testCodeFailure and cancelledByParent, Node.js and this PR give testAborted twice, with the reason itself.

Where this PR differs from Node.js on purpose. Each line is from a probe with Node.js v26.3.0.

• Signal aborted before run(), three files. Node.js publishes test:fail for the first file, test:plan 1 and a summary that counts 3 tests and 3 cancelled. It reports the other two files after the summary, and only to listeners: the readable side of the stream never has them. This PR publishes a test:fail for each file before the plan, and test:plan 3.
• A reason that cannot take a property. For abort("stop"), the abort listener of Node.js throws TypeError: Cannot create property 'failureType' on string 'stop'. The file fails with uncaughtException, and the process prints the TypeError and exits with code 1. A frozen error gives TypeError: Cannot add property failureType, object is not extensible the same way. This PR fails the file with an AbortError whose cause is the reason.

Listeners that throw.

• Node.js fails the running file with uncaughtException and goes on (harness.js L164-L165). Bun destroys the stream with the error of the listener, on main and here. This PR does not change that.
• A listener that aborts the signal and then throws, in one call: the stream fails with the error of the listener, as on main. The error is recorded when it is thrown (publishLine), because the reader that called the listener rejects only after it closed its pipe.
• The error of a test:stderr listener waits for the end of stdout, with and without a signal, as on main. Once stdout ended, it ends the run at once.
• One difference from main: after a test:stdout listener throws, the stream fails at once. Main first published the stderr lines of the child that it had not read yet, and then failed.

Smaller changes in the same function.

• The details of test:complete for a file that the signal cancelled, or whose child did not start, has no prototype, as each other details object of the stream and as in Node.js. On main, the details of a file that did not start inherited from Object.prototype. Its keys have the order of Node.js: duration_ms, type, error, passed. For a file that did not start, that is the order of main too. For a file that was running at the abort, it differs from main, which has passed before error.
• A child that cannot start: Bun.spawn throws, and the file fails with ERR_TEST_FAILURE / testCodeFailure and the spawn error as cause. The next file runs. On main the stream failed with the spawn error.

What stays different from Node.js, not changed here.

• An abort in a listener of the test:summary of a file. In Node.js the child still runs at that point, so the file is cancelled. Bun makes that summary after the child exited, so the run passes. The fixture records this as a todo test under Bun.
• A run that never aborts still waits for the stderr of the child to end before the verdict of the file. Node.js waits for the exit and for stdout only.
• A process of the child that holds the pipes keeps the runner process alive until it closes them, on main, in Node.js and here. With sleep 6 started by the test file, the stream ends 6,000 ms after the abort on main, 0 to 2 ms after it here, and 2 to 5 ms after it in Node.js. The process can exit about 6,000 ms after the abort in all three.

Overlap with open PRs. Each of these edits the same lines. By trial merge, #47286, #45717, #39284 and #46847 merge into main today and conflict with this PR. The others already conflict with main.

• node:test: --test CLI mode, node:test/reporters, standalone execution, and reporter-output parity (+18 tests, test_runner 32%→55%) #34515 rewrites the same lines of runFiles() with another model. A signal that aborts during the run counts one failure and publishes test:interrupted, with no test:fail for the running file or for the later files. In Node.js, test:interrupted comes from SIGINT and SIGTERM of the CLI runner (harness.js L315-L334), and an aborted signal option gives the testAborted failures of this PR. The two PRs need one decision from the owner of run(): what an aborted signal publishes.
• node:test: count a failed subtest by itself, and fold subtests as Node does #47286 makes runOneFile return a boolean. After it, the two early returns before the spawn return false, and the return of a cancelled file returns that boolean.
• node:test: do not call the public Promise methods in the runner #46959 and node:test: run a test's hooks before the next test when the bun:test timeout ends it #43803 each add a helper named untilStopped, with other signatures. The helper here is firstOf, so no two functions get one name.
• node:test: abort t.signal and enforce the test-level signal option #39287 and node:test: enforce the timeout and signal options of suites #39312 each add abortFailure(signal) after makeTestFailure, without the failureType. The one here is at the same place, so the second to land gets a conflict there and not a second function of that name.
• node:test: store a test failure as node's ERR_TEST_FAILURE, with the thrown value as its cause #45717 edits the cancelledByParent line that this PR removes, and one row of its tests expects that failure type for a cancelled file.
• node:test run(): report child events in byte frames that printed text cannot produce #45003 replaces the stdout loop that is readLines here, and the line format that the controlled-child fixture writes. node:test: republish run() child events at the child's nesting #39284 and node:test: report a verdict for each suite registered with bun:test under run() #39331 add an argument to runOneFile and reportCancelledFile. node:test: hand run({ argv }) to the test file in the child's environment #46847 and node:test: give each file of run() the runtime flags of its caller #45549 edit the arguments of the spawn.

Tests. All four are in test/js/node/test_runner/node-test.test.ts.

• fixtures/30-run-signal.js uses node:test and node:assert, with real children: 12 tests. One test runs it with bun test --concurrent and expects 11 pass and 1 todo (on Windows 8 pass, 3 skipped for POSIX signals, 1 todo). One test runs it with Node.js (12 pass), and is skipped when Node.js is older than v26.3.0.
• fixtures/run-controlled-child-fixture.ts replaces Bun.spawn in its own process. Each scenario holds the pipes, the exit and kill() of the child, so the abort or the error of a listener comes at one exact point: while the child runs, in the middle of a chunk, after stdout ended, after the exit while only stderr is open, after the file ended. It also pins what must not change for a run that never aborts: the test:stderr lines, the failure message of a file that exits with code 1, one kill() per child, no abort listener left on the signal, the keys of details.
• One test with a real child pins that nothing of the child follows an abort that a listener made, not even the rest of a line.
• With src/ of main: 3 of the 4 tests fail, on the debug build and on a release build. The fourth is the Node.js run.
• Mutation check: 45 small changes of the new code in the bundled module (no check before the spawn, no kill(), Bun.spawn gets the signal again, a reader that decodes or publishes after the abort, each wait without the abort, the wrong count, no cause, another key order, and so on). A test fails for each of the 45.
• Also ran on the debug build: all of node-test.test.ts (49 pass), the six vendored tests that call run() (test-runner-expect-error.js, test-runner-expect-error-but-pass.js, test-runner-filetest-location.js, test-runner-todo-skip-tests.js, test-runner-tags-validation.mjs, test-runner-tags-experimental-warning.mjs), bun lint, bun fmt --check, and tsc -p src/js/tsconfig.json (no error in node/test.ts).
• The 30 s on the fixture's tests and on the two tests that run it: without it, one run in four of the debug build timed out at the 5 s default on a busy machine, and the run that the test left behind failed the next tests.

Measurements. Release builds of the merge base (000ef50) and of this PR at 6ec9b6d, x64 Linux. The last commit moves one function and changes the order of two keys: its bundled module has the same size. Node.js is v26.3.0.

The same with a signal	50,648,983	51,155,171 (+1.00%)

• Cells: the sum of heapStats().objectTypeCounts, JIT off. For the per-file count, Bun.spawn gives a child that reports one test and exits, and the count is the growth from 100 to 200 and from 200 to 300 files in one run. Three runs each agree within 1 cell.
• Instructions: user space, perf_event_open, JIT off, main and PR in turn, whole process. Ranges for the load: main 37,619,040 to 37,648,576, PR 37,751,185 to 37,798,907. The first file of a run with a signal loads internal/abort_listener.
• A run in which no listener throws and that never aborts publishes the same events as on main. Seven files (a pass, a failure, a throw at the top level, a suite with a skipped and a todo test, no test, an exit code 3, a missing file), with and without a signal, 30 runs each on main and on this PR: all 120 runs give the same 52 events and the same 55 test:stderr lines, apart from the line numbers of node:test frames in a stack trace.
• Abort to end of stream, for a child that exits 700 ms after SIGTERM with code 0, 20 runs each. main: 707 ms (705 to 740), success: true. This PR: 0.8 ms (0.6 to 1.8), success: false, the child still runs at the end. Node.js: 4.5 ms (1.7 to 6.8), success: false, the child still runs at the end.
• A child that ignores SIGTERM and exits after 2.5 s, 5 runs each, ms after the abort:

parent	end of stream	parent exits	child exits
main, plain script	2,509 to 2,687	2,514 to 2,693	2,503 to 2,680
main, bun test	2,513 to 2,522	2,527 to 2,532	2,505 to 2,510
this PR, plain script	1	2,519 to 2,526	2,505 to 2,512
this PR, bun test	1 to 3	7 to 10	2,507 to 2,519
Node.js, plain script	2 to 7	2,531 to 2,689	2,518 to 2,527

A plain script stays alive until the pipes of the child close, as in Node.js. bun test exits when its tests end, so there the child outlives the parent.

Self-review. The review of the first commit raised 15 concerns. The two that are not done: one wait path for runs with and without a signal (it costs 32 more cells per file for a run without a signal, and the difference it removes is gone), and a fixture that does not write the line format of the child itself (main exports no writer for it). An issue on the tracker does not exist yet. The two gaps under "What stays different" went to separate work.

Walkthrough

The test runner now handles aborts within each file run, including child termination, output-pipe draining, and file verdict reporting. New tests cover controlled child-process scenarios and Node.js-compatible run() signal behavior.

Changes

Test runner abort handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Per-file abort and stream lifecycle src/js/node/test.ts	runFiles processes files in sequence. runOneFile handles pre-aborted signals, spawn failures, aborts during execution, concurrent stdout and stderr draining, reader errors, and child cleanup.
Controlled child-process scenarios test/js/node/test_runner/fixtures/run-controlled-child-fixture.ts, test/js/node/test_runner/node-test.test.ts	A controlled-child fixture records process and stream behavior across abort timing, listener errors, spawn failures, and exit outcomes. node-test.test.ts adds signal behavior tests for run().
Node.js run signal behavior test/js/node/test_runner/node-test-run-signal.test.ts	Tests cover cancellation timing, abort reasons, output-pipe handling, completion verdicts, and a version-gated Node.js self-test.

Possibly related issues

• oven-sh/bun#46326 — Both concern child lifecycle and pipe delivery around process completion; this change drains both pipes and controls stream completion after cancellation.
• oven-sh/bun#46373 — Both concern cancellation of spawned test processes; this change kills the live child when the signal aborts.
• oven-sh/bun#34218 — Both concern test event delivery around process exit; this change drains child pipes and stops publishing output after abort.

Suggested reviewers: cirospaciari, alii

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to b8f31

Fix the typecheck failure before merging, preserving the null prototype. The new cancellation tests also need reliable failure cleanup and compliance with the repository’s timeout guidance.

[claude]

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

• 🟡 src/js/node/test.ts — Users listening for test:complete on a cancelled or spawn-failed file get a details object with Object.prototype, unlike every other test:complete the module emits. reportFailedFile at src/js/node/test.ts:443 builds { ...details, passed: false }, which drops the __proto__: null set on details at :437, while the sibling emit at :647-653 uses __proto__: null. The helper is new in this PR and now serves three paths (:495, :512, :601). Fix: build the complete details with { __proto__: null, ...details, passed: false } so all test:complete event objects share the null-prototype shape that src/js/CLAUDE.md and REVIEW.md require for event objects.

  Why this was flagged

  Trigger: any run({ signal }) abort (src/js/node/test.ts:495 and :601) or any Bun.spawn failure (:512) reaches reportFailedFile. At :437 details is created with __proto__: null, but { ...details, passed: false } at :443 copies only own properties into a fresh literal with Object.prototype, so the test:complete event's details inherits from Object.prototype while the same event emitted at :647-653 for a normally finished file uses a null prototype. The base branch's reportCancelledFile had the same spread, but that path only ran for not-yet-started files on abort; the PR rewrote it into a general helper used by three paths, including the new spawn-failure and killed-file reports, and left the inconsistency in place. REVIEW.md requires event objects to be built with { __proto__: null, ... } and src/js/CLAUDE.md says the same for builtin modules; a listener that walks details with for...in or in checks observes the difference. Remedy: add __proto__: null to the literal at :443.

  Verification: Trigger: any run({ signal }) abort before spawn (src/js/node/test.ts:495) or mid-file (:601), or a Bun.spawn throw (:512). Line 443 passes details: { ...details, passed: false } to reporter.complete, so the test:complete event's details inherits from Object.prototype. The sibling emit at :647-653 uses __proto__: null; the base's mid-run-abort path used that null-proto emitter.

[robobun]

The details of test:complete for a cancelled or failed file now has no prototype (b8f31da). The fixture checks the details of each event in each scenario.

The same push answers the three inline comments:

• A listener that aborts and then throws: fixed. Its error is the result of the run again.
• A process of the child that holds the pipes: no change. Main waits for it too, and the measurement is in the thread.
• Per-test timeouts: kept, with the reason in the thread.

The race helper is now firstOf. #46959 adds a helper named untilStopped with another signature, and two functions of one name in this file would not type check after both merge.

[claude]

Beyond the inline findings, I also traced two other paths in this push and found them sound: a stream listener that aborts the signal and then throws in the same call (the new publishLine/readerFailed path records the error synchronously before the raced waits settle, so it is rethrown at src/js/node/test.ts:618/626 and reaches the stream's destroy), and an abort that lands during the stderr wait after the child already exited (src/js/node/test.ts:625: the exit-code verdict stands, only the stderr text folded into the testCodeFailure message can be cut short).

Extended reasoning...

The change reworks per-file abort handling in node:test's run() in src/js/node/test.ts (abort before spawn, spawn failure, a kill-and-race on abort, and a shared line reader) and adds a controlled-child fixture plus two test files; it touches no auth, crypto, or injection surface. The inline findings already signal that a human look is needed, and this note only records the two additional paths examined this run.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Stop waiting when the held child exits before it writes its marker.

The wait at line 286 polls only for WROTE. If the child dies first, nothing ends the wait, and the test runs until its 30-second deadline. The run summary does not help: it arrives at the abort, while the child still runs. Also check isRunning in the same condition and assert the marker after the wait.

Suggested fix

-    await until(() => textOf(wrote) !== "");
+    await until(() => textOf(wrote) !== "" || !isRunning(pidOf(pid)));
+    assert.notStrictEqual(textOf(wrote), "", "the child exited before it wrote");

As per coding guidelines, await the observable condition and wire process exit to a failure.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Release the held child when the WROTE wait does not finish.

The test waits for WROTE with an unbounded until(). The loop never returns on a test timeout, so the body stays suspended. The process.kill(pidOf(pid), "SIGUSR2") after the wait does not run on that path. The child exits only on SIGUSR2 or its own 60-second timer, so a timeout before WROTE leaves the child running for up to 60 seconds. No runner path kills it on timeout.

A try/finally around the current wait does not fix this. The finally runs only after the wait returns. Re-aborting the run's signal also does not help, because controller.abort() already ran at the ready line, before this wait.

Bound the wait, and release the child on the bounded path:

• Measure the deadline from the start of the test body, so setup time counts toward the limit.
• End the deadline before the test's outer timeout.
• Send SIGUSR2 in a finally that runs after the bounded waits. Keep the assertions after it, so a missing WROTE still fails the test.

The repository test guidance also requires spawned resources to be released through using or a try/finally registered before the assertions.

Bound the `until()` wait for `WROTE` using a deadline measured from the start of
the test body and earlier than the outer timeout. Ensure
`process.kill(pidOf(pid), "SIGUSR2")` runs in a `finally` after the bounded
waits, and keep the `WROTE` and exit assertions after cleanup so missing output
still fails the test.

I reviewed the latest push (through 6ec9b6d) and didn't find any bugs. Because this reworks the abort/race sequencing of run()'s per-file child inside a built-in module, a human look at the promise ordering in runOneFile would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Commits b8f31da and 6ec9b6d: readerFailed is checked after each firstOf wait and afterStdout gates rejecting stop, so an abort-then-throw listener and a stderr listener error end the file at the same point with and without a signal; the controlled-child fixture pins both orderings.
• Every exit path settles and cleans up: stop has a rejection handler (via the first firstOf) before it can ever be rejected, drainStderr is handled from creation, the finally kills only a live child and disposes the listener, and Subprocess.kill() after exit is a no-op so the listener's unconditional kill is safe.
• Intrinsics and conventions: $makeAbortError, $newPromise, $then and the first-resolving-function helpers exist and are used elsewhere in src/js; opts.signal is validated in validateRunOptions; no ahead-of-time twin of node/test.ts exists.
• Tests: the Node-portable fixture is spawned from node-test.test.ts under both runtimes, with the Node run skipped below v26.3.0 via nodeExeAtLeast.

Extended reasoning...

The change rewrites the per-file child handling of run() in src/js/node/test.ts (about 200 lines: abort listener via internal/abort_listener, a tamper-resistant firstOf race, a shared readLines drain for both pipes, reportFailedFile for cancelled/spawn-failed files) and adds two fixtures plus a describe block in node-test.test.ts. It touches no security-sensitive surface beyond the usual hostile-userland concerns for src/js, which the diff addresses with $-intrinsics. The bug hunt ran dry with no findings, the follow-up commits visibly address the paths flagged in the two earlier reviews, and no CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed files. Deferring rather than approving because the promise-race ordering across stop, drainStdout, proc.exited and drainStderr is intricate enough that a maintainer should confirm the intended Node parity choices.

Push 6ec9b6d:

• The module type checks again (TS2783 in reportFailedFile). This was the failure of cargo-test and of Lint JavaScript.
• The error of a test:stderr listener has the same timing with and without a signal.
• The tests that Node.js passes are a fixture, and node-test.test.ts runs it with both runtimes.
• The test with the held child stops its wait when the child is gone, and then fails on the missing marker (first follow-up of CodeRabbit).
• Not done: a bounded wait that releases the held child (second follow-up). That child ends by itself after 60 s, and bun test kills the children of a test that times out.

[claude]

I re-reviewed the latest push and found no new bugs; since this reworks the abort control flow of run() and changes the verdict a caller observes for aborted and unstarted files, a maintainer's look at the chosen semantics is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Traced live, readerFailed and afterStdout through the abort, listener-throw and no-signal paths: a listener that aborts and then throws now surfaces its error, a test:stderr listener error ends the file at the same point with and without a signal, and stop always has a firstOf handler attached before afterStdout flips, so a late reader rejection cannot become an unhandled rejection.
• Checked every reportFailedFile caller emits enqueue/dequeue first and that the details key order matches main; the waits go through $then/$newPromise/$resolvePromiseWithFirstResolvingFunctionCallCheck rather than user-patchable Promise methods, require("internal/abort_listener") is a string literal, and no src/js/ahead-of-time counterpart of node/test.ts exists to keep in sync.
• Behaviour changes to sign off on: a file the abort killed is now cancelled with testAborted (was failed), an unstarted file gets testAborted (was cancelledByParent), and the stream ends at the abort while the SIGTERMed child may still be running.

Extended reasoning...

The change rewrites the per-file wait sequence of node:test's run() in src/js/node/test.ts (about 200 lines: a signal check before spawn, a spawn-error path, an abort listener that kills the child and resolves a stop promise, a shared line reader that drains both pipes to EOF but publishes nothing after the abort, and a firstOf race helper), plus about 1,000 lines of new tests and fixtures. It touches no security-sensitive surface; the tamper-resistance conventions for builtin modules are followed. The bug hunt ran dry on this version and the follow-up commits since the last review changed the paths flagged earlier, with every prior thread resolved by the author. Deferring rather than approving because the control flow is intricate async racing with several deliberate, user-visible behaviour changes (verdict kinds for aborted and unstarted files, the stream ending before the child exits) that a maintainer should accept explicitly.

The separate work on the first gap under "What stays different from Node.js" is done. The gap is an abort at the test:summary of a file. The result: no change in Bun, and no follow-up PR.

• Node.js does not document the cancelled file. The signal option "Allows aborting an in-progress test execution" (test.md L1727). A child that "finishes with an exit code of 0" is "considered passing" (L802-L804). No test of Node.js v26.3.0 aborts at a test:summary event.
• In Node.js the result depends on the time of the abort. I measured v26.3.0 on Linux x64. A for await consumer that aborted at once cancelled the file in 8 of 8 runs. The same consumer 30 ms later cancelled it in 0 of 8 runs, and the run reported success: true. With concurrency: 2, the last file can end first. An abort at once at its summary then left success: true in 5 of 5 runs.
• To match Node.js, the child must send its own summary while it runs. bun test prints its last three stderr lines after the root after() hooks and after beforeExit. Those test:stderr events would then follow the summary of the file in every run. That includes a run that never aborts.
• The other design cancels the file when the signal is aborted just after the parent publishes the summary. It reports a file as cancelled after its child exited with code 0.

The todo test "cancels a file when a listener aborts at the summary of that file" records the synchronous form of the same difference. This work plans nothing that makes it pass.
