Six teardown tests need the same guarantee: the child test process exits on its own, within ten seconds, with status 1. They now share that check. Each test keeps its own assertions about the failure, cleanup, or timeout it exercises. An unrelated failure also exits 1.

All 37 tests passed before and after. As a negative check, I changed the child’s worker-stop error without changing its exit status. The owning test failed on the wrong error, as intended. I ran these in an isolated container, not against a live Kubernetes cluster.

Codex review: needs maintainer review before merge.

What this changes

This PR shares the child-process failure and prompt-exit checks across six Kubernetes teardown tests.

Review scores

Measure	Result	What it means
Overall readiness	🦐 gold shrimp (3/6)	Focused and apparently correct test cleanup, supported by reported container validation and passing CI rather than shipped-entry-point evidence.
Proof confidence	🦐 gold shrimp (3/6)	This collaborator-authored PR changes only conformance-test assertions; reported isolated-container runs and passing head CI support the extraction without claiming live Kubernetes proof.
Patch quality	🐚 platinum hermit (4/6)	No actionable review findings were identified.

Product

Kind: Test only · Worth it: Yes · Fix scope: Complete
Reason: The maintainer-authored cleanup reduces repeated test machinery without weakening failure discrimination or changing platform behavior.

Merge readiness

✅ Ready for maintainer review

Keep open: this maintainer-authored PR is a focused test cleanup that preserves scenario-specific assertions, with no introduced defect found.

Agent review details

How this fits together

Kubernetes conformance tests launch isolated Node test processes, exercise teardown failures, and inspect their exit status, cleanup output, and diagnostics.

Technical review

Best possible solution:

Retain the shared exit check and the independent assertions owned by each teardown scenario.

Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue?

This is test refactoring rather than a reported product failure; inspection confirms the duplicated exit checks, and no target code was executed during review.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

The small local helper appropriately reuses the existing runner while leaving scenario-specific expectations at their call sites.

AGENTS.md: found and applied where relevant.

Codex review notes: model internal, reasoning medium; reviewed against fb28ccf155ee.

Provenance checked

• OpenShell child-process teardown assertions keeps the original intent (28207c6: Protect against stalled worker cleanup skipping other releases and keeping the test process alive.)
• Topology child-process teardown assertions keeps the original intent (578365d: Verify every cleanup runs after worker-stop rejection and the original error still fails the child.)
• Timeout, late-setup, and file-settlement assertions keeps the original intent (test: see the file's end when a file hook fails, and stop late setup safely #2799: Preserve bounded exit without interrupting later tests, hooks, or resource release after timed-out setup.)

Testing

Proof path: in-process harness.

Security

None.

Evidence

What I checked:

• Pinned introduced diff: The patch reuses runTestScript, consolidates the three exit assertions, and retains each scenario's cleanup, timeout, and error checks. (tests/conformance/kubernetes-real-kubectl.test.mjs:502, b95808278531)
• Original teardown intent preserved: The rationale in test(openshell): bound the k3d proof's teardown and name 401 token sources #2781, test: run real-cluster cleanups newest-first and bounded #2789, test: end bounded teardown promptly when setup outlives its test #2796, and test: see the file's end when a file hook fails, and stop late setup safely #2799 establishes independent cleanup attempts, retained failures, and bounded process exit; the extraction preserves those checks. (tests/helpers/kubernetes-real.mjs:234, b95808278531)
• Current main comparison: Fetched main changes synchronization in a separate late-cleanup test; it does not contain the shared failed-child check or overlap the introduced hunks. (tests/conformance/kubernetes-real-kubectl.test.mjs, fb28ccf155ee)
• Validation and discussion: The full PR body reports 37 passing tests before and after, plus a wrong-worker-error negative check in an isolated container. CI Required, Static Checks, and Checks and Conformance 1 pass for the reviewed head; advisory QA jobs remain running. Discussion contains only bot status comments. (b95808278531)
• Policy and history inspection: Read the complete root policy; no nested tests AGENTS.md, maintainer-notes directory, or pr-simplify skill exists. Applied test-audit and enterprise-testing without executing tests or a second reviewer. Available history identifies the teardown work; deeper history searches encountered unavailable historical objects. (AGENTS.md, b95808278531)

Likely related people:

• Free Wortley: Raw commit 75afa0d adds tests/conformance/kubernetes-real-kubectl.test.mjs:447 relative to its recorded parents. This identifies author metadata, not feature responsibility or a PR merger.
