Research direction

Start by running the e2e/cli-plugins TestPluginSocketCommunication case and inspect socket_test.go around lines 238 and 243. Determine why the detached case reports exit status 255 and the three-signal message instead of the expected result; done means the test is reliable and its assertions pass.
