Research direction

Start by reviewing PR #298 and the macOS runner's Metro startup path, focusing on when the child-process error listener is attached relative to readiness. Exercise a startup failure and confirm that readiness races process failure and cleanup completes without unhandled rejections.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The macOS runner in PR #298 attaches its child-process error listener after waiting for Metro readiness. A spawn error can therefore escape the runner's normal failure handling.

Attach failure monitoring immediately, race readiness against process failure, and verify that startup failures and cleanup complete without unhandled rejections.
