The signals are queued, but if no handler is connected, they sould just be dropped.

I've written it in this gist: https://gist.github.com/achow101/e20dcc0818e2b346e699438b70ee8b8c

I think discussion of bips is a bit off topic for this repo as the actions taken by either repo are largely unrelated.

> If the main motivation is making moderation easier, moving out the bips repository and leaving bitcoin under the bitcoin org seems a less risky option.

(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32342#issuecomment-2828562780)
@laanwj Thanks for the review!
I've updated `set_clo_on_exec` to check the return value of `fcntl(fd, F_GETFD, 0)` and throw OSError on failure, similar to the existing check for `F_SETFD`

📝 laanwj opened a pull request: "common: Close non-std fds before exec in RunCommandJSON"
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32343)
Picks up stale #30756, while addressing my fallback comment (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30756#discussion_r2030844440).

> Currently, RunCommandParseJSON runs its target with whatever fds happen to be open inherited on POSIX platforms. I don't think there's any practical scenario where this is a problem right now, but there's a lot of potential for weird problems (eg, if a process manages to outlive bitcoind - perhaps it's hanging - the listening port(s) won't get released and star

Okay, that's really awful (doubt this is the only such case), but yes, better to revert to previous solution then.

Thanks for the reviews, addressed most of your concerns - except for the vector constructor for `Obfuscation` - but if other reviewers also think it's better that way, I'll do it of course.
Also extended the `BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(dbwrapper)` test case with asserting that the obfuscation key can be read back by an unobfuscated instance as well.

💬 theuni commented on pull request "net: replace manual reference counting of CNode with shared_ptr":
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32015#issuecomment-2828630396)
Ok, I'm back after a week of paging all of this back in and hacking around. This is actually something I wanted to get cleaned up a long time ago, so I'm happy it has eyes on it again. Sorry in advance for the novel :)

---

I think the discussions about `shared_ptr`/`unique_ptr`/refcounting have distracted from what really needs to be discussed here: the lifetime and concurrency requirements/guarantees of the various subsystems.

The refcounters are (ab)used as a generic means of controll

LGTM now, raising OSError appears to be how other errors are handled in subprocess as well, so it's at least consistent. Needs to be tested, though, i don't really know the effect of this up the callchain. It doesn't look like we actually catch OSError in `RunCommandParseJSON`.

Please squash your commits and use a more informative commit message than "Update subprocess.h" .
