A stalled child leaves the supervisor buffering every request body until memory is exhausted.
Estimated field mix
Pattern topics
The worker exits after writing its output but before the acknowledgement frame; automatic retry may produce a second external artifact.
Estimated field mix
A timed-out worker launches a helper. Killing only the parent leaks the helper; reusing a process-group identifier risks signaling a newer process.
Estimated field mix
A corrupt fixture crashes every replacement worker, and immediate restart loops consume the supervisor CPU.
Estimated field mix
Pattern topics
The supervisor restarts with requests marked running but no in-memory correlation table and no proof whether workers completed them.
Estimated field mix
The local child-process harness is about to be mistaken for a production candidate-code sandbox.
Estimated field mix
A truncated PUSH instruction reads its operand from bytes beyond the supplied program.
Estimated field mix
One branch pushes a value and the other does not, so the merge point underflows only for certain inputs.
Estimated field mix
A crafted jump targets the second byte of a literal and reinterprets it as an opcode.
Estimated field mix
Debug builds trap on addition overflow while optimized builds wrap, producing different rule outcomes.
Estimated field mix
A backward jump with an always-true condition consumes a worker indefinitely.
Estimated field mix
A proposed LIST instruction allocates on every loop iteration and the prototype retains all intermediate values.
