Command exited with code

Error message

Command exited with code ${exitCode}

What it means

Signal rethrow in the bash tool's exec path: the shell backend threw the literal 'aborted' error because the AbortSignal fired (user pressed the abort key or the session is shutting down). The wrapper appends 'Command aborted' to the output text accumulated before cancellation so partial stdout/stderr is preserved.

Solutions

1. No fix needed: this reports cancellation, not a command failure
2. Rerun the command if you still need its result
3. Avoid aborting signals for commands whose completion matters

When it happens
