wait child: {e}

Error message

wait child: {e}

What it means

Waiting for the claude child process to exit (after stdout reached EOF and the parser was ended) failed — the OS wait syscall on the child errored. The turn's output was already consumed; this failure means the exit status is unknown, so the driver cannot distinguish success from a signal.

Solutions

1. Retry the turn
2. Check for zombie/orphaned claude processes
3. Investigate OS-level process issues if recurrent
