-mcpcat runs natively on macOS, Linux and Windows (Node ≥ 24), and inside Sliccy Seven as a kernel program, with the same flags, the same output and the same config file in both places. Orphan-free shutdown of stdio server trees in the kernel needs slicc-kernel ≥ 1.74.0; on older kernels only the direct child is signalled. When the kernel sends SIGKILL to mcpcat's process group, no handler can run and the server tree survives; a kernel "parent death signal" spawn option (like Linux `PR_SET_PDEATHSIG`) would cover that case.
+mcpcat runs natively on macOS, Linux and Windows (Node ≥ 24), and inside Sliccy Seven as a kernel program, with the same flags, the same output and the same config file in both places. Orphan-free shutdown of stdio server trees in the kernel needs slicc-kernel ≥ 1.74.0; on older kernels only the direct child is signalled. A SIGKILLed mcpcat runs no handler. On slicc-kernel ≥ 1.88.0, mcpcat spawns stdio servers and served commands with a parent death signal (like Linux `PR_SET_PDEATHSIG`), so the kernel SIGKILLs each server's process group when mcpcat dies. On older kernels, and on the host, where there is no portable equivalent, servers that exit on stdin EOF (most MCP servers) still stop, but servers that ignore it keep running.
