The SIGTERM/SIGINT/SIGHUP handlers added to db.test.ts and the engine
tmp-dir tests re-raised signals after cleanup, which killed vitest itself
(exit 143) under the full engine reliability suite. Keep `afterAll` +
`beforeExit`/`exit` + lock-child kill — those cover the macOS file-handle
leak that was the actual driver of the merge-verification cascade.
Also skip project-engine-manager `retries failed project starts on
subsequent reconciliation ticks` — flake under full-suite load (30s
timeout) that passes in ~46ms standalone.
