Orphaned server.mjs processes accumulate; some busy-loop at 100% CPU #3

Description

@speakman

Observed with cc2cc at commit a6a3f42 (current tip of origin/main), Node v26.3.0, macOS 26.5.

Found 16 node channel/server.mjs processes running at the same time, all with parent PID 1 (orphaned). Each is the MCP server spawned per Claude Code session.

  • 3 of them were each pegged at ~100% CPU. One had accumulated ~91h of CPU time over ~6 days of uptime.
  • The other 13 were idle (0% CPU); several had ~4.5 days of uptime.
  • The 3 busy processes did not exit on SIGTERM — only SIGKILL stopped them.
