This adds a short note to the README under "Get coverage of external tests" explaining that externally-run, long-running servers must shut down cleanly so LLVM's coverage runtime can flush profiling data. It includes a small example.
Potential follow-ups:
A help-note could be added to the runsubcommand help. That depends on feedback, so omitted for now.
It’s possible the run subcommand’s assumptions make embedding this guidance there undesirable — that, and that a help text didnt really seem to fix, was why it was left out.
There also might be a cleaner or more idiomatic shutdown pattern you prefer.
Note that this documentation was generated by an LLM based on my input.
