[Bug]: Electron hangs forever if Nitro server fails to start

[Muneerali199]

The waitForServer function has no retry limit - if Nitro crashes, Electron hangs forever waiting for a server that will never start. Additionally, there are no SIGTERM/SIGINT handlers for clean shutdown.

File: electron/main.cjs

Fix:

1. Add maxRetries limit to waitForServer
2. Add SIGTERM/SIGINT handlers for clean process shutdown

Thanks for reporting this issue!

the infinite retry in waitForServer could indeed cause Electron to hang if Nitro fails to start.

I have pushed a fix that includes:

• A retry limit with proper error handling in waitForServer
• Detection of early Nitro process exit
• Graceful shutdown via SIGINT/SIGTERM handlers

These changes ensure the app fails fast instead of hanging and cleans up processes correctly.

it could me helpful if you could test this on your end 👍

Could you please verify if this fixes the problem on your setup? if any changes are to be done just give me a confirmation after verifying it.
