Conversation
Copilot repeatedly mistakes StillRunningAfter assertions for process lifetime controls and requests unnecessary changes to tests that reuse servers across runs, as seen in the review of apache#13666. This patch explains the assertion semantics and directs reviewers to check process scope, startup dependencies, and shutdown behavior before reporting a lifetime bug.
