## Message

```
terminal: Kill the terminal child process, not the terminal process on exit (#41631)

When rerunning a task, our process id fetching seems to sometimes return
the previous terminal's process id when respawning the task, causing us
to kill the new terminal once the previous one drops as we spawn a new
one, then drop the old one. This results in rerun sometimes spawning a
blank task as the terminal immediately exits. The fix here is simple, we
actually want to kill the process running inside the terminal process,
not the terminal process itself when we exit in the terminal.

No relnotes as this was introduced yesterday in
