Corral is a new command-line tool designed to ensure that processes started by AI coding agents or CI jobs are fully terminated. It addresses common issues where background processes or daemons might persist after the main command finishes, leading to resource leaks. Corral achieves this by utilizing Linux cgroups for enforced termination or acting as a child subreaper to manage orphaned processes, guaranteeing that no child processes remain alive after a command completes.
