Summary

This Linux-runtime fix addresses an unrecoverable command-timeout path in RepoLaunch.

LinuxRuntime.send_command() returns exit code 124 after its Ctrl-C recovery attempt fails to recover the shell prompt. Before this change, the runtime returned that timeout result while leaving the isolated Docker evaluation container alive. A foreground process that ignores SIGINT could therefore keep running after the caller had already been told that the command timed out.

This PR:

• kills and removes the isolated Linux container only when the Ctrl-C recovery path does not recover a prompt;
• marks the runtime stopped before returning the existing 124 timeout result;
• keeps normal successful-command behavior and the existing minute-to-second timeout conversion unchanged;
• adds a focused regression test for the Linux fallback path.

Minimal reproduction

Using the current RepoLaunch Linux runtime with command_timeout=1 minute, I ran a foreground command that ignores SIGINT:

trap '' INT; sleep 90; touch /tmp/slai_linux_timeout_probe_completed

The runtime returned its expected timeout result after about 66 seconds (124, including the existing 5-second prompt-recovery grace period), but the Docker container was still running and the sleep 90 process was still present. That leaves an unowned command running after the timeout boundary.

With this patch, the same probe returns 124, marks the runtime stopped, and Docker reports the isolated container as removed immediately after the timeout path.

Validation

• python -m py_compile launch/core/platforms/linux.py tests/linux_timeout_test.py
• python tests/linux_timeout_test.py -v — 2 passed
• Real Linux Docker probe using a SWE-bench-Live evaluator image:
  • requested timeout: 1 minute;
  • command ignored SIGINT;
  • timeout result: 124;
  • runtime stopped: true;
  • container removed: true.
• git diff --check

Scope

This is intentionally Linux-only and limited to the fallback where Ctrl-C does not recover a prompt. It does not alter evaluator scoring, task patches, normal Linux command execution, or the existing timeout-unit contract.
