Description
Similar to others in the past ([1](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/haos-on-laptop-suddenly-stopped-working-after-reboot-i-get-cli-not-starting/798708), [2](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/suddenly-cant-reach-ha-even-locally/697739), [3](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/new-home-assistant-green-not-working-at-all/856660)), I have recently encountered an issue where suddenly the HA Supervisor would fail to start HA Core. The logs would show the following repeated failure:
```
s6-supervise watchdog: warning: unable to spawn ./run (waiting 60 seconds): Exec format error
```
While I have successfully recovered the system from this state twice by stopping and removing the `hassio_supervisor` docker container, leading to its recreation, this seemed more like a workaround. Rebooting the system does not fix the issue.
Would it be reasonable to implement a repair mechanism for this specific error state?
