Description

It's useful to know the exit code of the target application if the target app exited or crashed during the minification process. For many containerized apps it's an important signal that will indicate if the minified container image is good.

This feature is also related to the new app-exit continue-after mode allows the main application to observe the target application until it's done executing. The app-exit mode makes it easier to minify cli / non-server applications, so you don't have to use the timeout mode, which may not easy to guess for some apps.

Research direction

Start by tracing the app-exit continue-after mode and how the target container's lifecycle is observed during minification. Determine where the target application's exit or crash status is available, then make the exit code visible in the relevant command output; done means it is reported for both normal exits and crashes.
