Research direction

Start with the shutdown behavior described in docs/core/man/twistd.1, especially the SIGINT and clean-shutdown documentation. Review the linked discussion in pull request 1217 and trace the relevant twistd shutdown entry point. Done means a clean SIGINT shutdown runs registered atexit handlers, including pytest-cov's exit handler.
