+# Changelog
+
+## 2026-03-03 - 1.1.1 - fix(shutdown)
+kill full child process trees and add synchronous exit handler to force-kill remaining child processes
+
+- Use tree-kill via SmartExit.killTreeByPid to terminate entire process trees (attempt SIGTERM, fallback to SIGKILL).
+- Replace previous delayed/process.kill calls with awaitable tree-kill for more reliable termination.
+- Add a synchronous process.on('exit') handler that force-kills any remaining child processes as a last-resort safety net.
+- No public API changes; internal robustness/bugfix to shutdown behavior.

+## 2025-12-15 - 1.1.0 - feat(smartexit)
+Add silent logging option, structured shutdown logs, and killAll return stats
+
+- Introduce ISmartExitOptions with a silent flag to disable console logging
+- Add internal log() helper and use a [smartexit] prefix for shutdown/error messages
+- killAll() now returns Promise<{ processesKilled, cleanupFunctionsRan }> and tallies processes and cleanup functions run
+- Constructor accepts options (backwards compatible) to configure behavior
+- Documentation (readme.hints.md) updated with usage and example output

+# SmartExit - Development Hints
+
+## Logging System
+
+The module uses consolidated logging with a `[smartexit]` prefix:
+
+- **Default behavior**: Logs a single summary line on shutdown
+- **Silent mode**: Pass `{ silent: true }` to constructor to disable all logging
+
+### Example output
+```
+[smartexit] Shutdown complete: killed 3 child processes, ran 2 cleanup functions
+```
+
+### Usage
+```typescript
+// Default - logs summary
+const smartExit = new SmartExit();
+
+// Silent - no logging
+const smartExit = new SmartExit({ silent: true });
+```
+
+## killAll() Return Value
+
+The `killAll()` method returns stats about the cleanup:
+```typescript
+const { processesKilled, cleanupFunctionsRan } = await smartExit.killAll();
+```

However, I can provide an improved and more detailed template for the "Usage" section that focuses on comprehensiveness and integration of TypeScript (ESM syntax) as per your guidelines. Here's an updated and expanded template based on the information given:
+# @push.rocks/smartexit
+
+A library for managing graceful shutdowns of Node.js processes by handling cleanup operations, including terminating child processes.

Developers who sign and comply with our contribution agreement and go through identification can also get a [code.foss.global/](https://code.foss.global/) account to submit Pull Requests directly.
 
 ## Install
 
-To include `@push.rocks/smartexit` in your project, install it via npm:
+To install `@push.rocks/smartexit`, use pnpm:
 
 ```bash
-npm install @push.rocks/smartexit --save
-```
-
-or using yarn:
-
-```bash
-yarn add @push.rocks/smartexit
+pnpm install @push.rocks/smartexit
 ```
 
 ## Usage
 
-`@push.rocks/smartexit` is a Node.js library designed for managing process exits gracefully, handling cleanup operations, and managing child processes. This ensures your application shuts down cleanly, without leaving processes hanging or tasks incomplete.
+`@push.rocks/smartexit` helps you gracefully shut down Node.js applications by running cleanup operations before the process exits. It handles signal interception (`SIGINT`, `SIGTERM`), uncaught exception management, and child process termination.
 
-### Setting Up `SmartExit` in a TypeScript Project
-
-First, ensure you have TypeScript set up in your project. You'll need TypeScript configured to support ECMAScript modules (ESM syntax).
-
-#### Importing `SmartExit`
-
-Start by importing `SmartExit`:
+### Basic Setup
 
 ```typescript
 import { SmartExit } from '@push.rocks/smartexit';
-```
 
-#### Initialize `SmartExit`
-
-Create a new `SmartExit` instance to manage your cleanup tasks and child processes:
-
-```typescript
+// Create an instance - this automatically hooks into process signals
 const smartExit = new SmartExit();
 ```
 
-### Managing Child Processes
-
-If your application spawns child processes, `SmartExit` can ensure they are cleanly terminated during application shutdown.
-
-#### Adding a Child Process
-
-```typescript
-import { spawn } from 'child_process';
-
-// Example child process
-const exampleProcess = spawn('my-long-running-process');
-
-// Add the process to SmartExit
-smartExit.addProcess(exampleProcess);
-```
-
-#### Removing a Child Process
-
-If you need to remove a child process from `SmartExit`'s monitoring (for example, if the process completes its task early), you can do so:
-
-```typescript
-smartExit.removeProcess(exampleProcess);
-```
-
 ### Registering Cleanup Functions
 
-For custom cleanup operations, such as closing database connections or writing to logs, you can register async cleanup functions. These functions are executed before the application exits.
+Define custom async cleanup functions that execute before the process exits:
 
 ```typescript
 smartExit.addCleanupFunction(async () => {
-  console.log("Performing custom cleanup...");
-  await performCleanupAsync();
+  console.log('Closing database connections...');
+  await database.close();
+});
+
+smartExit.addCleanupFunction(async () => {
+  console.log('Flushing logs...');
+  await logger.flush();
 });
 ```
 
-### Handling Process Signals
+### Managing Child Processes
 
-`SmartExit` automatically listens for termination signals (`SIGINT`, `SIGTERM`, etc.) and begins the cleanup process when these are received. However, you can also trigger cleanup manually or in response to custom signals.
-
-#### Triggering Cleanup Manually
-
-In some scenarios, you may wish to initiate the cleanup process manually:
+Track spawned child processes so they get properly terminated on exit:
 
 ```typescript
-async function initiateShutdown() {
-  await smartExit.killAll();
-  process.exit(0);
-}
-```
-
-This approach is useful in situations where you have a custom shutdown sequence or need to perform additional actions before exiting.
-
-### Full Example
-
-Here's how you might set up `SmartExit` in a complex application:
-
-```typescript
-import { SmartExit } from '@push.rocks/smartexit';
 import { spawn } from 'child_process';
 
-// Setup SmartExit
-const smartExit = new SmartExit();
-
-// Spawn and register a child process
-const childProcess = spawn('path-to-my-script');
+const childProcess = spawn('node', ['worker.js']);
 smartExit.addProcess(childProcess);
 
-// Register cleanup functions
-smartExit.addCleanupFunction(async () => {
-  console.log('Cleaning up resources...');
-  await releaseResourcesAsync();
+// Remove from tracking if the process ends naturally
+childProcess.on('exit', () => {
+  smartExit.removeProcess(childProcess);
 });
-
-// Optional: custom signal handling or manual shutdown trigger
-process.on('someCustomSignal', async () => {
-  console.log('Custom signal received, initiating cleanup...');
-  await smartExit.killAll();
-  process.exit(0);
-});
-
-// Assuming this script is running in a long-lived process (e.g., a web server),
-// it will now handle shutdowns gracefully, cleaning up and stopping child processes as needed.
 ```
 
----
+### Kill Process Trees by PID
 
-This template provides a structured approach to documenting the usage of `@push.rocks/smartexit` in Node.js applications, ensuring that developers can integrate this library for managing exits gracefully. Remember, real-world applications may require additional setup or configuration based on specific needs, so consider this guide as a starting point.
+Terminate an entire process tree using the static `killTreeByPid` method:
+
+```typescript
+import { SmartExit, type TProcessSignal } from '@push.rocks/smartexit';
+
+// Kill with default SIGKILL
+await SmartExit.killTreeByPid(12345);
+
+// Kill with a specific signal
+await SmartExit.killTreeByPid(12345, 'SIGTERM');
+```
+
+### Triggering Cleanup Manually
+
+While `SmartExit` automatically hooks into `SIGINT`, `SIGTERM`, and uncaught exceptions, you can manually trigger cleanup:
+
+```typescript
+await smartExit.killAll();
+process.exit(0);
+```
+
+### Integrating with Express
+
+Gracefully close an Express server on shutdown:
+
+```typescript
+import express from 'express';
+import { SmartExit } from '@push.rocks/smartexit';
+
+const app = express();
+const smartExit = new SmartExit();
+
+const server = app.listen(3000, () => {
+  console.log('Server running on port 3000');
+});
+
+smartExit.addCleanupFunction(async () => {
+  console.log('Closing Express server...');
+  await new Promise<void>((resolve) => server.close(() => resolve()));
+});
+```
+
+### Available Process Signals
+
+The `TProcessSignal` type provides all standard POSIX signals:
+
+```typescript
+import type { TProcessSignal } from '@push.rocks/smartexit';
+
+// Examples: 'SIGINT', 'SIGTERM', 'SIGKILL', 'SIGHUP', 'SIGUSR1', 'SIGUSR2', etc.
+```
+
+### How It Works
+
+When you create a `SmartExit` instance, it automatically:
+
+1. **Hooks `SIGINT`** (Ctrl+C): Runs cleanup and exits with code 0
+2. **Hooks process `exit`**: Runs cleanup when `process.exit(0)` is called
+3. **Catches uncaught exceptions**: Logs the error, runs cleanup, and exits with code 1
+
+On `killAll()`, it:
+- Sends `SIGINT` to all tracked child processes
+- Waits 10 seconds, then sends `SIGKILL` if processes are still alive
+- Executes all registered cleanup functions
