This PR implements the POSIX-standard 128 + signal exit code behavior for processes terminated by signals on Unix, rather than returning a generic error code (1).

Why this is valuable

This improves reliability and shell compatibility. For example, if a developer runs a node server (run dev) and kills it with SIGINT (Ctrl+C), or an automated process kills a test runner with SIGTERM, run will now return the expected shell exit code (like 130 or 143) instead of masking it with 1. This allows wrapper scripts and CI/CD tools to accurately determine if the process crashed normally or was aborted by the user/system.

On Unix systems, when a child process is terminated by a signal (e.g., SIGKILL, SIGTERM), `ExitStatus::code()` returns `None`. Previously, `run` fell back to returning a generic error code (`1`), masking the actual reason for termination.

This commit updates `src/main.rs` to follow standard POSIX conventions by propagating the exit code as `128 + signal` if the process exits due to a signal. This ensures better observability and compatibility with shell scripts. On non-Unix platforms, the behavior remains unchanged.
