P2Moderate issues affecting some users, edge cases, potentially valuable featurebugSomething isn't workingready for workEnough information for someone to start working on

As per https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-03-26/basic/lifecycle#stdio

For the stdio transport the client SHOULD initiate shutdown by
- First, closing the input stream to the child process (the server)
- Waiting for the server to exit, or sending SIGTERM if the server does not exit within a reasonable time
- Sending SIGKILL if the server does not exit within a reasonable time after SIGTERM

None of this is happening, only SIGTERM is sent in the current code: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/blob/main/src/client/stdio.ts#L202

As a result MCP server can't exit cleanly on Windows. Non-Windows platforms exit cleanly as per SIGTERM handling.

                              As per https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-03-26/basic/lifecycle#stdio
                              For the stdio transport the client SHOULD initiate shutdown by
- First, closing the input stream to the child process (the server)
- Waiting for the server to exit, or sending SIGTERM if the server does not exit within a reasonable time
- Sending SIGKILL if the server does not exit within a reasonable time after SIGTERM

                              None of this is happening, only SIGTERM is sent in the current code: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/blob/main/src/client/stdio.ts#L202
                              As a result MCP server can't exit cleanly on Windows. Non-Windows platforms exit cleanly as per SIGTERM handling.
