Reject non-positive PIDs before the signal probe.
Do not attribute a dry-run hang to this call. BaseRunner bypasses status polling in dry-run mode and marks the job complete directly.
The fallback in StandaloneSystem.is_job_running() is still incorrect. When a no-handle job has ID 0 or a negative ID, os.kill(pid, 0) checks a process group and can return success. The method then reports the job as running. Reject non-positive IDs and cover 0 and -1 in the fallback tests.
Proposed fix
try:
- os.kill(int(job.id), 0)
+ pid = int(job.id)
+ if pid <= 0:
+ logging.debug(f"Job {job.id} running status: False")
+ return False
+ os.kill(pid, 0)📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Treat PermissionError as a running process.
When job.process is absent and os.kill(int(job.id), 0) raises PermissionError, the process exists but the current user cannot signal it. The current handler returns False, so is_job_completed() reports the job as complete. BaseRunner.monitor_jobs() then removes it from monitoring while it may still run.

is_job_running shelled out to `ps -p <pid>` and matched the pid as a substring of the output. The runner already owns the Popen it launched and then discarded it, keeping only the pid, so the handle had to be rediscovered externally on every check. That check runs on every monitor tick. Each one spawns two processes, a shell and a ps, costing about 10 ms; measured on a proxy-model DSE run it fired roughly seven times per trial against ~25 ms of actual work. Polling the handle is a single syscall. StandaloneJob now carries the Popen for the process it represents, which is where the handle belongs: its lifetime is the job's, so there is no registry to keep in step and nothing to leak. The runner passes the object it was already creating. Two secondary defects go with it. `str(job.id) in stdout` matches the pid anywhere in ps output, including inside another column, so an unrelated process could read as the job still running. And a finished-but-unreaped child stays visible to ps as a zombie, which reads as running forever; poll() reaps it. A job with no handle -- dry run, or reconstructed from prior state -- falls back to probing with signal 0, which tests for the pid without delivering anything, and treats a non-numeric id as not running. Replaces test_is_job_running, which mocked CommandShell.execute and asserted the pid appeared in mocked ps stdout. That assertion described the implementation being removed and could not survive the change; it is substituted by tests that poll the handle, assert no subprocess is spawned, cover the fallback probe, and cover a non-numeric id. kill() still uses the shell and is left alone; routing it through the handle is a separate change.
CI runs the copyright-header check as a separate 'pytest -m ci_only' pass, which the default addopts deselect, so a local 'pytest -q' does not cover it.

Summary
Checking whether a job finished no longer starts a new process.
flowchart TB subgraph Before["Before: ask by running a command"] direction LR A["is the job done?"] --> B["start a new 'ps' process"] B --> C["read its output"] end subgraph After["After: ask the handle we already hold"] direction LR D["is the job done?"] --> E["process handle"] end Before ~~~ AfterTo check whether a job had finished, cloudai ran the
pscommand, starting a whole new process just to ask about one. It now asks the process handle it already holds.is_job_runningshelled out tops -p <pid>and matched the pid as a substring of the output, while the runner already owned thePopenand threw it away. That check runs every monitor tick — two processes each, ~10 ms, roughly seven times per trial against ~25 ms of real work.StandaloneJobnow carries thePopen, so lifetime matches the job and there is no registry to leak.Two correctness bugs go with it:
