CTRL + C doesn't close the app and process

The issue : hitting CTRL + C doesn't close the app and the process

claude-desktop
^C

nothing happens, even if I close the window, something is stuck in there. I have to manually kill the process
this also makes problems when you change MCP server configurations, since if you don't kill the processes completly the new configuration won't be reloaded

I have everything I need. Here's the triage comment:

---

The deb launcher is missing exec before the Electron invocation. Without it, the shell wrapper stays alive as a parent process, so CTRL+C sends SIGINT to the wrapper instead of Electron. The AppImage launcher already does this correctly.

scripts/build-appimage.sh:115:

exec "$electron_exec" "${electron_args[@]}" "$@" >> "$log_file" 2>&1

scripts/build-deb-package.sh:168:

"$electron_exec" "${electron_args[@]}" "$@" >> "$log_file" 2>&1

Adding exec at line 168 replaces the shell process with Electron directly. Signals then go straight to Electron and process cleanup works normally. One-word fix.

This is an automated triage comment. A maintainer will review this issue and may provide further guidance.
