 When receiving a `QUIT` signal, if workers still have jobs in-flight, these will be returned to the queue when the processes are deregistered.
 
-If processes have no chance of cleaning up before exiting (e.g. if someone pulls a cable somewhere), in-flight jobs might remain claimed by the processes executing them. Processes send heartbeats, and the supervisor checks and prunes processes with expired heartbeats, which will release any claimed jobs back to their queues. You can configure both the frequency of heartbeats and the threshold to consider a process dead. See the section below for this.

Jobs that were claimed by processes with an expired heartbeat will be marked as failed with a `SolidQueue::Processes::ProcessPrunedError`.

+In a similar way, if a worker is terminated in any other way not initiated by the above signals (e.g. a worker is sent a `KILL` signal), jobs in progress will be marked as failed so that they can be inspected, with a `SolidQueue::Processes::Process::ProcessExitError`. Sometimes a job in particular is responsible for this, for example, if it has a memory leak and you have a mechanism to kill processes over a certain memory threshold, so this will help identifying this kind of situation.
