When a child process exits normally (si_code == CLD_EXITED), siginfo.si_status contains the exit code. When it is killed by a signal (si_code == CLD_KILLED or CLD_DUMPED), si_status contains the signal number. However, assert_signal_internal() returns si_status blindly. This causes exit codes to be misinterpreted as signal numbers. This allows failing tests to silently pass if their exit code numerically coincides with the expected signal. For example, a test expecting SIGABRT (6) would incorrectly pass if the child simply exited with status 6 instead of being killed by a signal. Fix this by checking si_code. Only return si_status as a signal number if the child was actually killed by a signal (CLD_KILLED or CLD_DUMPED). If the child exited normally (CLD_EXITED), return 0 to indicate that no signal occurred.
