**Steps to replicate the issue** (include links if applicable):
* Run a time-consuming script in a screen on `deploy1003` using `mwmaint-k8s`. (In this case I was running the following:
```
mwscript-k8s --comment=T398900 --follow --verbose --file=/srv/mediawiki-staging/php-1.45.0-wmf.12/extensions/SecurePoll/maintenance/wm-scripts/makeGlobalVoterList.php -- extensions/SecurePoll/maintenance/wm-scripts/makeGlobalVoterList.php --wiki=mediawikiwiki --edit-count-table=securepoll_bv2025_edits --list-name=board-vote-2025 --short-min-edits=20 --long-min-edits=300
```
(This usually takes about 8 hours)
**What happens?**:
After a while the logging seems to suggest the script suddenly failed:
```

In fact, the script is still running right now.
**What should have happened instead?**:
Script should have continued to output logs.
