+# AbortSignal Support in Bun Shell Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+This implementation adds AbortSignal support to Bun Shell, allowing users to cancel long-running shell commands using the standard Web API AbortSignal interface.
+
+## API Usage
+
+```typescript
+const controller = new AbortController();
+
+// Basic usage
+const cmd = $`long-running-command`.signal(controller.signal);
+
+// Method chaining
+const cmd2 = $`command`
+  .cwd("/tmp")
+  .signal(controller.signal)
+  .env({ VAR: "value" });
+
+// Abort the command
+setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 1000);
+
+try {
+  await cmd;
+} catch (error) {
+  console.log("Command was aborted:", error.exitCode === 128);
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### 1. JavaScript API Changes
+
+**File: `src/js/builtins/shell.ts`**
+- Added `signal(abortSignal: AbortSignal | undefined): this` method to `ShellPromise` class
+- Method validates the signal and passes it to the underlying `ParsedShellScript`
+
+### 2. ParsedShellScript Updates
+
+**File: `src/shell/ParsedShellScript.zig`**
+- Added `abort_signal: ?*JSC.WebCore.AbortSignal` field
+- Added `setAbortSignal()` method to set the signal from JavaScript
+- Updated `take()` method to pass the signal to the interpreter
+- Added proper cleanup in `finalize()` method
+
+### 3. Interpreter Integration
+
+**File: `src/shell/interpreter.zig`**
+- Added `abort_signal: ?*JSC.WebCore.AbortSignal` field to `Interpreter` struct
+- Updated `init()` method signature to accept abort signal parameter
+- Added `isAborted()` helper method to check signal state
+- Added abort checking at interpreter entry points (`run()` and `runFromJS()`)
+- Added proper cleanup in all deinit methods
+
+### 4. State Machine Abort Checks
+
+**File: `src/shell/states/Script.zig`**
+- Added abort checking in `next()` method before executing statements
+- Returns exit code 128 (signal termination) when aborted
+
+**File: `src/shell/states/Cmd.zig`**
+- Added abort checking in `next()` method before command execution
+- Ensures individual commands can be cancelled mid-execution
+
+## Error Handling
+
+When a command is aborted:
+- Exit code is set to 128 (following Unix convention for signal termination)
+- The shell error is propagated as a `ShellErr` with syscall error code `CANCELED`
+- JavaScript receives the error as a rejected promise
+
+## Memory Management
+
+- AbortSignal references are properly managed with `ref()` and `unref()`
+- Cleanup occurs in all interpreter deinit paths
+- No memory leaks from retained signal references
+
+## Testing
+
+Comprehensive test suite in `test/js/bun/shell/abort-signal.test.ts` covers:
+- Basic signal passing and method chaining
+- Immediate abort before command starts  
+- Abort during command execution
+- Multiple commands with same signal
+- Pipeline command abort
+- Builtin command abort
+- Error vs abort distinction
+- Memory cleanup validation
+- Edge cases (null/undefined signals)
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+- All existing shell command APIs remain unchanged
+- The `.signal()` method is optional and doesn't affect existing code
+- Commands without abort signals behave exactly as before
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+- Minimal overhead: abort checking only occurs at state transitions
+- No impact on commands that don't use abort signals
+- AbortSignal checking uses fast native calls
+
+## Standards Compliance
+
+- Follows the W3C AbortSignal specification
+- Compatible with standard AbortController usage patterns
+- Works with AbortSignal.timeout() and other standard features
+
+## Integration with Other Bun Features
+
+The implementation follows the same patterns used in:
+- Bun's fetch() AbortSignal support
+- JSC WebCore AbortSignal bindings  
+- Existing Bun shell architecture
+
+This ensures consistency across Bun's APIs and leverages existing infrastructure for AbortSignal handling.
