Field notes
The page presents exit code 137 as the result of adding the POSIX signal offset, 128, to SIGKILL's signal number, 9, and emphasizes that SIGKILL cannot be caught or ignored by application code. Its command examples span host-level checks such as dmesg and /proc/$PID/oom_score as well as a Kubernetes pod query. The visible fix-playbook excerpt begins with an instance-size upgrade example but ends before the section is complete.
