# Which Problems Are Solved
When running a long-running Zitadel Setup, Kubernetes might decide to
move a pod to a new node automatically. Currently, this puts any
migrations into a broken state that an operator needs to manually run
the "cleanup" command on - assuming they catch the error.
The only super long running commands are typically projection pre-fill
operations, which depending on the size of the event table for that
projection, can take many hours - plenty of time for Kubernetes to make
unexpected decisions, especially in a busy cluster.
# How the Problems Are Solved
This change listens on `os.Interrupt` and `syscall.SIGTERM`, cancels the
current Setup context, and runs the `Cleanup` command. The logs then
look something like this:
```shell

```
# Additional Changes
* `mustExecuteMigration` -> `executeMigration`: **must**Execute logged a
Fatal error previously which calls os.Exit so no cleanup was possible.
Instead, this PR returns an error and assigns it to a shared error in
the Setup closure that defer can check.
* `initProjections` now returns an error instead of exiting
# Additional Context
This behavior might be unwelcome or at least unexpected in some cases.
Putting it behind a feature flag or config setting is likely a good
followup.
