 ### Added
 
+- Added a new field `handle_sigterm` to `PipelineRunner`. It defaults to `False`.
+  This field handles SIGTERM signals. The `handle_sigint` field still defaults
+  to `True`, but now it handles only SIGINT signals.
+
 - Added foundational example `14u-function-calling-ollama.py` for Ollama
   function calling.
