      # in the case of puma, this will override the existing SIGUSR2 signal handler
      # that can be used to trigger a restart.
      #
      # puma cluster has two types of restarts:
      # * SIGUSR1: phased restart
      # * SIGUSR2: restart
      #
      # phased restart is not supported in our configuration, because we use
      # preload_app. this means we will always perform a normal restart.
      # additionally, phased restart is not supported when sending a SIGUSR2
      # directly to a puma worker (as opposed to the master process).
      #
      # the result is that the behaviour of SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 is identical in
      # our configuration, and we can always use a SIGUSR1 to perform a restart.
      #
      # thus, it is acceptable for us to re-appropriate the SIGUSR2 signal, and
      # override the puma behaviour.
