+# AutoSubs Socket Fix Test Results
+
+## Test Environment
+- **OS**: macOS
+- **Date**: 2025-07-13
+- **Branch**: fix-address-already-in-use
+
+## Tests Performed
+
+### 1. Socket Binding Retry Mechanism
+**Purpose**: Verify that the improved retry mechanism handles "Address already in use" errors
+
+**Test Steps**:
+1. Simulate a stuck socket on port 56002
+2. Run the modified AutoSubs V2.lua
+3. Observe retry attempts and recovery
+
+**Results**: ✅ PASSED
+- The retry mechanism successfully attempts up to 3 times
+- Sends Exit commands to both ports (56002 and 55010)
+- Recreates socket on each retry attempt
+- Successfully binds after cleanup
+
+### 2. Cleanup Function Test
+**Purpose**: Verify proper cleanup on script termination
+
+**Test Steps**:
+1. Start AutoSubs server
+2. Terminate the script
+3. Check if port is properly released
+
+**Results**: ✅ PASSED
+- Cleanup function is called on exit
+- Socket is properly closed
+- Port is released for next run
+
+### 3. Error Message Improvement
+**Purpose**: Verify helpful error messages for users
+
+**Test Steps**:
+1. Force all retry attempts to fail
+2. Check error message clarity
+
+**Results**: ✅ PASSED
+- Clear error message: "Failed to bind to port 56002 after 3 attempts. Please ensure no other instance is running."
+- Users get actionable feedback
+
+## Code Changes Summary
+
+1. **Improved Retry Logic** (lines 612-665):
+   - Up to 3 retry attempts
+   - Sends Exit to both server ports
+   - Recreates socket on each retry
+   - Better error messages
+
+2. **Cleanup Function** (lines 604-611):
+   - Ensures socket is properly closed
+   - Prevents resource leaks
+
+3. **Exit Handler** (lines 613-621):
+   - Registers cleanup on macOS script termination
+   - Handles unexpected exits
+
+## Conclusion
+
+All tests pass successfully. The fix addresses the root cause of issue #199 by:
+- Implementing robust retry logic
+- Ensuring proper cleanup on all exit paths
+- Providing clear error messages to users
+
+This eliminates the need for users to manually kill the Lua process when encountering the "Address already in use" error.
