Hi - i took a brief look and it doesn't look like we can access the
signal that was handled via the signal.NotifyContext() function call?
It could be useful for logging messages.

I don't think the current API provides that functionality.

In the original proposal for signal.NotifyContext, there were several discussions, including related to what features the new API should provide. The consensus was that if a user wants to make a decision base on the signal caught, they should use "signal.Notify", as the low-level API, which allows that (refer to this issue https://github.com/golang/go/issues/37255).
