I just learned about this. I was under the impression that is just stopped accepting blocks, not a fork more of a shutdown.

Kind of ingenius, actually. It forces people to pay attention to their node. It's like a rust panic.

Is it actually forking the chain?

I haven't had a knots node hit this point but you'll notice when you go to create or confirm a transaction and your node is not synced with the blockchain.

You might not even notice right away if someone is actively exploiting your desynced node.

I think a better design would be to have the node crash when time runs out. This brings the problem to the node runners' attention without opening an exploit.
