When does this happen?

IF Supervisord fails to parse /etc/supervisor/conf.d/supervisord.conf due to newline characters in the configuration file, causing container startup failure.

How others solved it

THEN Ensure the supervisord.conf file has no stray newline characters within entries. Escape or remove trailing newlines inside quoted strings. Validate the configuration with a parser before building the Docker image. The fix removes or properly escapes the newlines to make the config valid.

In supervisord.conf, avoid raw newlines inside command strings. Use \
 or break lines with backslash-newline only where intended. Example:
[program:myapp]
command=python /app/run.py  # No trailing newline inside this line
