From d3011212929d965904cdc1f5208cbd10cf300127 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Flavio S. Glock" Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 21:58:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix: preserve buffered Open3 pipe data before EOF Make ProcessInputHandle EOF synchronize with the asynchronous reader buffer instead of peeking the underlying stream. This prevents Open3 consumers from dropping buffered stdout and stderr or blocking while a child awaits stdin. Add regression coverage for buffered EOF, handler short-circuiting, stdin closure, and child reaping on both output pipes.
