Review found the shared observation defeated the very fence it fed: it carries the original PID-to-start-time pairing forward, so a recycled PID still matches it and takes a signal meant for the process that exited. Capturing it outside the per-member try also let one failed read abort a whole teardown round, breaking the synchronous host-exit contract, and an empty round paid a read for no members. signalProcess now reads ProcessInspector.isAlive immediately before delivering, from the narrowest per-identity source each platform offers; signalMembers and waitForMembers return before capturing when a round has no members. snapshot() keeps serving the readiness poll, whose per-poll table read stays at one. Windows enumerates Toolhelp32 lazily on the first tree question, so a snapshot asked only for liveness — the 25 ms teardown poll — performs no table walk at all.

subprocess/ — subprocess capability family

Summary
Every child process and terminal session the harness runs — bash commands, language servers, persistent shells, and out-of-process subagent backends — starts, observes, and terminates through one shared service (ctx.subprocess), with a local provider running them on the host machine. It is not a standalone product feature: the consuming capability seams decide what each process means, and command semantics, deadlines, and model-facing presentation stay with them. The group provides executable lookup, bounded output capture with spill recovery, whole-tree termination, and a scrubbed starting environment for every child.
Table of Contents
Packages
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
subprocess |
Defines the child-process service: executable lookup, managed process spawns, and real terminal sessions | ctx.subprocess |
subprocess-local |
Runs those process and terminal spawns on the host machine | registers on ctx.subprocess |
win32-process |
Owns the shared Win32 bindings for restricted process creation, stdio, Job assignment, waits, and handle cleanup | library — no ctx key |
The service keeps process lifetime across consumer reloads; consumers own what a process means (a bash command, a language server) and every default that shapes one.
