//! `AsyncRead` + `AsyncWrite` adapter for a child process's stdio.
//!
//! [`ChildStdio`] bundles a [`tokio::process::Child`]'s [`ChildStdin`]
//! and [`ChildStdout`] into a single object that implements both
//! [`AsyncRead`] and [`AsyncWrite`].  This is exactly the bring-your-own-
//! transport surface [`russh::client::connect_stream`] expects, so a
//! `ChildStdio` can be handed directly to russh as the SSH transport
//! when honoring `ProxyCommand`.
//!
//! # Lifecycle
//!
//! Dropping a [`ChildStdio`] best-effort-kills the child via
//! [`Child::start_kill`].  The reaper picks up the corpse asynchronously;
//! `Drop` does not block.  This matters for the failure path: if the
//! SSH handshake errors out mid-stream, the runtime drops the
//! `ChildStdio`, and a hung `ssh -W` proxy gets a SIGTERM rather than
//! lingering as a zombie.  See the unit test for the
//! "child ignores SIGTERM" sanity check.
//!
//! # Pin / projection
//!
//! Both [`ChildStdin`] and [`ChildStdout`] are [`Unpin`], so the manual
//! `AsyncRead` / `AsyncWrite` impls project safely via `Pin::new(&mut
//! self.field)` — no `unsafe`, no [`pin_project`] dep.  The S3 invariant
//! (`#![forbid(unsafe_code)]`) is preserved.
