//! Process plumbing the rest of the app must not reimplement: tree termination
//! (taking a spawned child *and its descendants* down) and bounded,
//! kill-on-timeout subprocess execution.
//!
//! Every tree we manage is spawned as a process-group leader (the exec tool's
//! foreground path uses a `setsid` pre_exec — a new *session*, whose leader is
//! also a group leader, so the child additionally loses the controlling
//! terminal; `mode=background` uses `setsid(1)`; mermaid-managed servers use
//! `process_group(0)`; Windows kills the tree by pid via `taskkill /T`).
//! Terminating the whole group reaches a grandchild that a bare
//! per-pid signal would orphan — the bug this module centralizes the fix for: the
//! Esc-cancel path already group-killed, but the foreground timeout, the
//! Ctrl+B-detached cleanup, and the daemon's `/stop`/`/restart` each signalled a
//! single pid.
//!
//! Unix sends to BOTH the group (`-pid`) and the bare pid, so a process that
//! turned out not to be a group leader (e.g. a `mode=background` launch on a host
//! without `setsid`) is still killed directly rather than missed entirely.
//!
//! Callers pick the grace: `Immediate` (Esc-cancel / timeout, which want the
//! fastest possible teardown) or `Graceful` (`/stop`, background cleanup, which
//! give the tree a beat to exit cleanly before the SIGKILL).
//!
//! The bounded-execution half (`output_with_timeout`, `write_stdin_with_timeout`)
//! exists because `std::process` has no deadline primitive: `Command::output()`
//! and `wait()` block until the child chooses to exit. Callers that shell out to
//! helpers which can wedge indefinitely — clipboard tools waiting on a hung
//! selection owner, PowerShell on a cold or broken CLR — use these to turn a
//! potential permanent hang into a bounded stall plus an error.

/// **Not `DETACHED_PROCESS` (0x8).** That flag is the intuitive choice and it
