//! The [`ProcessRunner`] seam and its real implementations.
//!
//! The seam covers both shapes of a run: [`ProcessRunner::output_string`] (a finished
//! [`ProcessResult`]) and [`ProcessRunner::start`] (a live [`RunningProcess`]
//! for streaming/probes). A [`ScriptedRunner`](crate::testing::ScriptedRunner) fakes
//! both — its `start` hands back a scripted handle that feeds canned lines
//! through the same pump machinery a real child uses.
