git_policy_cli/bounded_push.rs
1//! What:
2//! Run the auto-push's real `git push` with a deadline,
3//! and derive the wait limits the push coordination uses.
4//! Why:
5//! A push whose connection stalls would otherwise hold the branch's push lock forever,
6//! and every later commit on that branch would wait behind it.
7//! The push is stopped when its deadline passes,
8//! the commit stays saved locally,
9//! and the failure is recorded like any other failed push.
10//!
11//! In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
12//! ```ts
13//! const { exitCode, output } = await nanoSpawn(gitPath, pushArgs, { cwd, signal: AbortSignal.timeout(deadlineMs) });
14//! ```
