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