pipe.rs

1//! Async pipe-based process spawning with unified handle interface.
2//!
3//! This module provides helpers for spawning non-interactive processes using
4//! regular pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr, with proper process group management
5//! for reliable cleanup.
6//!
7//! Inspired by codex-rs/utils/pty pipe spawning patterns.
