- **Named pipes:** overlapped `ConnectNamedPipe`/`ReadFile`/`WriteFile`. This is the `pipe_listen`/`pipe_connect` transport (Node IPC uses named pipes on Windows).
- **Stdio that isn't overlapped** (a handle inherited as a synchronous pipe or file): a dedicated reader thread per handle that posts completions. It isn't possible to reopen such a handle overlapped. libuv does the same.
- **Console/TTY:** `ReadConsoleInputW` on a reader thread, with VT input and output modes (`ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING`/`_INPUT`). Resize events become a `Signal::WinCh` completion; Perry has no resize support on Windows today (`tty.rs:9–12`).
- **Processes:** `CreateProcessW` with overlapped pipe handles, a Job Object for kill-tree semantics, and `RegisterWaitForSingleObject` on the process handle to post the exit completion.
- **Processes:** `CreateProcessW` with overlapped pipe handles, a Job Object for kill-tree semantics, and `RegisterWaitForSingleObject` on the process handle to post the exit completion. Descriptors beyond stdin/stdout/stderr are published through the C run-time inherited-descriptor block in `STARTUPINFOW.lpReserved2` (count, per-descriptor flags from `GetFileType`, then the handles), plus `PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST`. That is libuv's and Node's own convention, so a child descriptor number — `NODE_CHANNEL_FD=3` — means the same thing here as it does under Node. A child that does not use the C run-time inherits the handles but has no number for them.
- **Signals:** `SetConsoleCtrlHandler` for CTRL_C, CTRL_BREAK and CTRL_CLOSE, mapped to `SIGINT`/`SIGBREAK`/`SIGHUP`. SIGTERM has no console equivalent; documented as such, matching Perry today (`os/signal.rs:441–531`).
- **Wake:** `PostQueuedCompletionStatus` with a reserved completion key.
- **Timer precision:** the default system tick is about 15.6 ms and `GetQueuedCompletionStatusEx` timeouts round to it. Use a **high-resolution waitable timer** (`CREATE_WAITABLE_TIMER_HIGH_RESOLUTION`, Windows 10 1803+) armed to the next deadline and associated with the port through dynamically resolved `NtAssociateWaitCompletionPacket`. `GetQueuedCompletionStatusEx` is nonalertable. Cancellation returning `STATUS_PENDING` requires dequeuing the generation-tagged timer packet before reuse. M1 prototyped both APC and NT packet routes; §15 question 3 records the NT packet decision and measured lateness. `timeBeginPeriod` is not an acceptable default because it changes the tick system-wide.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Capture the collect deadline before the wait loop.

until is recomputed on every iteration, so assert!(l.now() < until) can never fail. If a child stops answering, or a completion is lost, the inner loop spins without a bound and the test hangs instead of failing after 10 seconds. Capture the deadline once, as the exit and teardown loops in this test already do.

🐛 Proposed fix

         let mut filled = 0;
+        let until = l.now() + Duration::from_secs(10);
         while filled < want.len() {
             l.read(h, ReadBuf::Pooled, Token(70)).expect("read");

-                assert!(l.now() < until);

Capture the collect deadline once before entering the wait loop, rather than
recomputing until from l.now() on each iteration. Use that fixed deadline for
the loop’s timeout assertion and preserve the existing completion and teardown
behavior.
