🎯 Changes

Fixes #1292 .

spawnProcess has no error listener to child.stdin. Node reports a failed write twice. It calls the write callback, and it also emits an error event on the socket. An unhandled error event throws, and that exception stops the host process.

This PR adds en error listener to child.stdin in spawnProcess.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented uncaught errors when writing to a local process after it closes its standard input.
    • Writes now report the expected EPIPE error without interrupting the host process.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage verifying safe handling of closed process input streams on POSIX systems.
    • Improved test cleanup to ensure local processes are stopped even when assertions fail.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds an error listener to child process stdin, preserves EPIPE write rejection, improves test cleanup, and records a patch release.

Changes

Child process stdin error handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Handle and validate closed stdin writes
packages/ai-sandbox-local-process/src/handle.ts, packages/ai-sandbox-local-process/tests/local-process.test.ts, .changeset/local-process-stdin-error-listener.md
spawnProcess listens for child stdin errors. The POSIX regression test verifies EPIPE rejection and always destroys the sandbox. A patch changeset documents the fix.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 58614

This localized change prevents a closed child-process stdin from crashing the host while preserving the existing write failure behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Comment thread packages/ai-sandbox-local-process/tests/local-process.test.ts Outdated
A failed assertion or a failed stdout wait skipped the teardown, so the
`sleep 30` child and its sandbox survived the test. Measured on a failing
run: two host processes remained. `kill-tree.test.ts` already states this
rule for the same construct.

`destroy()` kills the process tree unconditionally, so the explicit
`proc.kill()` is redundant and goes.
