- Line 332: Update execSync termination around libc::kill and Child::kill to
terminate the entire child process tree, not only the shell process, before
joining output readers. Create and track a Unix process group and signal the
group; use the platform-equivalent tree termination mechanism on Windows. Add
max-buffer and timeout regression coverage for shell pipelines, runnable with
RUST_TEST_THREADS=1.

Terminate the complete child process tree before joining output readers.
When execSync() runs a shell pipeline, libc::kill and Child::kill terminate only the /bin/sh or cmd process. Descendants can retain the output pipe, so cp_join_piped_output can block indefinitely after a maxBuffer or timeout failure.
Create a process group on Unix and terminate the group. Use the equivalent process-tree mechanism on Windows. Add max-buffer and timeout regressions for a shell pipeline. Run them with RUST_TEST_THREADS=1.

Two concrete
child_processparity rows in #9202 still differed from Node:execFile()exposed Perry's internal PATH-resolved executable inChildProcess.spawnfileinstead of the spelling supplied by the caller;maxBufferfailures inferredSIGTERMfrom the API shape after the child had already completed, so short commands lost their real exit status.Pass the public
execFilespelling separately from the resolved launch path. For synchronous execution, drain stdout and stderr concurrently, detect the buffer crossing while the child is live, and preserve the real status when it has already exited.Advances #9202.
