[AW Top 10] 05 Bound Windows CLI integration output draining #72345
Description
Priority 5/10 | 2 source issues | Impact 2/5 | Confidence 4/5 | Effort 1/5
One assignment, one coherent fix
The Windows integration helper bounds the process wait but not the stdout and stderr drains, so an inherited pipe can hang the job. Two duplicate reports describe the same helper.
Implementation scope
Change the CLI invocation helper in the Windows integration workflow to read output with a bounded wait after process exit and to print captured output when the drain times out.
Done when
- A held inherited pipe causes a diagnosed timeout instead of a hang.
- Captured stdout and stderr are printed on a drain timeout.
- Normal runs behave as before.
Why now
Two reports independently identify the same unbounded synchronous reads. Impact is limited to Windows integration runs but hangs consume runner time.
AW source issues and corroborating reports
No corroborating AW discussion; evidence comes from the source issues.
Unchanged AW sources close only after this summary is completed. Newer source activity and not-planned retirement do not trigger source closure. Assigned summaries are frozen; unassign to allow reclustering.
