fix: resolve local-process wait after child close

[mikemikimike]

Summary Fixes #1112. @tanstack/ai-sandbox-local-process subscribed to the child process close event only when wait() was called. If stdout was drained first, the child could close before that subscription and wait() would hang forever. This change creates the close/error promise at spawn time and reuses it from wait(). It also adds a regression test that slowly consumes buffered stdout after the child exits. ## Compatibility No API changes. Exit codes and child errors retain their existing behavior; the result is now retained until wait() is called. ## Test plan - pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai-sandbox-local-process... build passed. - pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai-sandbox-local-process test:lib -- tests/local-process.test.ts --run passed: 12 tests (Node.js v22.23.2, pnpm 10.11.1). - pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai-sandbox-local-process test:types passed. - pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai-sandbox-local-process test:oxlint passed. - Full pnpm test:pr and E2E suite were not run; this is a focused provider fix and the full suite is broader than the available local verification scope.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where local processes could remain stuck when a child process exited before wait() was called.
  • Improved process completion handling when output is still being consumed.
  • Ensured all emitted output is received in the correct order during process shutdown.

• Tests

  • Added regression coverage for processes that exit before output consumption finishes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The local process handle captures child completion when the process starts. wait() returns the shared completion promise, including when the child exits before wait() is called. A regression test covers delayed stdout consumption and verifies the exit code and all output lines.

Changes

Local process wait handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Capture child completion and validate delayed wait packages/ai-sandbox-local-process/src/handle.ts, packages/ai-sandbox-local-process/tests/local-process.test.ts, .changeset/fix-local-process-wait.md	spawnProcess creates a shared completion promise for child errors and close status. wait() returns that promise. The regression test delays stdout consumption, checks exit code 0, and confirms all 20 lines are received. The changeset documents the patch release.
