Redesign the standard library's
processpackage soProcessMonitordetects a child's exit from a native per-platform operating-system event, not from its output pipes reaching end-of-file.The pipe-based model can't distinguish a child's exit from a pipe that something else still holds open, so it reports the exit late or never and the program hangs. Detecting the exit directly also closes a kill-after-reap race and a file-descriptor leak on a failed start.
The design was worked out in ponylang/ponyc#5769, with a working implementation in ponylang/ponyc#5770.
