The README says the provider also keeps a failed or timed-out first probe and names the user manager as reachable rather than live, since it is checked once. The probe cache documents why no later spawn repeats the probe, and the spawn test now starts two Windows commands to match its per-spawn Job recheck title.

Summary
Every child process and terminal session the harness runs — bash commands, language servers, persistent shells, and out-of-process subagent backends — is started, observed, and terminated through one shared service (ctx.subprocess), with a local provider running them on the host machine. It is not a standalone product feature: the consuming capability seams decide what each process means, and command semantics, deadlines, and model-facing presentation stay with them. The group provides executable lookup, bounded output capture with spill recovery, provider-managed process ranges with disclosed weaker fallbacks, and a scrubbed starting environment for every child.
Table of Contents
Packages
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
subprocess |
Defines the child-process service: executable lookup, managed process spawns, and real terminal sessions | ctx.subprocess |
subprocess-local |
Runs host processes and terminals with native managed ranges where supported and explicit weaker fallbacks elsewhere | registers on ctx.subprocess |
win32-process |
Owns shared Win32 bindings for sandbox and ordinary process creation, stdio, Job assignment, polling, waits, and handle cleanup | library — no ctx key |
The service keeps process lifetime across consumer reloads; consumers own what a process means (a bash command, a language server) and every default that shapes one.
