jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 4.8 2953207960 ci(soak): abrupt-death ConPTY orphan probe (the failure-mode the clean soak misses)
The clean-path soak found no leak on windows-latest — because orderly close()
reaps every host. That never exercises the freeze hypothesis (T-424), which is
the parent dying WITHOUT teardown while a child is live.

This probe does. conpty_orphan_probe.dart starts N real WindowsPty sessions on
long-lived children and blocks WITHOUT ever calling close(); soak-conpty-kill.ps1
force-kills only the dart.exe parent (taskkill /F, no /T) once the hosts are up
and counts the conhost/OpenConsole/cmd processes that SURVIVE. Absent a
kill-on-close Job Object, abrupt parent death should orphan them — a survivor
count that climbs across cycles is the leak signature. The same probe will prove
the T-424 fix: with the job, survivors should drop to ~0.

Wired as a second job in windows-soak.yml (workflow_dispatch + when the kit
changes). Diagnostic only, never a gate, always exits 0; publishes the verdict
to the job summary and uploads the CSV. Not part of the regular test suite.

# ConPTY orphan-leak soak on a GitHub-hosted Windows runner — the cheap
# alternative to a dedicated Windows VM. The freeze hypothesis (T-424) is that
# each WindowsPty.start() leaks its conhost/OpenConsole host because the child
# is not in a kill-on-close Job Object; across many runs those hosts pile up
# until the box starves. tools/windows-verify/soak-conpty.ps1 reproduces that
# WITHOUT crashing: it runs the ConPTY suite many times IN ONE job and counts
# the hosts that survive each dart.exe exit. A throwaway runner is fine — we
# watch the accumulation (the leading indicator), not the reboot. The repeated
# runs happen inside this single job, so the leak can build up here even though
# the runner is discarded afterwards (cf. the note in windows.yml, which only
# runs the suite once).
#
# Diagnostic, never a gate: it always exits 0 and just publishes the verdict +
# CSV. Runs on demand (workflow_dispatch) and when the soak kit itself changes.
