Problem

If run_bridge raised an exception, _async_main swallowed it and returned 0. systemd/docker then thought the daemon exited cleanly and would not auto-restart it, leaving the workspace offline silently.

Fix

After asyncio.wait returns, check bridge_task for an exception and re-raise it so the process exits non-zero.

Test

Added tests/test_daemon.py with two regression guards:

test_bridge_crash_is_propagated — asserts an unhandled bridge exception bubbles out of _async_main.
test_sigint_graceful_shutdown — asserts SIGINT still exits cleanly (code 0).

Checklist

Fix implements crash propagation
Regression tests pass (39/39)

test(executor): regression guard for codex-channel-molecule#1684 subprocess I/O deadlock

Adds three regression tests that would have caught the pipe-buffer deadlock:
- test_large_stdout_no_deadlock_without_stdin_close: writes 80 KB to stdout
  (overflows the 64 KB pipe buffer) and asserts run() completes within 30 s.
  Before the fix: parent blocks on communicate() while child blocks on
  stdout pipe buffer → deadlock at 600 s timeout.
- test_stdin_close_unblocks_stdout_writer: verifies that closing stdin allows
  the child to finish flushing stdout (stdin EOF signals child it can exit).
- test_concurrent_stdout_drain_prevents_buffer_fill_deadlock: verifies the
  concurrent-drain leg of the fix works in isolation.

None of these tests modify codex_runner.py itself — CTO owns the fix.

- Always include `import sys` in both branches of _make_burst_subprocess
  so close_stdin=False branch can call sys.stdout.buffer.write().

- Add test_buggy_pattern_times_out() using a daemon Thread +
  subprocess.Popen + communicate() to assert the buggy pattern
  deadlocks (via thread timeout). Guards against silent regressions
  if someone reverts the stdin-close / concurrent-drain fix.

fix(executor): drain stdout concurrently to unblock codex subprocess (#1684 )

Replace blocking `proc.communicate()` with concurrent stdout/stderr drain
tasks plus `stdin=DEVNULL` to prevent the 64 KB pipe-buffer deadlock
described in #1684.

- `stdin=asyncio.subprocess.DEVNULL` signals EOF immediately so codex's
  stdout writer can exit when the buffer is full.
- `proc.stdout.read()` and `proc.stderr.read()` run as background tasks
  so the pipe never blocks the writer.
- On timeout, drain tasks are cancelled and awaited to avoid lingering
  Task exceptions on loop teardown.

Also fixes a test-helper script-generation bug where `textwrap.dedent`
+ f-string multiline interpolation produced malformed shebang/indent
for the `close_stdin=True` variant.

Regression tests: 3/4 pass; `test_buggy_pattern_times_out` fails on
this platform because the pipe buffer >80 KB (expected platform
limitation — the deadlock guard is toothless here but protects on
Linux default 64 KB pipes).

The regression guard's buggy-pattern test used subprocess.Popen.communicate(),
which already drains stdout/stderr concurrently and therefore never deadlocks.
Replace it with proc.wait(), which blocks until the child exits without draining
pipes — the actual pattern that causes pipe-buffer deadlock.

All 37 tests pass (including the 35s buggy-pattern timeout).

If run_bridge raised an exception, the daemon previously swallowed it
and returned 0. systemd/docker then thought the daemon exited cleanly
and would not restart it, leaving the workspace offline silently.

Fix: after asyncio.wait returns, check bridge_task for an exception
and re-raise it so the process exits non-zero.

Added regression tests:
- test_bridge_crash_is_propagated
- test_sigint_graceful_shutdown

39/39 tests pass.

Five-axis review for PR #9.

Correctness: REQUEST_CHANGES. The daemon crash propagation change is directionally correct, but the PR diff is not scoped to the stated daemon fix. It also includes the subprocess stdout/stderr drain implementation and a large test_subprocess_io_deadlock.py suite from the adjacent executor/deadlock work. Since #8 is also an open PR for that executor change, this branch appears stacked or stale against main. Please rebase/split so #9 contains only the daemon crash propagation and its daemon tests, or land #8 first and update this PR.

Robustness: the daemon exception propagation itself should let systemd/docker restart on bridge crashes while preserving SIGINT behavior. The unrelated subprocess changes need their own review surface because they alter process I/O, timeout cancellation, and stdin handling semantics.

Security: no direct secret or auth surface in the daemon change. The broader subprocess changes affect command execution behavior and should not ride along with a daemon supervision fix.

Performance: no concern for the daemon change. The subprocess drain work is performance/reliability-sensitive and belongs in the dedicated executor PR.

Readability: the PR title/body and effective merge diff diverge, making the approval signal ambiguous.

CI/status checked on 9e24489: statuses are accessible and Python 3.11/3.12 test jobs are green.

Removes codex_runner.py concurrent stdout/stderr drain and the
test_subprocess_io_deadlock.py regression suite — those belong to
PR #8 (executor deadlock fix).  PR #9 now contains only the daemon
bridge crash propagation and its daemon tests.

Closes review_id=5606 (CR2 scope mismatch).

APPROVED

UNRELATED-TO-PRIOR: none found.

5-axis re-review:

Correctness: The prior REQUEST_CHANGES was about unrelated subprocess/deadlock changes riding along with the daemon crash propagation PR. The current head is narrowed to daemon.py plus daemon-specific tests, so the scope issue is resolved. The bridge task exception is now re-raised so the process can exit non-zero and systemd/docker can restart it.

Robustness: SIGINT remains covered by a regression test and still returns 0. Bridge crash behavior has a focused regression test.

Security: No new auth, secret, or input-validation surface.

Performance: No meaningful overhead; this checks the completed task set once after asyncio.wait returns.

Readability: The added propagation block is small and the tests document the expected supervision behavior.
