Windows cached task hangs after first compound command when stdio pipe remains open #485

Description

@kazupon

Summary

On Windows, a cached vp run task can hang after the first command in a compound script has completed, before the next && command starts.

This was reproduced with a script shape similar to:

{
  "scripts": {
    "test": "cargo test -p ox_mf2_parser --all-targets --color always && vp test"
  }
}

Reproduction

Repro repo: https://github.com/kazupon/vite-task-windows-issue-1
(cause repo: https://github.com/intlify/intlify)

In GitHub Actions, the normal cached Windows run hangs, while the Windows --no-cache control run completes successfully.

Observed behavior

The cached run prints and completes the cargo test output, but never prints or starts the following $ vp test command.

Process snapshots show only the vpr / vp / node runner process tree remaining. No cargo, rustc, or vitest process remains. At workflow cleanup, GitHub Actions reports an orphaned vctip process.

Expected behavior

After the direct child process for the first command exits, the runner should observe completion and continue to the next && command, even if a descendant temporarily keeps stdout/stderr handles open.

Suspected cause

The cached execution path drains piped stdout/stderr before awaiting the direct child process. On Windows, if a descendant keeps an inherited pipe handle open, EOF never arrives, so the runner never reaches child wait or Windows Job Object cleanup.
