+### Cross-Platform Testing
+
+**CRITICAL**: This project must work on both Unix (macOS/Linux) and Windows. For any cross-platform features:
+
+1. **No Platform Skipping**: Skipping tests on either platform is **UNACCEPTABLE**
+   - Use `#[cfg(unix)]` and `#[cfg(windows)]` for platform-specific code within tests
+   - Both platforms must execute the test and verify the feature works correctly
+   - If a feature can't work on a platform, it shouldn't be added
+
+2. **Windows Cross-Testing from macOS**:
+   ```bash
+   # Test on Windows (aarch64) from macOS via cross-compilation
+   cargo xtest --builder cargo-xwin --target aarch64-pc-windows-msvc -p <package> --test <test>
+
+   # Examples:
+   cargo xtest --builder cargo-xwin --target aarch64-pc-windows-msvc -p vite_pty --test terminal
+   cargo xtest --builder cargo-xwin --target aarch64-pc-windows-msvc -p vite_pty --test terminal -- resize_terminal
+   ```
+
+3. **Cross-Platform Test Design Patterns**:
+   - Use conditional compilation for platform-specific setup/assertions
+   - Use cross-platform libraries for common operations (e.g., `terminal_size` for terminal dimensions)
+   - Verify platform-specific behavior works as expected:
+     - **Unix**: SIGWINCH signals, ioctl, /dev/null, etc.
+     - **Windows**: ConPTY, GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo, NUL, etc.
+
+4. **Example**: The `vite_pty::resize_terminal` test demonstrates proper cross-platform testing:
+   - Unix: Installs SIGWINCH handler to verify signal delivery
+   - Windows: Acknowledges synchronous ConPTY resize behavior
+   - Both: Query terminal size using cross-platform `terminal_size` crate
+   - Both: Verify resize actually works and returns correct dimensions

+### Cross-Platform Requirements
+
+**All code must work on both Unix and Windows without platform skipping:**
+
+- Use `#[cfg(unix)]` / `#[cfg(windows)]` for platform-specific implementations
+- Always test on both platforms (use `cargo xtest` for Windows cross-compilation)
+- Platform differences should be handled gracefully, not skipped
+- Document platform-specific behavior in code comments
+
 ## Path Type System
 
 - **Type Safety**: All paths use typed `vite_path` instead of `std::path`

+# subprocess_test
+
+Provides the `command_for_fn!` macro for running functions in separate processes during tests.
+
+This crate is shared by both `fspy` and `vite_*` crates, so it uses no prefix.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use `command_for_fn!`, you need to add `ctor` as a dependency (usually dev-dependency for tests):
+
+```toml
+[dev-dependencies]
+ctor = { workspace = true }
+subprocess_test = { workspace = true }
+```
+
+Then use the macro in your tests:
+
+```rust
+use subprocess_test::command_for_fn;
+
+let cmd = command_for_fn!(42u32, |arg: u32| {
+    println!("{}", arg);
+});
+
+// Convert to std::process::Command and execute
+let output = std::process::Command::from(cmd).output().unwrap();
+```
