Enhance pty utils: * Support closing stdin * Separate stderr and stdout streams to allow consumers differentiate them * Provide compatibility helper to merge both streams back into combined one * Support specifying terminal size for pty, including on-demand resizes while process is already running * Support terminating the process while still consuming its outputs

codex-utils-pty
Lightweight helpers for spawning interactive processes either under a PTY (pseudo terminal) or regular pipes. The public API is minimal and mirrors both backends so callers can switch based on their needs (e.g., enabling or disabling TTY).

Usage examples
use std::collections::HashMap;
use std::path::Path;
use codex_utils_pty::combine_output_receivers;
use codex_utils_pty::spawn_pty_process;
use codex_utils_pty::TerminalSize;
# tokio_test::block_on(async {
let env_map: HashMap<String, String> = std::env::vars().collect();
let spawned = spawn_pty_process(
"bash",
&["-lc".into(), "echo hello".into()],
Path::new("."),
&env_map,
&None,
TerminalSize::default(),
).await?;
let writer = spawned.session.writer_sender();
writer.send(b"exit\n".to_vec()).await?;
// Collect output until the process exits.
let mut output_rx = combine_output_receivers(spawned.stdout_rx, spawned.stderr_rx);
let mut collected = Vec::new();
while let Ok(chunk) = output_rx.try_recv() {
collected.extend_from_slice(&chunk);
}
let exit_code = spawned.exit_rx.await.unwrap_or(-1);
# let _ = (collected, exit_code);
# anyhow::Ok(())
# });
Swap in spawn_pipe_process for a non-TTY subprocess; the rest of the API stays the same.
Use spawn_pipe_process_no_stdin to force stdin closed (commands that read stdin will see EOF immediately).
Tests
Unit tests live in src/lib.rs and cover both backends (PTY Python REPL and pipe-based stdin roundtrip). Run with:
cargo test -p codex-utils-pty -- --nocapture
