Description
Hi there! It's not an issue but rather a question.
I'm working on a CLI app that runs several tasks, and a few of them require user interaction (using Symfony IO or Laravel Prompt) during execution. How can I forward the input from the child process to the main stdout and receive feedback in the child processes? Thanks

Research direction
The issue mentions Symfony IO, Laravel Prompt, child processes, and the main stdout, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the library's child-process communication and output-handling APIs; the work would need a defined interaction model and a reproducible test showing input and feedback crossing the process boundary.
