Node process hangs during `import('process')` if a sibling process reads from `stdin` and `stdin` is piped to a parent process

Version

All versions, tested on v12 through v23.6.0

Platform

Windows 10 and 11

What steps will reproduce the bug?

Launching a process tree like the following causes grandchild2 to hang (cannot attach Node inspector, no JS code executes) after calling import('process') (which never resolves, unless its sibling grandchild1 exits):

  main.js - launches child with piped stdin
    middle.js - launches children with inherited stdin
      grandchild1.js - attaches a listener to stdin
      (1s later) grandchild2.js - imports node:process and then hangs

Example code:

main.js

require('child_process').spawn('node', ['middle.js'], { stdio: ['pipe', 'inherit', 'inherit'] });

middle.js

const { spawn } = require('child_process');

spawn('node', ['grandchild1.js'], { stdio: 'inherit' });
// Note: this also works: spawn('cmd', ['/c', 'pause'], { stdio: 'inherit' });

setTimeout(function () {
  spawn('node', ['grandchild2.js'], { stdio: 'inherit' });
}, 1000);

grandchild1.js

process.stdin.on('data', console.log);

grandchild2.js

import('process').then(function (mod) {
  console.log('import(node:process) completed'); // this line is never executed
});

console.log(process.pid, `grandchild2 started - if you don't see "not stuck" below, it's stuck`);
setInterval(function () {
  console.log(process.pid, 'not stuck');
}, 1000);

Example repo with the above code (plus a bit more logging): https://github.com/Jimbly/node-stdin-hang-bug-demo

Tested on (all fail):

• Node v12...v22
• Windows 10, 11

Works fine on Linux, MacOS, presumably all non-Windows platforms.

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always (on Windows).

Additional information

Hang does not occur if any of these happen:

• grandchild1 is launched before grandchild2
• middle's stdin is not piped to main
• grandchild1's or grandchild2's stdin is not inherit
• grandchild1 exits (causes grandchild2 to get unstuck)

Hang still occurs if:

• grandchild1 is anything that reads from stdio (e.g. cmd /c pause)

The hung process's (native) call stack is:

先在 Windows 上运行链接的 node-stdin-hang-bug-demo 复现。然后以报告的 native stack 为起点，跟踪通过 deps/uv/src/win/pipe.c、src/pipe_wrap.cc 和 src/module_wrap.cc 的交互。完成的标准是 sibling stdin 场景不再挂起，并且 import('process') 完成，同时复现仍然能够正确运行。
