Research direction

Reproduce the crash from the issue’s async.uv.fs_stat and plenary.job Job:new(...):sync() calls, using the supplied Neovim and Linux context. Start by isolating those two entry points and confirm the SIGABRT; done means the combined async function completes without crashing while preserving the reported output.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The following causes neovim to crash when hitting f12:

function test()
    local async = require('plenary.async')
    local Job = require('plenary.job')
    print("Test")
    local e,t = async.uv.fs_stat("/tmp")
    print(vim.inspect(e))
    print(vim.inspect(t))
    local output, code = Job:new({command = "/bin/echo", args = {"Hello"}}):sync()
    print(vim.inspect(code))
    print(vim.inspect(output))
    print("EndTest")
end
vim.keymap.set("n", "<f12>", async.void(test))

It works fine without the call to fs_stat, or without the Job, but with both nvim crashes (SIGABRT).
Using NVIM v0.7.0-dev+1292-ge9b53f3fb on linux.
