Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
Some processes create *. files in the filesystem, thus it might be useful to know the pid of the completed process when the user needs to process these files after termination of the process.

Research direction
Start by reading the subprocess.run entry point and the CompletedProcess object it returns. Trace how the child process is launched and reaped, including platform-specific behavior. Done means subprocess.run returns the completed process ID consistently and coverage verifies the new attribute.
