Research direction

Start with the asyncio subprocess component and reproduce the behavior described in issue 36805, where closing stdin also closes a subprocess stream. Trace the relevant stream lifecycle and add or locate coverage for the case; done means the stream is not closed as a side effect of closing stdin.
