would be nice to have a foreground argument for termux-microphone-record, currently it runs in the background once invoked?

Research direction

Start with the termux-microphone-record entry point and inspect how it currently invokes recording and returns immediately. Check whether the requested foreground behavior is accessible through the Android API; done means a foreground argument keeps recording attached to the command so it can support piping to stdout.
