Research direction

Start with tests/by-util/test_timeout.rs around test_forward_sigint_to_child at lines 273-287, then inspect the linked CI failure and the timeout command shown in the log. Reproduce the test on the affected macOS environment and trace why stdout can omit "got_int". Done means the intermittent failure is understood and the test reliably verifies SIGINT forwarding.
