Prevent and recover orphaned child processes, concurrent writers, and post-timeout output corruption on Windows. Use when a PowerShell harness launches long-running Python, Node, benchmark, model, build, or test processes; when a tool timeout or terminal close may kill only the parent shell; or when output files change after a command was reported terminated.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Windows Child Process Lifecycle Treat the actual child process tree, not the parent shell result, as the lifecycle authority. ## Before launch 1. Use one foreground process for a single-writer workflow. 2. Give the outer command a timeout longer than the expected child runtime. Prefer a yielded/waitable execution cell for long jobs. 3. Store resumable checkpoints outside the authoritative output directory. 4. Write authoritative outputs only after full validation; keep partial results in checkpoints. 5. Bind checkpoints to code/config/freeze hashes so changed implementations cannot silently reuse stale rows. ## After timeout, cancellation, or terminal loss 1. Do not immediately relaunch. 2. Query `Win32_Process` by the distinctive command line and inspect PID, parent PID, creation time, CPU time, and working set. 3. Exclude the current diagnostic PowerShell process from matches. 4. If a child remains, declare it the sole writer and monitor it read-only. Do not start another writer. 5. Check progress through structural metadata only: checkpoint modification time, file size, unique successful identity count, and freeze hash. Avoid printing payloads or secrets. …

How to install
mdr add jinning6/noosphere/windows-child-process-lifecycle@sha256:e4eceaf89fb82a01The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260715.10fc9a0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
