Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the pipeline thread consumer and tracing its existing Ctrl+C cancellation path; clarify which cancellation and monitoring behavior is required before changing it. Done should include an agreed approach for preventing a long-running task from starving the consumer.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Because the pipeline thread consumer is single-threaded and runs tasks sequentially, there's the real possibility that a single bad task could starve it.
For now, Ctrl+C should cancel whatever task is running. This may indeed include background tasks...
But some ideas for improving this are:
- A key-chord to cancel/unblock the pipeline thread when something other than console input is being run
- A monitor thread to supervise the pipeline thread that:
- Logs when tasks drag on
- Alerts users to long running tasks
- Allows cancellation
- Can completely reset the main runspace...
