Research direction

Start with the SingleNodeExecutor documentation in src/executorlib/executor/single.py at the linked section, then inspect the wait handling in src/executorlib/standalone/inputcheck.py. Determine whether wait is intended to be supported; the issue is done when the documented parameter and accepted behavior agree.

Description

bug

From the docs of SingleNodeExecutor https://github.com/pyiron/executorlib/blob/3ef0ba9b40c16d3f2f28e30cb67de399517dbba1/src/executorlib/executor/single.py#L64 I expected it to support the wait parameter

However, when I try to use it, I hit
https://github.com/pyiron/executorlib/blob/3ef0ba9b40c16d3f2f28e30cb67de399517dbba1/src/executorlib/standalone/inputcheck.py#L28
