Exit when stdout is a broken pipe

[Hashim1999164]

Fixes #8458

sites:list kept running after the reader closed the pipe, then the crash handler spawned envinfo over and over.

Writes now treat EPIPE as a normal stop and skip the crash report.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • CLI commands now exit cleanly when their output is piped to a process that closes the stream early.
  • Broken-pipe errors no longer produce unnecessary error messages or nonzero exit codes.
  • Standard output and error handling now consistently manages closed output streams.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for common broken-pipe conditions and clean CLI termination.

Walkthrough

The CLI now recognizes EPIPE and ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED during output. Output helpers exit with status 0 for these errors and rethrow other errors. Standard output and error streams use dedicated broken-pipe handlers. Uncaught broken-pipe exceptions exit before generic exception handling. Unit tests cover detection and logging behavior.

Explanation

The PR also adds getRequestUserAgent and tests its agent-detection behavior. The linked issue [#8458] concerns broken-pipe termination and process leakage. The user-agent behavior has no demonstrated connection to that objective.

🟡 Minor · Restrict ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED handling to known stdio errors. · command-helpers.ts:162-179

src/utils/command-helpers.ts:162-179
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restrict ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED handling to known stdio errors.

src/commands/main.ts applies isBrokenPipe to every error received by the global uncaughtException handler. That handler has no stream identity, so an uncaught ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED from an internal stream may call process.exit(0) and bypass crash reporting. Keep the check for the process.stdout and process.stderr error listeners, but do not apply it globally without a known stdio source.

In `@src/utils/command-helpers.ts` around lines 162 - 179, Update isBrokenPipe and
its callers so ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED is treated as a broken pipe only for known
process.stdout or process.stderr error events, while preserving EPIPE handling.
Ensure the global uncaughtException path in the relevant command flow does not
classify an error without stream identity as a broken pipe, preventing unrelated
internal stream failures from exiting successfully; keep writeOrExit’s stdio
handling intact.
