Overview

FA1001: Subprocess lifecycle operations that may interfere with the fiber scheduler. Detects subprocess creation, replacement, waiting, detachment, and stream lifecycle operations.

Operations are classified into semantic categories:

  • creation: spawning a new process (info)
  • replacement: replacing the current process via exec (info)
  • waiting: blocking waits for subprocess completion (medium)
  • detach: detaching a subprocess without waiting (info)
  • stream: subprocess pipe/stream lifecycle via IO.popen (medium)

Severity: info for creation/replacement/detach, medium for waits/stream. These are scheduler-cooperation requirements, so execution context does not by itself escalate them to critical.
