Issue for this PR

Closes #30001

Related to #35543. This PR also coalesces metadata updates and uses a bounded trailing-output drain.

Type of change

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Refactor / code improvement
  • Documentation

What does this PR do?

The shell tool currently awaits ctx.metadata for every decoded output chunk. For chatty commands, pipe chunking therefore controls durable update frequency, and process exit can win before trailing pipe output is consumed.

This change consumes output immediately, publishes the newest cumulative preview at most every 100 ms, then allows 100 ms for trailing output and performs a final flush before returning. The cumulative metadata.output contract is unchanged.

How did you verify your code works?

  • bun test test/tool/shell.test.ts: 26 pass
  • bun typecheck
  • 80 paced writes: 2.7x-3.7x fewer metadata updates and 8%-23% lower runtime depending on simulated metadata sink cost
  • Patched output was complete in 18/18 runs; baseline lost final output in 11/12 delayed-sink runs

The following comment was made by an LLM, it may be inaccurate:

Based on my search, I found several related PRs that touch on shell output handling:

Potentially Related PRs:

  1. fix(app): show shell output while a command runs #37097 - fix(app): show shell output while a command runs

    • Related to shell output visibility during execution, which is connected to your metadata update batching logic
  2. fix: normalize carriage-return shell output #36684 - fix: normalize carriage-return shell output

    • Addresses shell output formatting, potentially affected by your chunking changes
  3. fix(shell): drain stdout before reading output to avoid "(no output)" on exit 0 #35543 - fix(shell): drain stdout before reading output to avoid "(no output)" on exit 0

    • Directly relevant: addresses the exact problem you're solving (trailing output being lost before the final read)

The most closely related is #35543, which also handles the edge case of output loss at process exit. Your PR extends this solution with batching and timing controls to prevent output loss in high-volume scenarios.

No exact duplicates found, but #35543 may need consideration for interaction with your changes.
