Docker AsyncProcess can split logs

[MaciejKaszynski]

Description

We have observed some log lines be split into two pytest logs.

In our cpp code we have the log

log.LogFatal() << "clock() at failed initial state transition:"
                           << (static_cast<double>(clock()) / (static_cast<double>(CLOCKS_PER_SEC) / 1000.0)) << "ms";

This then can be seen on the pipeline:
https://github.com/eclipse-score/lifecycle/actions/runs/26170133165/job/76985174099?pr=194#step:5:1680

[2026-05-20 14:47:23.692] [INFO] [launch_manager] 2026/05/20 14:47:23.8443692 3403461 000 ECU1 NONE LM log fatal verbose 3
[2026-05-20 14:47:23.693] [INFO] [launch_manager] clock() at failed initial state transition: 38.712000 ms

From a first look, this might be caused by the following code:

itf/score/itf/plugins/docker.py

Lines 184 to 188 in d1ff92b

	def _process_text(text):
	for line in text.strip().split("\n"):
	if line:
	cmd_logger.info(line)
	output_lines.append(line)

I think the stream should be somehow buffered so that log lines are not split.
