The per-step timeout only wrapped the interaction phase (rx.recv_timeout): TestTerminal::spawn (openpty + fork/exec the child into the PTY) ran synchronously before it. On runners where that spawn can block (the Linux analog of the ConPTY blocking that keeps the Windows snapshot job on a GitHub-hosted runner), a wedged spawn was unbounded, and because the parallel execution gate holds the case's lease, it stalled the whole suite (6h job default, no step log). Run the spawn on a helper thread bounded by the same per-step timeout: a wedged spawn now fails that one case (like any other step timeout) and the suite proceeds. Success path is unchanged (verified against the interactive picker cases). The helper thread is abandoned on timeout, which is fine for a dev-only test binary that exits when the run ends.
If the spawn wait times out and the helper thread's TestTerminal::spawn still succeeds afterwards, the send fails and the terminal was dropped without killing its child (TestTerminal has no Drop that kills). Handle the SendError and kill the child so a slow-but-live command cannot keep running after the case has already failed.

You can consider writing the timeout in the snapshot like: https://github.com/voidzero-dev/vite-task/blob/cda404d1f12cb9fa4a73f93bd863a636ebc4dcd9/crates/vite_task_bin/tests/e2e_snapshots/main.rs#L584 This way the previous outputs will be naturally written in the snapshot. |
The recurring Linux snapshot hang survives #2102's spawn bound (a run that contained the bound still wedged for the full 10-min step timeout), so the wedge is at a different, still-unbounded point (or cumulative create-test timeouts around the ctrl-c case). Add snap_trace (gated on VP_SNAP_TRACE=1), writing START/phase/END lines straight to fd 2 so they survive libtest capture and reach the CI log even when the step is killed by its timeout. A step that logs START without END is the wedged one, and the phase markers (spawn dispatched / spawned / waiting for exit) localize within it. Enable it on the Linux PTY CI step; off by default everywhere else.

What a wedged spawn looks like now
Forcing the spawn to block (the failure this fixes), the case now fails at its per-step timeout instead of hanging the run:
(
2sis a shortened demo timeout; the real per-step default is 50s. The other cases keep running and the step log is preserved, versus the old behavior where this same block hung the whole step until the 6h job default with no log.)
