Michael Ramos d977bcecb1 fix(ai): contain broken provider pipes instead of crashing the host (#1379)
Opening a plan review from Pi on Windows could exit the entire Pi host with
an uncaught `write EPIPE` raised inside `PiProcessNode.send()`. The provider
checked `stdin.destroyed` and then wrote, which cannot close the race: the
nested `pi --mode rpc` child can close the pipe between the check and the
write. Node then reports EPIPE either as a synchronous throw or as an `error`
event on the stream, and because no stream had an `error` listener that
became an `uncaughtException` and terminated the host agent process.

Add a shared guard (`packages/ai/providers/child-io.ts`) and apply it to both
JSONL/JSON-RPC providers:

- `guardChildStreams` attaches `error` listeners to the child and every pipe
  immediately after spawn, so a stream error can never escalate. The previous
  one-shot spawn listener was removed on success, leaving the child with no
  `error` listener for the rest of its life.
- `writeChildLine` reports a synchronous failure through its return value and
  an asynchronous one through the write callback, so both paths converge.
- A failure now resolves as a provider failure: in-flight requests reject, the
  process end is broadcast to listeners so a streaming query terminates, the
  child is reaped, and `alive` flips false so the next query re-spawns.

Previously a failed write also left `sendAndWait` pending forever, because
`send()` was fire-and-forget and the Pi provider has no RPC timeout.

Also guards the Bun variant's FileSink write/flush symmetrically, and switches
Pi's Node stderr from an un-drained "pipe" to "ignore", matching the
deadlock reasoning already documented in codex-app-server.ts.

Regression test runs the provider in a real `node` child against a fake Pi
that closes its own stdin; the child installs no `uncaughtException` handler,
so surviving to print its results is the proof. Against the unfixed provider
that child dies with `Error: write EPIPE`, exit 1.
