π File detail
utils/execFileNoThrow.ts
π― Use case
This file lives under βutils/β, which covers cross-cutting helpers (shell, tempfiles, settings, messages, process input, β¦). On the API surface it exposes execFileNoThrow, execFileNoThrowWithCwd, and execSyncWithDefaults_DEPRECATED β mainly functions, hooks, or classes. Dependencies touch child processes. It composes internal code from utils, log, and execFileNoThrowPortable (relative imports). What the file header says: This file represents useful wrappers over node:child_process These wrappers ease error handling and cross-platform compatbility By using execa, Windows automatically gets shell escaping + BAT / CMD handling.
Generated from folder role, exports, dependency roots, and inline comments β not hand-reviewed for every path.
