🎯 Use case

This file lives under β€œutils/”, which covers cross-cutting helpers (shell, tempfiles, settings, messages, process input, …). On the API surface it exposes TaskOutput β€” mainly types, interfaces, or factory objects. Dependencies touch Node filesystem. It composes internal code from CircularBuffer, debug, fsOperations, shell, and stringUtils (relative imports).

Generated from folder role, exports, dependency roots, and inline comments β€” not hand-reviewed for every path.
