I'm not who you're replying to but I had a scenario where I needed to notice that a command had completed (exit code received) but keep listening for any output that was still buffered and only stop processing tokens after it had been quiet for a little bit.
Trying to get Claude to do this without introducing a deadlock and without exiting too early and leaving valuable output in the pipe was hellish.
It's very good at some kinds of reasoning and very bad at others. There's not much it's mediocre at.
