What is foreground-child?

The foreground-child npm package is used to run a child process in the foreground, ensuring that signals such as SIGINT, SIGTERM, and exit codes are properly forwarded from the child process to the parent. This is particularly useful when you want to ensure that a child process is treated as if it were the main process, especially in the context of command-line tools and scripts.
