Piping stdout without draining while blocking in child.wait() risks deadlock if a command writes more than one OS pipe buffer (~64 KB on Linux). Current callers (systemctl, niri msg, loginctl) stay well under that, but the structure was fragile. stdout is now discarded; stderr continues to be captured for error reporting.
