print_catch.py DOX

Purpose

• Own the print_catch.py helper module.
• This module captures printed output from async callables.
• Keep this file-level DOX profile synchronized with print_catch.py because this directory is intentionally flat.

Ownership

• print_catch.py owns the runtime implementation.
• print_catch.py.dox.md owns durable notes about responsibilities, contracts, side effects, and verification for that implementation.
• Top-level functions:
• capture_prints_async(func: Callable[..., Awaitable[Any]], *args, **kwargs) -> Tuple[Awaitable[Any], Callable[[], str]]

Runtime Contracts

• Helper modules own reusable framework APIs and must preserve public callers unless all callers, tests, and docs are updated together.
• Update this file whenever public functions, classes, persistence behavior, path/security assumptions, side effects, or cross-module contracts change.
• Imported dependency areas include: asyncio, io, sys, typing.

Key Concepts

• Important called helpers/classes observed in the source: io.StringIO, captured_output.getvalue, wrapped_func, func.
• Keep request/response, tool, or helper semantics documented here at the same time as source changes.

Work Guidance

• Preserve public helper APIs used by core code and plugins unless every caller is updated.
• Keep path, auth, secret, persistence, network, and subprocess behavior explicit and bounded.
• Prefer adding cohesive helper functions here only when behavior is reused across modules.

Verification

• Run targeted tests for changed helper behavior; run security regressions for auth, filesystem, WebSocket, tunnel, upload, or secret-handling helpers.
• No direct test reference was found by name search; choose the nearest behavioral test or perform a focused smoke check.
