 ● I'll run a for loop that prints "hello n" with a 1-second sleep between

In 0.0.341, with the timeline expanded via ctrl+R, output from the bash process would stream, but now it is blocked until the end.

    I wanted to confirm this wasn't related to the recent detached process work, but that doesn't seem to be the case as the command is executed on the sync command path:
