The original implementation gives responsibilities to output consumers that they should have not had. Essentially we ended up with a structure where termtest used output consumers, and output consumers in turn used termtest. This feels error-prone and difficult to reason about.
This rewrite fixes this by sending a Stop signal to consumers that are still pending, when the output producer reaches EOF (ie. process exited). This should also avoid any race conditions wrt consuming output shortly after the process exited, which was the main issue I was trying to fix.
I should've realized this when I reviewed the original PR, but it had been a while since I worked on this code.
