💡 What
Reordered pipe.fileHandleForReading.readDataToEndOfFile() to be executed before process.waitUntilExit() when reading stdout/stderr from Foundation.Process. Also recorded this learning in .jules/sentinel.md.

🎯 Why
When reading from a pipe using Foundation.Process, if the child process output exceeds the pipe's buffer size (typically 64KB), the child process will block waiting for the parent to read the pipe. If the parent calls process.waitUntilExit() before reading the pipe, it will block waiting for the child to exit, causing a permanent deadlock. Reading the data first prevents this issue.
