Subprocess: Don't close all file descriptors by default (close_fds=False)
Meanwhile VSCode's terminal still leaks Electron fds: https://github.com/microsoft/node-pty/issues/657
I get this proposal's rationale, but it seems that it would implicitly make fd leaks more prone in python programs

TermPair: Terminal sharing with AES-GCM 128 bit end-to-end encryption
