Mish Ushakov 2a98cce8c7 fix(js-sdk): stop CommandHandle.disconnect() leaking the output subscription (#1474)
## Description

This PR fixes two related issues in the command handle's event handling.

### 1. JS `CommandHandle.disconnect()` leaked the output subscription

`disconnect()` was fire-and-forget — it only triggered the transport
abort and relied entirely on HTTP/2 abort propagation to stop events,
which is unreliable under keepalive: `onStdout`/`onStderr`/`onPty` could
keep firing for output produced after `disconnect()` returned.

`disconnect()` now sets a cooperative `disconnected` flag and aborts the
transport. The flag is checked before every callback dispatch in the
event loop, so once `disconnect()` returns no callback fires for output
that arrives (or was buffered) after the call — even if the underlying
abort hasn't torn the stream down yet. It does **not** wait for the
event handler to drain, so it returns promptly even for an idle command
(e.g. `sleep`) whose stream produces no further output, never blocks on
an in-flight callback, and does not deadlock when awaited from inside a
callback.

The async Python SDK was already correct here (`disconnect()` cancels
the event-handling task), and the sync Python SDK has no background
subscription (events are consumed only while the caller iterates). The
added Python tests confirm both.

### 2. Exit code was lost when a disconnected consumer stopped on a
flushed `end`-event chunk

When the `end` event flushes trailing decoder bytes (an incomplete
multibyte sequence → replacement character) and the consumer stops
iterating on the first flushed chunk, the generator was aborted before
the result was assigned, so `wait()` failed as if the process never
produced a result. The `end` handler now records the result **before**
yielding the flushed chunks, across the JS, async Python, and sync
Python SDKs.

## Usage

```js
const handle = await sandbox.commands.run(daemon, { background: true, stdin: true, onStdout })
await sandbox.commands.sendStdin(handle.pid, 'turn1\n')
await handle.disconnect() // resolves promptly; onStdout will not fire again
await sandbox.commands.sendStdin(handle.pid, 'turn2\n') // turn2 output never reaches onStdout
```

What is E2B?

E2B is an open-source infrastructure that allows you to run AI-generated code in secure isolated sandboxes in the cloud. To start and control sandboxes, use our JavaScript SDK or Python SDK.

Run your first Sandbox

1. Install SDK

npm i e2b

2. Get your E2B API key

  1. Sign up to E2B here.
  2. Get your API key here.
  3. Set environment variable with your API key
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***

3. Start a sandbox and run commands

import Sandbox from 'e2b'

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
const result = await sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B!"')
console.log(result.stdout) // Hello from E2B!

4. Code execution with Code Interpreter

If you need runCode(), install the Code Interpreter SDK:

npm i @e2b/code-interpreter
import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
const execution = await sandbox.runCode('x = 1; x += 1; x')
console.log(execution.text)  // outputs 2

5. Check docs

Visit E2B documentation.

6. E2B cookbook
