 - ([#6651](https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/issues/6651)): Fix dart-sass compilation failing in enterprise environments where `.bat` files are blocked by group policy.
 - ([#14255](https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/issues/14255)): Fix shortcodes inside inline and display math expressions not being resolved.
 - ([#14342](https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/issues/14342)): Work around TOCTOU race in Deno's `expandGlobSync` that can cause unexpected exceptions to be raised while traversing directories during project initialization.
+- ([#14445](https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/issues/14445)): Fix intermittent `Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Writable stream is closed or errored.` aborting renders on Linux. `execProcess` now awaits and swallows the rejection from `process.stdin.close()` when the child closes its stdin first. The captured stderr is now also surfaced when `typst-gather analyze` falls back to staging all packages, so failures are diagnosable without bypassing `quarto`.
 - ([#14359](https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/issues/14359)): Fix intermediate `.quarto_ipynb` file not being deleted after rendering a `.qmd` with Jupyter engine, causing numbered variants (`_1`, `_2`, ...) to accumulate on disk across renders.

+/*
+ * exec-process-stdin.test.ts
+ *
+ * Regression test for #14445.
+ *
+ * src/core/process.ts execProcess() must not leak unhandled promise
+ * rejections from `process.stdin.close()`. If the child closes/errors
+ * its stdin before the parent's close completes, the close Promise
+ * rejects with "Writable stream is closed or errored."; an unawaited
+ * close lets that rejection escape the surrounding try/catch and
+ * surface as an uncaught Deno rejection that aborts the render.
+ *
+ * Manifests on Linux at roughly a 1% race rate when the child exits
+ * without reading stdin (typst-gather analyze of a broken or
+ * fast-failing input). Has not been observed on macOS arm64.
+ *
+ * The race is timing-dependent, so each scenario runs many iterations
+ * and asserts no unhandled rejection fires.
+ *
