// * When invoking shell scripts, Rush uses a heuristic to distinguish errors from warnings:

// * - If the shell script returns a zero process exit code but writes something to its stderr stream,

// * Rush from processing downstream projects.
// *
// * Thus, warnings do not interfere with local development, but they will cause a CI job to fail, because
// * the Rush process itself returns a nonzero exit code if there are any warnings or errors. This is by design.
// * In an active monorepo, we've found that if you allow any warnings in your main branch, it inadvertently
// * teaches developers to ignore warnings, which quickly leads to a situation where so many "expected" warnings
// * have accumulated that warnings no longer serve any useful purpose.
// *
// * Sometimes a poorly behaved task will write output to stderr even though its operation was successful.
