- document str defaults / bytes for binary-mode callers
- wire __exit__ to False so exceptions are not suppressed
- exercise exited-process path through subprocess.run

Hand-rolled Popen mocks keep missing two things: __enter__ (subprocess.run
wraps Popen in a context manager) and a communicate() tuple. Use this
factory instead of building MagicMock processes inline.
Defaults are str (for text=True subprocesses); pass bytes explicitly for binary-mode callers.
