+### Minor Changes
+
+- 4c51727: The process registry of `@procedures/shell/command` gives the output of a process after a time. `processes.subscribe(id, { output, end })` calls `output` with each new piece of output and its stream, and `end` with the record at the end of the process. `processes.follow(id, { backlog, signal, maxBufferedBytes })` gives the output as an async stream: the kept output without a gap, the new pieces in UTF-8, a `dropped` item for a slow reader, and an `end` item. The end of the process removes each subscriber, and a follow that ends removes its subscriber.
+  
+  `node.logs` has the option `follow` (short `-f`). With it, the result is a stream: the kept output as `output` lines (`lines` limits them), each new line of stdout and stderr, and an `exit` item at the end of the process. The stream ends at the end of the process, at an abort of the caller and when the reader stops. `node.logs` declares `stream: { unbounded: true }`.

+#### The output of a recorded process
+
+`processes.output(id)` gives the end of the output that the registry keeps: the last 64 KiB. Two functions give the output that comes later:
+
+| Function | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `subscribe(id, { output, end })` | `output` gets each new piece with its stream (`stdout` or `stderr`) and its bytes. `end` gets the record at the end of the process. The result removes the subscriber. |
+| `follow(id, { backlog, signal, maxBufferedBytes })` | It gives an async stream of items: `backlog`, `output`, `dropped` and the last item `end`. |
+
+- The end of the process removes each subscriber, so a subscriber of an ended process does not stay.
+- `follow` subscribes when the reader asks for the first item. The end of the process, an abort of `signal` and a reader that stops end the stream and remove its subscriber.
+- With `backlog: true`, the first item has the kept output. The kept output and the new output have no gap between them.
+- `follow` decodes UTF-8 for each stream, so a character in two pieces stays whole.
+- The registry cannot slow the process. When more than `maxBufferedBytes` (1 MiB by default) wait for a slow reader, `follow` drops the oldest pieces and gives a `dropped` item with the number of bytes.

+import { processes } from "@procedures/shell/command";

+for await (const item of processes.follow(id, { backlog: true, signal: ctx.signal })) {
