[Bug]: InternalFailure error #960

@TrapsterDK

Description

@TrapsterDK

What happened?

Sometimes when running aspect, I suddenly get InternalFailure("Shutdown errors: [Timeout(5s)]"). When it happens, all aspect` commands after will result in this error.

Version

Development (host) and target OS/architectures:
Windows 11

Output of bazel --version:
8.5.1, but also happens on 9

Version of the Aspect rules, or other relevant rules from your
WORKSPACE or MODULE.bazel file:

Language(s) and/or frameworks involved:

How to reproduce

Unknown

Any other information?

Happens on Windows 11 cmd, powershell and in wsl.
This issue seems to disappear for some time when restarting.
It is not a regression, at least over the past few releases have tried some different ones.
I think it might be related to running multiple projects with bazel at the same time and using aspect for multiple at the same time.

Stack (happens for all aspect commands once it starts, even aspect, aspect --help and so on):
