Return control to main thread if Transport thread fails

[zefer]

Background

If there is an error within Transport's thread, it writes it to stderr but does not return control to the main thread, leaving the main thread waiting indefintely.

I saw this today when I upgraded to 1.54.0 but forgot to upgrade the Playwright binary from 1.52.x, therefore the client was trying to use the wrong binary API. I expected this to raise an exception, but it left the main thread hanging.

Question

I have worked-around this by wrapping my Playwright.create in a Timeout block, however I am curious if there is a better way to return control to the main thread?
