refactor: enhance IPC handling in task runner tests

- Updated IPC reader initialization in runner_test.go to use a channel for signaling readiness, improving synchronization.
- Added error logging when writing to the pipe to enhance traceability during tests.
- These changes improve the reliability and clarity of the test setup for the task runner.
