I assume this is a limitation of the rendezvous protocol, but when using the heroku run command, stdout and stderr streams are not separated, leading to mixed output. This behavior deviates from typical Unix command behavior where stdout and stderr are distinct. For example, if you were to run a Rake task that exports a CSV to stdout and prints a digest to stderr, the resulting file includes both outputs. This makes the CSV file invalid.

Local example

rake export:csv > export.csv
# Output to stderr: 50d858e0985ecc7f60418aaf0cc5ab587f42c2570a884095a9e8ccacd0f6545c
cat export.csv 
# Result: a valid CSV file

Heroku example

heroku run rake export:csv > export.csv
# Output to stderr: <nothing>
cat export.csv 
# Result: a malformed CSV file

Typically, if you wanted to combine stdout and stderr, you'd explicitly use 2>&1.
