//! `STARTUPINFOEXW`-friendly proc-thread attribute list (#150 W2).
//!
//! Ports `portable-pty-0.9.0/src/win/procthreadattr.rs` to use
//! `windows-sys` directly. The single attribute we set is
//! `PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PSEUDOCONSOLE`, which routes the spawned
//! child's stdio through our `HPCON` instead of inheriting the
//! parent's console.
//!
//! Lifetime invariant per MSDN: the `lpValue` buffer must remain
//! valid until `DeleteProcThreadAttributeList`. We satisfy this by
//! storing the `HPCON` value inside the wrapper in a `Box` (stable
//! address across moves of the outer struct) and pointing the
//! attribute list at `&*self.hpc_storage`.
