/// On Windows a console application is given a console. A child of a process
/// that has one shares it and draws nothing; a child of a process that has
/// none, such as the daemon started from Explorer, from a service, or from a UI
/// console, gets a brand new window on the interactive desktop. Agent tooling
/// spawns `cmd.exe` many times per run, so without this the desktop fills with
/// flashing consoles (issue #228). Elsewhere this is a no-op: no other platform
/// hands a child a window.
///
/// Apply it to a child whose stdout/stderr are already piped or nulled, which
/// is what every caller in this workspace does. Do **not** apply it to a child
/// meant to share the user's terminal: the editor launched by `lev run` needs
/// that console to draw in, and starting `vim` without one just breaks it.
///
/// One sharp edge worth knowing: `Command::creation_flags` *assigns* the flag
/// word rather than OR-ing into it, so two callers setting different flags on
/// one command would silently clobber each other. This function is deliberately
/// the only writer of creation flags in the workspace. Add any future flag
/// here, alongside `CREATE_NO_WINDOW`, rather than at a call site.

/// `sleep 400` outliving the run that started it is exactly that. Spawning the
