magi/proc.rs
1//! Spawning child processes without putting a window on the operator's screen.
2//!
3//! Every external program magi runs - the agent CLIs, `git`, `gh`, the
4//! configured verification commands - is a console application. What happens
5//! when one is spawned depends on whether the *parent* has a console, and
6//! magi has two relevant kinds of parent:
7//!
8//! - Terminal commands: ordinary console helpers inherit the console, while
9//! redirected pipes keep their output out of the operator's screen.
10//! - Detached web, scheduler and execution workers: these have no console.
11//! On Windows an ordinary console child would allocate and display a new
12//! one unless its launcher suppresses the window. An implement wave can
13//! otherwise open several black windows over the operator's browser.
14//!
15//! `CREATE_NO_WINDOW` is the answer to exactly that: the child still gets a
16//! console for its standard handles, and that console is never shown. It is
17//! not the same as `DETACHED_PROCESS`, which gives the child no console and
18//! would make a grandchild pop a window of its own for the same reason.
19//!
20//! Nothing here is conditional on how magi was started. A hidden console is
21//! correct in a terminal too: the pipes are redirected either way, so there
22//! was never anything to look at.
23
24/// `CREATE_NO_WINDOW` - run the child's console, but never draw it.
25///
26/// From `processthreadsapi.h`. Spelled out rather than pulled in from a
27/// bindings crate: it is one number that has been stable since Windows 2000,
28/// and the alternative is a dependency for it.

72/// Every uncertain outcome reads as alive, on purpose. This exists so
