// Windows terminal window fix: Set process.type to trick MCP SDK into enabling windowsHide
// The SDK checks `process.type === 'renderer'` (Electron detection) before setting windowsHide.
// By setting process.type, the SDK's isElectron() check becomes truthy on Windows, hiding
// terminal windows when spawning uvx/python processes for Chroma MCP server.
// The type is sometimes not present resulting in the check being false. Setting it like this fixes it
