Phase 05: Windows Stability Batch

These PRs fix Windows-specific issues. They should be reviewed in order since some may conflict.

Tasks

• Review and merge PR #972 (Fix Windows path handling for usernames with spaces by @farikh). File: plugin/scripts/bun-runner.js. This fixes bun-runner.js (just added in v9.0.17) failing when Windows usernames contain spaces. The shell: IS_WINDOWS option in spawn() causes cmd.exe to split at spaces. Fix: remove shell: true on Windows. Steps: (1) gh pr checkout 972 (2) Review the spawn change — verify it removes shell option or properly quotes paths (3) Test that the change doesn't break non-space paths (4) Run npm run build (5) This is a direct bug in code we just shipped — high priority. If clean: gh pr merge 972 --rebase --delete-branch

  Completed 2025-02-05: Merged via rebase onto main. Fix replaces shell: IS_WINDOWS with windowsHide: true — removes cmd.exe routing that split paths at spaces, adds windowsHide to prevent console popups. The shell: IS_WINDOWS on line 29 (for where command lookup) is correctly preserved since where needs shell mode. Build passes clean.

• Review PR #935 (fix(worker): guard ProcessTransport writes on Windows startup by @jayvenn21). Files: package.json, patches/@anthropic-ai+claude-agent-sdk+0.1.77.patch. This patches the Claude Agent SDK to guard stdin/stdout transport writes during startup on Windows. Steps: (1) gh pr checkout 935 (2) CAUTION: This adds a patch file for the SDK. Review whether patching a dependency is the right approach vs. guarding at the application layer. (3) Check if the SDK version matches what we use (4) If the patch is invasive or fragile, request changes to implement the guard in our code instead. (5) Run npm run build to verify.

  Closed 2026-02-05: PR patches the SDK to silently swallow ProcessTransport is not ready for writing errors — changing a throw to a silent return. Rejected for three reasons: (1) Silently dropping writes causes subtle data loss bugs, violating Fail Fast principles (2) patch-package approach is fragile, tied to exact SDK v0.1.77 line numbers, breaks on any upgrade (3) Already superseded by fail-open architecture (PRs #973 and #959 merged) — worker crashes are handled gracefully without blocking Claude Code. Proper fix would be application-layer readiness checks, not SDK patching.

• Review PR #931 (Prevent repeated worker spawn popups on Windows when startup fails by @jayvenn21). File: src/services/worker-service.ts. Prevents hooks from repeatedly trying to spawn the worker when startup fails, causing visible terminal popups on Windows. Steps: (1) gh pr checkout 931 (2) Review the spawn-once logic — should track spawn attempt and not retry within a cooldown period (3) Run npm run build (4) If clean: gh pr merge 931 --rebase --delete-branch

• Review PR #930 (Fix blocking startup by deferring worker initialization by @jayvenn21). File: src/cli/handlers/context.ts. Defers worker init so Claude UI isn't blocked for 1-2 minutes on WSL2/slow systems. Steps: (1) gh pr checkout 930 (2) Review that deferred init still ensures context is available when needed (3) Verify this doesn't conflict with #959 (fail-open context inject) (4) Run npm run build (5) If clean and compatible with Phase 04 changes: gh pr merge 930 --rebase --delete-branch
