fix(acp): preserve Windows shim stdio pipes - #30544
Fixes#29088. On Windows, launching an owned ACP .cmd shim with shell: true and detached: true loses its stdio pipes, causing Grok initialization to hang.
Change
Disable spawn detachment on Windows. Keep process ownership enabled so PID-tree cleanup still runs. The regression checks that owned launches detach on POSIX and stay attached on Windows. Process-tree cleanup remains unchanged.
Scope and approval
Submitted under the focused obvious-bug exception: restores stdio for an existing Windows ACP launch while preserving owned-process cleanup. No new setting, workflow, or process-management abstraction. Maintainer acceptance remains pending.
Verification
Current head: d19a57d11277c57aa75f510189c54523ce17e6ef. All eight required checks pass; no checks are pending or failing. Maintainer acceptance remains pending. CodeRabbit reported no actionable findings on historical head 23680ec. The captures below also cover that historical head.
Matched Windows 11 Home 26200 runs on 2026-11-11: base b3fdf2b10fb92e5dbc71a83381c602a8a464bbca timed out during ACP discovery; head 23680ec initialized and completed a Supervised Grok 4.7 marker turn. Both used Grok CLI 1.0.77, fresh isolated homes, and the same temporary CMD forwarding shim to the installed EXE.
After normal head-run shutdown, all 18 captured PID-plus-creation-time identities exited, including the shim and Grok. Both test ports were released. Short-lived uncaptured children remain unverified.
Not reproduced: baseline blank console. Native window observations found no new console, but the Browser recordings do not certify continuous desktop visibility or focus behavior. Other providers, clients, and connection modes were not exercised.
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — The change preserves Windows ACP shim communication by disabling process detachment while retaining PID-tree cleanup. POSIX behavior stays unchanged, and reported Windows runtime verification covers initialization and termination.

Walkthrough
The ACP runtime now disables detached spawning on Windows when it owns a process group. A new test checks the spawn setting and verifies that cleanup passes the spawned PID to the Windows tree terminator.
Changes: Windows ACP process handling
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Windows spawn and cleanup packages/provider-acp/src/server/AcpSessionRuntime.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/AcpAdapterV2.test.ts
The runtime uses the host platform to disable detached spawning on Windows while retaining process-group ownership. The test checks this setting and verifies that the Windows tree terminator receives the spawned PID.
No actionable merge-blocking issue is established. The Windows launch and cleanup change is ready for normal checks, though console visibility was not directly verified.

Explanation
Issue #29088 requires Windows ACP launches to avoid detached: true when a .cmd or .bat shim uses shell: true, while retaining process-tree cleanup. AcpSessionRuntime now sets detached to false on win32 and preserves ownDetachedProcessGroup. The focused regression test checks the Windows spawn option and verifies that cleanup receives the spawned PID. These changes address the reported ACP initialization hang and blank-console cause.

Explanation
The pull request changes the Windows ACP spawn option and adds a focused cleanup regression test. Both changes directly support issue #29088. The reviewed summary shows no unrelated production behavior or provider policy changes.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template closely. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and it links issue #29088. The Problem section states the bug and its cause: on Windows, an owned ACP .cmd shim launched with shell: true and detached: true loses its stdio pipes and hangs Grok initialization. The Change section states the fix: disable spawn detachment on Windows and keep ownership for PID-tree cleanup. The Scope section explains the focused obvious-bug exception and links the prior-approval section of CONTRIBUTING.md. The Verification section gives the commit head, matched Windows 11 runs with base and head results, cleanup observations, a list of what was not reproduced, and visual evidence (screenshots and clips). It also names the model and harness, as the template asks. The description is thorough. The only gap is that the Scope section cites a prior-approval exception, but the maintainer acceptance is still pending, so the scope basis rests on the author's claim.

Completed the requested integrated Windows check at unchanged PR head 1f81ab9, on main 9e85538535 (integration e80019e767). The isolated real client discovered authenticated Grok through a real temporary .cmd shim, completed a Supervised Grok 4.7 Fast marker turn, and showed the exact reply plus Done. After retained-session shutdown, all 17 captured PID/creation-time identities had exited, including the observed Grok subtree, and both test ports were closed.
Updated Verification in the description with these results and limits. Console visibility/focus was not directly observed, so no claim is made about that symptom. This verifies the CMD/stdio hang fix and observed disposal, not every Windows launcher configuration.

Completed matched native-Windows runs and added openable screenshots, clips, and cleanup results to the description. Base b3fdf2b timed out; current head 23680ec initialized and completed the exact Grok marker turn. All 18 captured head-run process identities exited during normal teardown; both test ports were released.
The blank-console symptom did not reproduce. Native window observations found no new console, but these Browser clips do not prove continuous desktop visibility or focus behavior. That part of the requested evidence remains unverified. No code changed.
Replace the end-to-end taskkill regression test with a spawner that records
the detached option on Windows and POSIX hosts, and note why Windows skips it.

the fix is written and reviewed, but proving it needs something no worker has:
Permanent blocker: observing native Windows console visibility requires an interactive Windows desktop session, which the supplied pool explicitly does not provide. The brief requires stopping at this blocker.
Base ACP initialization timeout, head Grok discovery and marker reply, and runtime process-tree cleanup remain unverified because neither revision was run.
The published Windows run does cover base ACP timeout, head discovery/marker reply, and captured process-tree teardown at base b3fdf2b and historical head 23680ec. It does not verify current head d19a57d or continuous native console visibility; the baseline blank console was not reproduced. Those remaining limits still apply. No new runtime proof is claimed.
The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:
the capture step could not show the problem on the base commit, so there is nothing to prove fixed.
Installed dependencies and native Grok, prepared a forwarding grok.cmd ahead of grok.exe on PATH, configured binaryPath as grok, seeded a synthetic project through T3's CLI, and launched the real dev app. Attempted browser pairing and navigation to Providers. Neither attempt reached verified enablement, a health result, a marker turn, or cleanup observation.
Windows Server 2025; native Grok 1.0.77; Chromium headless; dark theme; identical 1440×1000 viewport. Fresh isolated state on both commits. Put a forwarding grok.cmd first on PATH, enable Grok with binary path grok, select Grok in Settings → Providers, refresh, and wait for completion. Captures show the same provider-panel crop; recordings omit initial page loading.
This proves ACP discovery only. A completed marker turn, console-window behavior, and graceful owned-process cleanup remain unverified.
Not shown:
Completed marker turn: head passed initialization but failed session opening because Grok advertised only grok.com authentication while T3 requested xai.api_key. A separate native Grok 1.0.52 initialization check advertised the same method. No successful marker reply is claimed.
Separate-console behavior: servers ran outside the interactive Windows desktop, so absence of a visible console window was not established.
Graceful owned-process cleanup: teardown terminated captured server process trees; this does not prove graceful provider-session cleanup.
