Martin Vogelandnoctrex cc1d60db4e fix(windows): suppress the console window on the last spawn site (#1427)
#1448 set CREATE_NO_WINDOW on the subprocess spawn and on cbm_popen_isolated,
but cbm_exec_no_shell (compat_fs.c) still passed a bare 0 for dwCreationFlags.
That is the helper behind git, codesign and open, so the most frequently hit
path kept flashing a console — and under a stdio MCP session with auto_watch
those windows steal focus while the user is typing. Reported by @noctrex on
#1448 after verifying the merged fix.

Also adds the contract nobody had. The flag has to be set per call site, the
four sites do not resemble each other, and reviewing "does this PR add the
flag" says nothing about the sites a PR does not touch — which is exactly how
the third one survived a fix applied twice:

  daemon/bootstrap.c   had it from the start   (DETACHED_PROCESS | ... | flag)
  subprocess.c         added by #1448          (flags variable)
  compat_fs.c :313     added by #1448          (inline literal)
  compat_fs.c :689     missed by #1448         (bare 0)

tests/test_spawn_no_window_contract.sh asserts the whole-tree property instead,
so a fifth spawn site cannot be added without it.

The contract strips C comments before matching, and that is load-bearing rather
than tidiness: the first version of it PASSED with the fix reverted, because the
explanatory comment above the fixed call contains the flag name and satisfied
the match. A contract that can be satisfied by prose about the contract is a
false guard. Verified in both directions afterwards — green with the fix, and
red naming compat_fs.c:696 with the fix reverted and that comment still in
place.

scripts/ — the canonical leg entries

The doctrine (enforced, not advisory): a venue may provision a machine; only a canonical leg script may exercise the product. Local CI, PR CI, the dry run and the release all call the SAME files below — venues differ only in host specs, architecture and inputs, never in what a leg does. Platform differences (arm64 sanitizer flags, the Windows launcher, the linux portable binary) live INSIDE these scripts, once, never per-venue. tests/test_venue_parity_contract.sh (run as Step 0j of every test leg) turns any violation — inline harness logic in a workflow, a bypassed wrapper, a missing --help — into a red build.

Every entry answers --help (authoritative, agent-oriented: modes, env, exit codes) and rejects unknown flags with exit 2 + Please consult --help.

The legs

leg entry what a run gives you
test test.sh DEFAULT = the venue leg: static contracts (Step 0a–0j) + CLEAN ASan+UBSan build + all suites via the parallel harness + prod-binary guards. --suites a,b = iteration mode (incremental rebuild, subset, seconds). --tsan = the ThreadSanitizer leg. CLANGARM64 gets CI's trap-UBSan flags automatically.
build build.sh CLEAN production build (+ launcher on Windows). ccache via env.sh makes repeats fast; CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK=content guarantees a hit is byte-identical to a cold compile — never stale. --with-ui, --version, STATIC=1, BUILD_DIR=.
lint lint.sh clang-tidy + cppcheck + clang-format (+ no-skips policy). --ci = the CI gate set (no clang-tidy). Drives the same make targets as make lint/lint-ci.
smoke (unix) smoke-local.sh Stages a full release fixture, serves it on a kernel-assigned port, runs smoke-test.sh (ALL phases incl. download/install/update E2E) inside a disposable HOME/XDG/TMP sandbox. ui variant makes a missing embedded UI a FAILURE. CBM_SMOKE_ARTIFACT_DIR = smoke an extracted release artifact verbatim (release mode).
smoke (windows) ../test-infrastructure/vm/vm-smoke.sh Same contract for the launcher+payload pair, plus the user-PATH registry guard (prepare/verify/cleanup).
smoke-invariants smoke-invariants.sh The "shipped binary does not fail" battery (MCP handshake, all tools invocable, malformed-input resilience) — no fixture server, no install E2E. smoke.yml runs it on the WIDEST build-from-source matrix (incl. older-glibc legs the release artifacts cannot cover).
soak soak-legs.sh The release-gating soak SEQUENCE: quick then query-leak (the #581 detector — never reindexes, so RSS growth = query-path leak), each guarded by a completion-summary check. --legs quick for the ASan single-leg variant. Duration is per leg.

Internal harnesses — never called directly by a venue (the contract forbids it): smoke-test.sh (phases; wrappers provide fixture server + sandbox), soak-test.sh (one soak run; soak-legs.sh provides the sequence + guards), run-tests-parallel.sh (reached through test.sh).

Conventions

  • Exit codes: 0 = pass · 2 = usage error · 90 = guard (a run died without its completion summary — never counts as green) · anything else = the leg's real failure.
  • Iteration is a flag, not a side-tool: the fast paths (--suites, --legs) are modes of the SAME entry the gates run, so a dev loop can never drift from the venue behaviour.
  • Env sandboxing: the smoke wrappers neutralize every agent-config destination override; a smoke can never scribble on your real config.
  • Iterating on a change: scripts/test.sh --suites <suite> (seconds, incremental, same ASan+UBSan flags as the gate). List suites: build/c/test-runner --list-suites. Debugging a Windows-on-ARM trap: re-run with SANITIZE= for a plain build, or use the emulated win.sh ubsan-* pair for full diagnostics.
  • Before any push (the 3-OS ladder): scripts/test.sh (macOS, full) → ./test-infrastructure/run.sh full (Linux + TSan + smoke) → test-infrastructure/vm/win.sh test-par + guards + smoke-install (+ soak when the change touches memory/daemon paths).
  • Concurrency-touching change: add scripts/test.sh --tsan early — the same leg CI gates on.
  • Release-shaped verification: CBM_SMOKE_ARTIFACT_DIR=<extracted artifact> scripts/smoke-local.sh <binary> [ui] smokes exactly what would ship.
  • A leg is red in CI but green locally: first suspect environment shape, not code — the preflights (win.sh automatic; scripts/ci/preflight-docker.sh) and test-infrastructure/README.md's residuals list cover the knowable differences.
