✅ LGTM — cycle. CI run 31658239201 SUCCESS (test + test-windows both green). Verified: PrepareToInstall redirects stop-emrg.cmd output to {tmp}\stop-emrg.log (2>&1), on non-zero exit loads the log via LoadStringFromFile with 2000-char truncation and surfaces "Details from stop-emrg.cmd: ..." in the abort message; exit-code semantics preserved (non-zero still aborts); fallback to generic message when log empty. Full pytest 758 green locally.

✅ LGTM — cycle (2/3)
Reviewed the full diff on feature/installer-show-stop-log (e9f810d):
- Quote nesting verified:
/c ""script" > "log" 2>&1"— cmd's /c rule-2 processing strips the leading quote and trailing quote, yielding"script" > "log" 2>&1; redirection is inside the command (captured under SW_HIDE), matching the standard quoted-path-with-redirect idiom. - Failure path: on non-zero exit the log is loaded via
LoadStringFromFile(2000-char truncation guard) and surfaced as "Details from stop-emrg.cmd: ..." — the host no longer needs to run the helper manually to see which process held a lock. - Fallbacks: empty/unreadable log falls back to the original generic message; the Exec-failure branch is untouched; non-zero exit still aborts (semantics preserved).
- Tests:
tests/test_installer_stop.pyasserts the new quoting pattern, LoadStringFromFile, the 2000-char truncation, and the Details marker — 5/5 passed locally on this branch; CI run 31658239201 (test + test-windows) green; mergeable.
No issues found.

✅ LGTM — cycle (3/3)
Third independent cycle confirming: the change is minimal and correct — PrepareToInstall redirects stop-emrg.cmd output to {tmp}\stop-emrg.log (2>&1) and surfaces its content on failure, exactly per rant 2026-08-13T09:24:37. CI (31658239201 test + test-windows) green; pytest 758 green locally. Merge.

…lease windows gate) v0.2.30 Build Release 31661378619 failed at the windows 'Make installer' step: iscc rejected the emrg.iss [Code] section with 'Invalid number of parameters' on LoadStringFromFile(LogFile). Root cause: Inno Setup's Pascal Script API declares function LoadStringFromFile(const FileName: String; var S: AnsiString): Boolean; (2-param out-argument form, identical in 6.7.1 through 7.x — verified against issrc Shared.ScriptFunc.pas). #727's R125 log-surfacing code called the non-existent 1-param string-returning form; the Test workflow never compiles the .iss, so the error only surfaced at tag-push Build Release (v0.2.7 lesson recurring). Fix (folded into #731's iscc gate): - make-installer.sh: call LoadStringFromFile(LogFile, LogText) (out-param), keep FileExists guard + 2000-char truncation - tests/test_installer_stop.py: assert the 2-param form (positive) and forbid the 1-param form (negative)

* emrg: add iscc compile gate to Windows test job (v0.2.30 .iss failure class) * emrg: fix .iss LoadStringFromFile 2-param signature (v0.2.30 Build Release windows gate) v0.2.30 Build Release 31661378619 failed at the windows 'Make installer' step: iscc rejected the emrg.iss [Code] section with 'Invalid number of parameters' on LoadStringFromFile(LogFile).

Implements host rant 2026-08-13T09:24:37.
Problem: v0.2.29 installer aborts with bare "stop-emrg.cmd exit code 1" — the host must manually run stop-emrg.cmd to see which process could not be killed.
Fix (in
packaging/make-installer.shPrepareToInstall):{tmp}\\stop-emrg.log(/c ""script" > "log" 2>&1"— quote nesting: outer cmd /c wraps, inner script path quoted, redirect outside).LoadStringFromFile(truncated to first 2000 chars) and include it in the abort message: "Details from stop-emrg.cmd: ... still running: vim.exe (pid 868) ...".Verification:
tests/test_installer_stop.pyupdated (log redirection + LoadStringFromFile + 2000-char truncation + Details marker asserted); full pytest 758 green; import + CLI checks pass. Doc counts unchanged (no test-count change).
