summary

  • prevent non-interactive desktop exec commands from opening visible console windows
  • retain redirected standard handles, process-tree cleanup, and active-desktop execution semantics

why

Desktop exec already redirects standard input and output through the guest agent. Console-subsystem commands should therefore run without creating a window in the interactive session. GUI applications are unaffected by CREATE_NO_WINDOW.

tests

  • make build-windows-guest-agent
  • go test ./lib/system/guest_agent
  • full Linux, Darwin, Windows lifecycle, and install CI suites
