hermes-agent/apps/desktop/electron/no-console-git.ts

// Electron is a GUI-subsystem process, so a direct git.exe spawn allocates its
// own console even when Node's windowsHide is set. windowsHide is SW_HIDE and,
// from a console-less parent, does not stop that flash (hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py).
//
// The flag that does is CREATE_NO_WINDOW (0x08000000). A console-subsystem
// python.exe started with that flag owns one hidden console; git is then
// spawned from that host with the same flag, and the git argv is forwarded
// unchanged. simple-git cannot take a creation flag, so its binary tuple is
// [python, this host script].
