feat(watchdog): auto-start watchdogs minimized at login (#11) - #12
Merged
Conversation
Add create-startup-shortcuts.ps1 to install/remove minimized Startup-folder shortcuts for both watchdogs. Runs at logon in the interactive session, non-elevated (fires on auto-login, no stored credentials needed, and avoids the elevated-orphan-worker issue from /RL HIGHEST tasks). Set stable console titles (llama-chat-watchdog, llama-embed-supervisor) so the daily restart scripts find each window reliably; titles are chosen so the chat restart no longer accidentally matches the embed watchdog window. Relaunch minimized in restart-watchdog.ps1 / restart-watchdog-embed.ps1 so the windows stay minimized after the midnight restart. Minimized (not hidden) preserves the window handle/title that the WM_CLOSE shutdown cascade targets. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Auto-start the chat and embed watchdogs, minimized to the taskbar, at login — without breaking the daily graceful restart.
Closes #11.
Changes
create-startup-shortcuts.ps1(new) — installs/removes minimized Startup-folder shortcuts for both watchdogs. Runs at logon in the interactive session, non-elevated (fires on the machine''s password-less auto-login, needs no stored credentials, and avoids the elevated-orphan-worker issue seen with/RL HIGHESTtasks). Supports-Removeto uninstall.watchdog.ps1/watchdog-embed.ps1— set stable console titles (llama-chat-watchdog,llama-embed-supervisor) so the restart scripts find each window reliably. Titles are chosen so the chat restart (*watchdog*) no longer accidentally matches the embed watchdog window.restart-watchdog.ps1/restart-watchdog-embed.ps1— relaunch minimized so windows stay minimized after the midnight restart.Why minimized, not hidden
The daily restart finds each watchdog console window by title and sends
WM_CLOSEto cascade a cleanllama-servershutdown. A hidden window has no handle to target, so the watchdogs run minimized (handle/title preserved) rather than fully hidden.Testing
