* chore: update .gitignore to include stackdump and .serena, enhance pre-commit script
* fix(win32): resolve EPERM on userData writes and batch-file spawn failures
Three Windows-specific issues prevented Orca from running correctly on
machines where Chromium resets the userData DACL during startup:
1. **EPERM on userData writes** — Chromium's BrowserWindow constructor calls
SetNamedSecurityInfo on the userData folder with a Protected DACL. When
propagated to child directories the ACEs carry the Inherit-Only flag,
meaning they apply to children-of-children but NOT to the directories
themselves. Any file write inside codex-runtime-home, agent-hooks, or
similar subdirectories fails with EPERM.
Fix: grant an explicit Full Control ACE (OI)(CI)(F) on userData and all
existing children before BrowserWindow is created (icacls /T /C).
Explicit ACEs survive future DACL propagation from the parent. Per-write
EPERM retries in fs-utils and installer-utils serve as the backstop for
directories created after startup.
2. **Batch-file spawn failures** — resolveCodexCommand() can return a .cmd
or .bat path (e.g. codex.cmd installed via npm). Node's spawn() cannot
execute batch scripts directly without shell:true, but shell:true with an
args array triggers DEP0190 because args are concatenated rather than
escaped. Both service.ts and codex-fetcher.ts were affected.
Fix: detect .cmd/.bat paths and route through cmd.exe /c explicitly,
which is equivalent to what shell:true does internally but avoids the
deprecation warning and arg-escaping hazard.
3. **Native dep rebuild failure** — electron-builder install-app-deps does
not expose the ignoreModules option. On Windows dev machines without the
full VC++ / Python toolchain, cpu-features (an optional dep of ssh2) fails
to build with node-gyp, aborting the entire postinstall step.
Fix: replace electron-builder install-app-deps with a thin wrapper script
(scripts/rebuild-native-deps.mjs) that calls @electron/rebuild's JS API
directly with ignoreModules: ['cpu-features'] on Windows. ssh2 detects
the missing native module and falls back to pure-JS automatically.
Refactoring: extract shared win32-utils.ts with getIcaclsExePath(),
getCmdExePath(), isWindowsBatchScript(), isPermissionError(), grantDirAcl(),
and getSpawnArgsForWindows() to eliminate five instances of duplicated
SystemRoot path construction and two near-identical EPERM retry blocks.
Reduce startup icacls calls from three sequential blocking /T invocations
to one, removing up to 20 s of potential startup delay.
* fix(win32): address review feedback on ACL and spawn helpers
- Fall back to SID via `whoami /user` when `USERNAME` is unset so
`grantDirAcl` works under services, CI, and hardened envs instead of
silently no-op'ing.
- Use a 60s timeout for recursive `icacls /T` walks; the 10s cap could
starve on large userData trees and silently fail the startup grant.
- Pass `windowsHide: true` to `icacls` and the cmd.exe-routed Codex
spawns so no console window flashes in the packaged GUI app.
- Add `/d` to `cmd.exe /c` invocations to disable AutoRun registry
commands — safer default for background spawns.
- Drop unused `createRequire`/`require` from rebuild-native-deps.mjs.
- Add `@electron/rebuild` as an explicit devDependency; relying on the
electron-builder transitive was brittle under pnpm.
- Fix two misleading "Re-enable inheritance" comments that describe
behavior opposite to what the code actually does (explicit ACL grant).
- Add unit tests for `isWindowsBatchScript`, `getSpawnArgsForWindows`,
and `isPermissionError` to lock in Windows batch detection + cmd.exe
routing.

* fix(win32): unify PTY spawn through /d and document cmd.exe safety
- fetchViaPty now uses getCmdExePath() and /d /c, matching the rest of
the codebase instead of hand-rolling 'cmd.exe' + ['/c', ...].
- getSpawnArgsForWindows gains a SAFETY note: when the .cmd/.bat branch
is taken, cmd.exe re-parses the combined command line, so callers
must only pass trusted/literal args.
