feat(windows): system-tray launcher for vizd.exe (vizd-tray) - #158
Merged
Conversation
Add a Windows-only SetConsoleCtrlHandler that returns TRUE on CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT so the tray launcher can hide the console window instead of vizd being terminated when the user closes it. CTRL_C_EVENT still falls through to the appbase SIGINT handler for a clean shutdown.
A tiny static Go launcher (GUI subsystem) that runs vizd.exe sharing its console so vizd keeps its colored log output, and adds a tray icon with Open window / Close vizd / Enable autostart / Quit. Closing the console hides it to the tray instead of stopping the node.
Add a setup-go + go build step (static, -H windowsgui) and attach the resulting vizd-tray.exe to the Windows release next to vizd.exe.
