fix(win): graceful shutdown, one startup-mode control, and a stray-\r bug

2026-09-05T11:06:55Z

Windows-only changes, all found by actually running the previous session's work rather than by review alone: - CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT/LOGOFF/SHUTDOWN handler (platform.py, ctypes SetConsoleCtrlHandler) so closing a console window, signing off, or a system shutdown runs the daemon's real _shutdown() instead of Windows just ending the process — closing WebRTC sessions and any in-flight ffmpeg transcode instead of orphaning it. `taskkill /F` itself stays uncatchable (like SIGKILL), so autostart_run() now spawns with CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP instead of DETACHED_PROCESS and autostart_end() tries CTRL_BREAK_EVENT against the recorded pid first, falling back to the hard kill only if that doesn't stop it in time. - Replaced the Node page's two independent autostart/service-mode toggles with one "start automatically" select (off / at sign-in / as a background service). The old pair let both be active at once — starting the daemon twice, at boot and at sign-in — and their layout broke wrapping inside .node-service's flex row. The new control always removes whichever mechanism is active before installing the target; platform.py's service_install() does the same on the CLI side. The "background service" option disables itself (with a hint pointing at the CLI) when running unpackaged, since service-mode.ps1/service.ps1/firewall.ps1 all assume an installed build's layout — verified live rather than assumed by actually running those scripts unelevated. - findNodeBinary() no longer bakes a stray \r into resolved paths. Found by rebooting after enabling per-user autostart: where.exe listed two matches, and stdout.trim().split('\n')[0] only strips the whole string's ends, leaving line one's own trailing \r attached — which landed inside the Startup .vbs's quoted path and broke it with "Unterminated string constant" at boot. Fixed by splitting on \r?\n and trimming every line. - Dependency audit for the Windows installer (docs/WINDOWS-PORT.md): no VC++ Redistributable needed, confirmed by inspecting the built node-runtime's actual import table rather than assuming. New docs/windows-build.md: a concise clone-to-installer build guide. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5
