* perf(windows): stop the capability poll respawning blocking wsl.exe probes #11295 added a 30s renderer interval to `useWindowsTerminalCapabilities` whose early-return only fires when WSL is available with at least one distro, so on the common Windows host (no WSL) it re-ran a full capability read forever. Each read IPCs four probes whose main-process handlers were synchronous `execFileSync` calls to wsl.exe/pwsh.exe, blocking the Electron main event loop for up to 5s a time. The un-latching intent is kept: a host that answers "no WSL" is still re-checked, now on an exponential backoff (30s, +60s, +120s) that parks once the answer stops moving, re-arms on window focus, is shared by all consumers of an owner key, and stops entirely when the last consumer unmounts. The wsl/pwsh IPC handlers now use async twins that share the existing caches and back off identically. * fix(windows): classify async wsl/pwsh probe failures with the execFile error shape The async twins feed `execFile` callback errors into classifiers written for `execFileSync`: a non-zero exit lands on `error.code` as a number rather than `error.status`, and a timeout is a SIGTERM kill rather than ETIMEDOUT. So a Windows host without WSL (wsl.exe ships in System32, so it exits non-zero instead of ENOENT) was cached as retryable, shrinking the shared window from 10min to 45s and making the still-sync callers re-pay their blocking spawn ~13x more often; and a pwsh cold start past 5s cached "pwsh missing" for 30s, demoting the user's PowerShell 7 preference — the exact case the ETIMEDOUT branch exists to prevent. Also drops a literal NUL byte from the new re-probe module's signature separator, which made the file binary to git, and seeds `lastProbeAt` at registration so focus churn right after mount cannot defer the first re-probe indefinitely. Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> * perf(windows): route relay host-capability probes through the async wsl/pwsh twins A paired web/mobile client resolves `useWindowsTerminalCapabilities` to a local target (TabBar's `isWebClient` gate, and `useSettingsNavigationMetadata` forces `{kind:'local'}`), so the new re-probe arms there too. But `window.api.wsl/pwsh` on a web client is not the ipc/app.ts channel — it is `host.wsl.*`/`host.pwsh.*` over the runtime RPC, which still ran the sync probes and blocked the desktop main event loop on `execFileSync('wsl.exe' | 'pwsh.exe')` for up to 5s per call. Switch those handlers and the relay preflight capability probe to the async twins added here; they share the same caches, dedupe and backoff, so remote callers see no behavior change. * fix(windows): harden async capability reprobes * fix(windows): dedupe PowerShell shell probes --------- Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> Co-authored-by: OrcaWin <293788423+OrcaWin@users.noreply.github.com>
