9969196e96 stage #4626 (perejaslav): suppress Windows console window on WebUI restart (#4653)
Both Windows restart paths (api/updates._schedule_restart Update-button + bootstrap.py
supervisor auto-restart) now prefer pythonw.exe over python.exe and add CREATE_NO_WINDOW
to the Popen creationflags, so a restart no longer flashes an empty console window. Both
edits are inside sys.platform=='win32' guards (zero Linux/macOS change); bootstrap resolves
the win32-only flags via getattr(subprocess, attr, 0). Added regression test (RED on master,
GREEN here). Code byte-faithful from PR head 6d46e630e377.

"""Regression tests for #4626 — suppress the Windows console window on WebUI restart.
Two Windows restart paths spawn server.py:
1. bootstrap.py (foreground supervisor auto-restart)
2. api/updates._schedule_restart (Update-button self-update restart)
Before #4626, both used python.exe (console subsystem) without CREATE_NO_WINDOW, so
every restart flashed an empty terminal window on Windows. If the user closed that
window it took the WebUI down with it.
These are source-level assertions because the behavior is Windows-only (the
DETACHED_PROCESS / CREATE_NO_WINDOW subprocess constants and pythonw.exe only exist
on win32), so the spawn path can't be exercised on the Linux CI box. We pin:
- both restart paths add CREATE_NO_WINDOW to the Popen creationflags
- both prefer pythonw.exe over python.exe when it exists next to the interpreter
- the non-Windows paths are untouched (defensive getattr(..., 0) guards, win32 branch)
