Problem
On Windows, Cockpit starts the default Codex app through the Store/AppUserModelId entry:
Start-Process shell:AppsFolder\\<AppUserModelId>Windows brokers this launch through Explorer, so the resulting
ChatGPT.exeprocess reportsexplorer.exeas its parent process even when Cockpit Tools initiated the launch.This causes external process checks to incorrectly report that Codex was not started by Cockpit Tools.
Root Cause
The Windows default Codex startup path always tries Store/AppUserModelId activation before the configured executable path.
Solution
This PR changes the Windows default startup order:
ChatGPT.exedirectly from Cockpit Tools.direct-exeorsystem-store-entry.Direct startup keeps the Cockpit Tools -> Codex process relationship observable while preserving Store compatibility as a fallback.
Compatibility
Verification
npm run buildpassed.system-store-entryand the launchedChatGPT.exehas Explorer as its parent.link.exe).
