windows-background-process
Use when working on Windows without WSL and an agent needs to start, monitor, stop, or inspect long-running local programs in the background, or when the user wants multiple independent shell commands run concurrently. Covers `Start-Process`, `Start-Job`, PID tracking, stdout/stderr log files, port checks, and safe shutdown for native Windows development servers, watchers, test runners, and CLI tools.
