Description

I would like to be able to make whether the application is hidden on auto launch user settable, but the current API doesn't make that feasible. There is no way to easily tell if the currently enabled auto-launch is configured to launch hidden, or to change the setting for an AutoLaunch instance.

Research direction
Examine the current AutoLaunch class implementation in src/auto launch.coffee to understand how isHidden is used and exposed. The issue requests making the hidden option settable and queryable. Look for existing getter/setter patterns in the codebase. Since the issue is old and has an assignee, consider checking comments for any progress. The change likely involves adding a method or property to get/set the hidden flag on the AutoLaunch instance.
