Research direction
Start by locating the application startup path and the point where the Rich live UI begins. Research a Windows-only, best-effort console-window maximization approach, then verify that supported native consoles maximize while failures and unsupported terminals continue startup normally.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Context
The Rich live UI renders substantially better when the Windows console window is maximized.
For operators launching the app in a native cmd.exe or PowerShell console, it may be worth attempting a best-effort maximize step during startup.
Proposal
Consider adding a Windows-only startup helper that attempts to maximize the console window before the Rich live UI starts.
Constraints
- This should be best-effort only.
- It should not block startup if the call fails.
- It will likely work only for a real Windows console window.
- It may not work in SSH sessions, VS Code integrated terminals, Windows Terminal tabs, or other embedded/remote terminal environments.
Desired behavior
- On supported native Windows console launches, maximize the window automatically so the live UI has enough width.
- On unsupported terminals, do nothing and continue normally.
Notes
This is primarily an operator-experience improvement, not a correctness fix.
