Description

Oni seems somehow to be attached to its parent process:

ctrl-c in cmd kills oni

Open cmd on windows 10

Start oni:

oni

do dir or some other command.

do ctrl-c in cmd and oni will exit

Expected: oni is not affected by cmd

closing cmd also closes oni

Open cmd on windows 10 start oni:

Expected: oni is not affected by cmd

Research direction
Investigate how Oni spawns Neovim and manages child processes on Windows. The issue is likely in the main process code where the Neovim process is attached to the console. Look at files like 'src/main/index.ts' or 'src/Process.ts' for process spawning and detachment logic. The goal is to ensure Oni runs independently of the parent cmd process, possibly using 'detached' option or properly handling process groups.
