v1.2.1

AIHelper v1.2.1

AIHelper v1.2.1 hardens Windows managed MCP startup and command diagnostics.
Managed services launch without transient console windows, while invocation
logs can distinguish AIHelper success from the result of a checked child
process without retaining child output.

Highlights

• Windows Task Scheduler starts managed MCP through the thin,
  windowless ah-mcp-service.exe launcher.
• run.check completion records can report the child exit outcome without
  storing stdout, stderr, or child argv.
• Managed-service status retains scheduler errors while continuing safe runtime
  and readiness inspection.

What's Changed

🚀 Improvements

• Completed run.check invocation logs include only the optional child
  success, timed_out, and exit_code outcome. A failed checked process does
  not incorrectly change the successful outer AIHelper invocation status.

🐛 Fixes

• The Windows managed service uses a thin GUI-subsystem launcher that starts
  the sibling ah.exe in a kill-on-close Job Object without creating or
  attaching to a console.
• Task Scheduler readback uses the exact rooted task identity, and
  ah mcp service status preserves scheduler diagnostics while still reporting
  trusted runtime and readiness evidence.
• ah ctx pack and ah ctx symbols skip complete files with invalid UTF-8 even
  when invalid bytes occur after the initial binary sniff.

⚠️ Compatibility

• Released CLI, JSON/MCP, and plugin C ABI contracts remain backward compatible.
• Windows managed MCP installations require ah-mcp-service.exe beside
  ah.exe. The Windows release archive includes both executables; keep them
  together with ah-update-helper.exe and the executable-relative plugins/
  directory.
