Sometimes codex runs
Start-Processto start up a service or something similar, which launches a user-visible powershell window that probably doesn't get cleaned up. This instruction change encourages it to do so using a hidden window.This was reported in https://openai.slack.com/archives/C09K6H5DZC4/p1776741272870519
One caveat is that this change won't do anything to cleanup these processes, but it will stop them from polluting the user's visible workspace
