Summary

  • Fix ensure_init() missing output redirect on Windows — xlings self init internal messages no longer leak to terminal
  • Fix install_with_progress() fallback missing stderr redirect on Windows — NDJSON interface stderr suppressed

Problem

Windows first-run printed excessive xlings internal output (debug messages, extraction logs) while Linux/macOS were clean and silent. Two subprocess calls were missing platform-appropriate output redirection on Windows.

Test plan

  • Verify Windows first-run only shows mcpp status messages + progress bars
  • Verify Linux/macOS first-run behavior unchanged
  • CI passes on all three platforms

Two places in the first-run bootstrap path were missing output
redirection on Windows, causing xlings internal messages to leak
to the terminal:

1. ensure_init(): `xlings self init` ran without any output redirect
   on Windows (Linux/macOS already had >/dev/null 2>&1). Now appends
   platform::shell::silent_redirect (">/dev/null 2>&1" on Windows).

2. install_with_progress() fallback: the NDJSON interface command
   had no stderr redirect on Windows (Linux/macOS had 2>/dev/null).
   Now appends platform::null_redirect ("2>nul" on Windows).

After this fix, the first-run experience is consistent across all
three platforms — only mcpp's own status messages and progress bars
are shown; xlings internal output is fully suppressed.
