Module spawn_process 

Process Spawner Module

Provides platform-independent facilities for spawning, detaching, and managing child processes (such as the REKTAL Kernel and GUI client).

Process Independence & Detachment

All processes spawned via this module are detached from the parent Launcher process lifecycle:

• On Linux / macOS (Unix): Child processes and terminal emulators are placed in their own process group (process_group(0) / setpgid) and have standard streams decoupled, ensuring they outlive the Launcher when it closes.
• On Windows: Processes are detached using CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP and (optionally) CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE.

Functions

spawn_gui

spawn_kernel

Spawns the REKTAL Kernel executable with optional arguments and console window.

spawn_linux 🔒

Spawns a process on Linux, querying available terminal emulators when console output is requested.
