fix: suppress Windows console window on provider auto-start (windowsHide)

The autostart plugin's detached 'node serve' and serve's shell:true provider
spawn opened a cmd console window on Windows. Added windowsHide:true to both.
Re-run setup --force to refresh an installed ralph-autostart.ts. 116 tests.

+### Fixed
+
+- **No more console window popping up on Windows when the provider auto-starts.** Added `windowsHide: true` to the auto-start plugin's spawn and to the `serve` command's provider spawn (the `shell: true` cmd launch was what opened the window). Re-run `setup --force` to refresh an already-installed `ralph-autostart.ts`.
