The two black terminals had two causes: uvicorn --reload (a dev flag whose
reloader spawns the server as a child, and Windows gives a console window to a
child of a console-less parent), and DETACHED_PROCESS in launch(), which is
exactly the console-less condition that triggers it. Drops --reload here
(launch_nexus.sh keeps it for the Linux dev loop) and uses CREATE_NO_WINDOW.
The window now opens immediately on an inline 'Loading Nexus core services' page
and navigates to the app once /status answers, instead of waiting 40s offscreen.

PowerShell resolves ExternalScript (.ps1) ahead of Application (.cmd), and both
lived in the directory the installer puts on PATH -- so in PowerShell `ncp` ran
the .ps1 and was execution-policy-bound again, the exact thing the .cmd exists
to avoid. Its other justification (giving ncp to pwsh on Linux) stopped being
true once /usr/local/bin/ncp existed: pwsh runs a PATH symlink to a shell script
as an Application. A test now prevents the file coming back.

winget draws its progress bar with UTF-8 block characters, but PowerShell
decodes native output using the console codepage (437), turning each block into
three Latin characters and burying the real messages. Sets
[Console]::OutputEncoding to UTF-8 in install-windows.ps1, and chcp 65001 in
ncp.cmd for the check marks and em-dashes ncp.py prints.

Ports the ncp PATH work from upstream. Registering ncp as a shell-profile
function failed three ways on Windows: the default Restricted execution policy
blocks the profile itself, profiles don't exist outside PowerShell (cmd, Win+R,
Task Scheduler), and the self-elevating installer writes the admin's profile.
Windows now ships management/ncp.cmd and the installer appends management\ to
the Machine PATH via [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable -- never setx, which
truncates PATH at 1024 chars. A .cmd is exempt from the execution policy.
Linux symlinks /usr/local/bin/ncp -> management/nexus-cli.sh, falling back to
the old .bashrc function when sudo is unavailable.
Also renames requirements-wsl.txt to requirements-windows.txt and purges stale
WSL references, including vite.config.js's dev-server comment and
controlpanel.py's "Check WSLg." error string.

management/ncp.py replaces the bash CLI's logic; nexus-cli.sh and the new
ncp.ps1 are thin wrappers, so Linux keeps its entry point and Windows gains one.
psutil handles process and port work on both platforms.
install-windows.ps1 registers ncp in the PowerShell profile. The panel VPN
switch now resolves its WireGuard connection through NetworkManager instead of
a hardcoded name, and the .ps1 ASCII guard globs rather than naming files.
