chr1syy aafe0d6a48 fix(windows): stabilize local and SSH execution for wizard and sessions
- Use full agent path (claude.exe) on Windows to avoid shell:true
  which breaks stdin piping for stream-json input mode
- Fix SSH condition to check enabled flag, not just config existence
- Pass sessionSshRemoteConfig through inline wizard to enable remote execution
- Add synopsis SSH inheritance from parent session as backend workaround

Fixes local wizard crashing with exit code 1 and SSH sessions
incorrectly using local paths when SSH was disabled.

# Building and Running on Windows
This guide provides instructions for setting up your environment and running the Maestro application on a Windows machine.
## Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:
* **Node.js:** Version 22 or later.
* **Python:** Version 3 or later.
Additionally, you will need the Visual Studio Build Tools to compile native Node.js modules used in this project.
### Installing Visual Studio Build Tools
1. **Download the Build Tools:**
* Go to the [Visual Studio Downloads page](https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=Visual%20Studio%202022).
* You may need to log in with a Microsoft account.
* Download the **Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022**.
2. **Run the Installer:**
* When the installer launches, you will be prompted to select workloads.
* Check the box for **Desktop development with C++**.
* Proceed with the installation.
3. **Verify the Setup:**
* After the installation is complete, open a PowerShell terminal in the project root.
* Run `npm ci` to install dependencies. If you have already run `npm install`, you can run `npx electron-rebuild` to rebuild the native modules.
## Running the Application in Development Mode
There are two ways to run the application in development mode on Windows: using the provided script or by running the steps manually.
### Using the Development Script (Recommended)
The easiest way to start the development environment is to use the `dev:win` npm script. This script automates the entire process.
Open a PowerShell terminal and run:
```powershell
npm run dev:win
```
This will handle all the necessary build steps and launch the application.
### Manual Steps
If you encounter issues with the `dev:win` script or prefer to run the steps manually, follow this procedure.
1. **Build the application:**
```powershell
npm run build
```
2. **Start the Vite renderer:**
```powershell
npm run dev:renderer
```
3. **Start the Electron main process:**
Open a **new** PowerShell terminal and run the following command:
```powershell
npm run build:prompts; npx tsc -p tsconfig.main.json; $env:NODE_ENV='development'; npx electron .
```
This will launch the application in development mode with hot-reloading for the renderer.
