`PythonKernel.start()` spawned the runner with `windowsHide: true`, which
in Bun maps to the Win32 `CREATE_NO_WINDOW` flag — that detaches the
long-lived child from any inherited console. Two consequences for OMP's
Python eval on Windows:
1. Native extensions that probe the console at init (e.g. NumPy's
`_core/_multiarray_umath.pyd` plus its bundled OpenBLAS/SLEEF
thread-pool init) can deadlock inside `LoadLibraryExW`, so the very
first `import pandas` / `import numpy` after a cold kernel never
returned. The reporter's faulthandler stack pinned the hang to
`_bootstrap_external.create_module` → `numpy/_core/multiarray.py:11`.
2. SIGINT cannot be delivered to a console-less process via
`GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent`, so the host's `proc.kill("SIGINT")`
silently no-ops — matching the reporter's "kernel unresponsive to
interrupt" log line. The 5s escalation then hard-kills the kernel.
Plain `python.exe -u -c "import pandas"` from the same venv inherits the
terminal's console and runs to completion, which is the contract this
change restores. The Python kernel now hides its window only when the
host itself has no console to share (service / piped launch); an
interactive TUI launch lets the kernel inherit the parent's console —
analogous to `python.exe` invoked from `cmd.exe`.
The `shouldHideKernelWindow` predicate lives in its own module so it can
be unit-tested without dragging in the kernel's runtime dependencies.
Short-lived helper subprocesses elsewhere (LSP probes, git, plugin
installs) intentionally keep `windowsHide: true` — they don't load
complex native modules and a brief console flash would be user-visible
noise.

Memory backends
The agent supports three mutually-exclusive memory backends, selected via the memory.backend setting (Settings → Memory tab, or ~/.omp/config.yml):
off(default) — no memory subsystem runs.local— existing rollout-summarisation pipeline; writesmemory_summary.mdand consolidated artifacts under the agent dir.hindsight— talks to a Hindsight server (Cloud or self-hosted Docker), retains transcripts every Nth user turn, recalls memories on the first turn of a session, and exposesretain,recall, andreflect.
Hindsight quickstart
- Run a Hindsight server (Cloud or
docker run -p 8888:8888 ghcr.io/vectorize-io/hindsight:latest). - Set
memory.backend = "hindsight"andhindsight.apiUrl = "http://localhost:8888"(or your Cloud URL). - Optional environment overrides (env wins over settings):
HINDSIGHT_API_URL,HINDSIGHT_API_TOKEN— connectionHINDSIGHT_BANK_ID,HINDSIGHT_DYNAMIC_BANK_ID,HINDSIGHT_AGENT_NAME— bank addressingHINDSIGHT_AUTO_RECALL,HINDSIGHT_AUTO_RETAIN,HINDSIGHT_RETAIN_MODE— lifecycleHINDSIGHT_RECALL_BUDGET,HINDSIGHT_RECALL_MAX_TOKENS— recall sizingHINDSIGHT_BANK_MISSION,HINDSIGHT_DEBUG
Switching backends mid-session is honoured on the next system-prompt rebuild and the next /memory slash command. Existing users with memories.enabled = true|false are migrated to memory.backend = "local"|"off" exactly once on first launch.
