Bohan Jiang e5e278a1a2 fix(agent/cursor): send prompt on stdin so CLI-like flags cannot be re-tokenised (MUL-4992) (#5711)
* fix(agent/cursor): send prompt on stdin so CLI-like flags cannot be re-tokenised (MUL-4992)

On Windows a Cursor task whose prompt contains CLI-like flags failed in ~2s
with `error: unknown option '-X'` and no agent output (#5649). A pasted build
log such as

    go build -ldflags "-X main.version=foo" -o bin/server ./cmd/server

was enough to kill the run.

buildCursorArgs put the whole prompt in argv as the positional after -p.
The official Windows launcher chain ends in `& node.exe index.js $args`
inside cursor-agent.ps1, where PowerShell re-serialises $args onto node's
command line. Under Windows PowerShell 5.1 and pwsh <= 7.2 (Legacy native
argument passing) an argument holding embedded double quotes is not
re-escaped, so the quoted region closes early, node's argv parser re-splits
at the interior spaces, and `-X` reaches commander.js as a standalone flag.

#1709 removed the cmd.exe `%*` re-tokenisation but stopped at the
Go -> PowerShell boundary, one hop before this. Its Windows tests only
compare the argv slice Go builds and never execute a shim, which is why the
gap stayed invisible.

Fix: keep the prompt off every command line. cursor-agent's -p is a boolean
print-mode switch and the prompt is positional; with no positional prompt and
a non-TTY stdin the CLI reads stdin to EOF and uses that as the prompt. So
drop the prompt from argv on all platforms and write it to stdin, leaving
only fixed, content-free flags in argv. No shell or launcher on any platform
can re-tokenise what is not on a command line.

The write runs in its own goroutine: a prompt larger than the pipe buffer
(~64 KiB) blocks mid-write until the child drains it, and the child cannot
drain while nothing reads its stdout. Closing stdin signals end-of-prompt, so
it is closed on both success and error paths, and on cancellation to release
a blocked write. Write failures surface in the result diagnostic, ranked
below explicit agent errors so an early child exit (bad auth, bad flag) is
not masked by the resulting EPIPE.

Tests: a prompt carrying the exact `-ldflags "-X ..."` shape must arrive
byte-for-byte on stdin and appear nowhere in argv; a 512 KiB prompt must not
deadlock; the prompt is written verbatim (the CLI trims it, we do not). Both
new unix tests fail against the pre-fix code. A Windows-tagged test drives a
real PowerShell host through the same .cmd -> -File rewrite.

Closes #5649

* test(agent/cursor): prove the Windows launcher fix on both PowerShell hosts in CI

The stdin fix has to hold on the host that actually exhibits the bug.
powershell.exe (5.1) and pwsh <= 7.2 default to Legacy native argument
passing; pwsh >= 7.3 defaults to Standard. A fix verified only on the newer
host would not be a fix for the reporter.

Run the shim probe against every PowerShell host on PATH rather than only the
one defaultPowerShellLookup would select, and hook the windows-tagged launcher
tests into the existing windows-execenv CI job. These tests are windows-tagged
and the backend job runs on ubuntu, so until now they ran nowhere.

* test(ci): run Windows launcher tests verbosely so skips are visible

A skipped or unmatched test still reports "ok", which would make the
Windows job look like coverage it is not providing.

* test(agent/cursor): close both coverage gaps in the #5649 regression tests

Two tests claimed guarantees they did not actually establish.

Windows: the fake cursor-agent.ps1 called [Console]::In.ReadToEnd() and wrote
the result itself, so it never launched a native child. The official shim ends
in `& node.exe index.js $args`, and that last hop is precisely where the bug
lives -- PowerShell re-serialises $args onto the child command line, and
whether the child inherits stdin was left unproven. The fake ps1 now
re-executes the test binary as a real native child (helper-process idiom),
which records the argv it actually received and drains stdin. Both PowerShell
hosts still run.

Interlock: the large-prompt fake drained stdin before writing any stdout, so
the child always unblocked the parent immediately and the test passed even
against a synchronous write -- it could not fail for the reason it existed.
The fake now floods stdout past pipe capacity *before* reading stdin, creating
the real mutual block. Verified: with the writer made synchronous the test
deadlocks to its 30s timeout, and passes only with the concurrent writer.

Also adds the missing cancellation case: a child that never reads stdin leaves
the writer blocked forever, so cancelling the context must close stdin,
release the writer and settle the run as aborted.
