Add the option to minimize to the Windows Task Tray only so it is not on the Task Bar, similar to how Outlook or Codex can do.

Research direction

Start by checking how the app currently handles minimizing and whether Windows tray behavior is already configured. Verify on Windows 10 that minimizing removes the app from the taskbar while retaining a tray icon, and confirm the behavior matches the requested optional setting.
