Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the behavior with the reported Windows Terminal and Windows build versions by opening a .bat or .exe file. Trace how Windows Terminal launches these files and compare the transparent window with the cmd.exe window. Done means commands run in one Windows Terminal window without either extra window appearing.
