📄 Description

Overview

This PR implements independent background process execution for CLIProxyAPI, allowing the CLI service to continue running after the EasyCLI GUI application is closed.

Changes

Process Detachment

Windows: Uses DETACHED_PROCESS flag (0x00000008) to create independent process
Unix/Linux/macOS: Uses setsid() to create new session and process group
No stdout/stderr piping (prevents parent dependency)
Process handle is immediately dropped after spawn

PID Tracking

Added PROCESS_PID static for storing process ID
Used for:
- Checking if process is already running
- Killing old process on restart
- Status verification

Updated Behaviors

Window close no longer kills CLIProxyAPI process
Tray quit no longer kills CLIProxyAPI process
Restart functionality kills old PID before starting new process

Dependencies

Added libc = "0.2" for Unix platforms (setsid/kill functions)
Added platform-specific CommandExt imports

Benefits

✅ CLI service continues serving API requests after GUI exit
✅ Better separation of concerns (GUI vs service)
✅ Matches typical daemon/service behavior expectations
✅ Allows GUI to be used for configuration without disrupting service

Breaking Changes

⚠️ Important: Users must manually stop CLIProxyAPI using:

macOS/Linux: kill <PID> or ps aux | grep cli-proxy-api
Windows: taskkill /F /PID <PID> or Task Manager
App: Use the Restart button in settings

Process no longer automatically stops when app closes.

Testing

Compiled successfully on macOS
Process detaches and continues running after GUI close
PID tracking works correctly
Needs testing on Windows
Needs testing on Linux

Technical Details

See implementation in src-tauri/src/main.rs:

Lines 1069-1096: Process start with detachment
Lines 1110-1128: Restart with old process kill
Lines 984-1004: PID-based status checking
