+# ForgeFlow 0.10.6
+
+## Permanent Windows updater launch repair
+
+- ForgeFlow no longer launches hidden PowerShell update helpers with Node's defective Windows `detached` process mode.
+- Binary and source updater processes remain hidden, are explicitly unreferenced after their verified handshake, and continue independently when ForgeFlow closes.
+- A real Windows regression test now exercises the exact production Node spawn options instead of using a different process API.
+- Startup is still fail-closed: ForgeFlow remains open unless the request-scoped helper status reaches `started`.
+- Versions 0.10.4 and 0.10.5 need a one-time direct installation of 0.10.6 because their installed launcher cannot execute its own helper; updates after 0.10.6 use the repaired path.
