Three silent console outages in one week (0x1 / 0xFFFFFFFF / 0x41306), each a different proximate cause of the same structural defect: the console's lifecycle was owned by Task Scheduler — one best-effort start per boot/logon/install, no retry on a plain non-zero exit, no watchdog — while the product already shipped a real supervisor. The service now supervises the console as a second child slot: plain session-0 spawn (suspended → own no-breakaway kill-on-close job → resume), started only once the host has written mgmt-token + cert.pem + key.pem (the cert race dies by construction), secrets read from their files at every respawn, bun's stdout finally captured in logs\web.log, doubling backoff 0.5s→60s that never gives up. Session switches never touch it; a service stop takes it down via the job. The PunktfunkWeb task is retired: web setup slims to password + legacy task delete + firewall, the 127-line web-run.cmd batch supervisor is deleted, an [InstallDelete] entry reaps the stale copy, and service install now sets SCM crash-recovery actions (restart 1s/5s/60s) since the console rides on the service process. StopBunRuntimes stays for the scripting runner + the one migrating upgrade. Design: punktfunk-planning design/windows-web-console-lifecycle.md Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
