+### Fixed
+- **Sessions start on Windows again** (#600). On Windows the bot spawned the Claude CLI with `shell: true`, which makes Node join the arguments into one cmd.exe command line without escaping them. The `|` in the session context passed as `--append-system-prompt` was read as a pipe, so every session exited with code 255 before Claude answered. Any other shell character in an argument had the same effect, including text from a user's message in the one-shot haiku calls, which made this a command-injection path too. Spawning now goes through the `cross-spawn` package: it runs a native `claude.exe` directly and escapes arguments for cmd.exe when the target is an npm `.cmd` shim. The auto-update installer (which spawned `npm.cmd` without a shell, rejected by Node since 20.12) and the self-respawn after an update use the same path. A new `windows-latest` CI job round-trips shell characters through a real `.cmd` shim, so this path is tested on Windows from now on.
+- **Auto-restart on Windows no longer picks the WSL `bash.exe`** (#600). `bash` on PATH is often the WSL launcher, which runs the daemon script inside Linux, where the Windows paths it gets do not exist. The bot now looks for Git for Windows' bash and starts without auto-restart, with a notice, when there is none. The daemon script also stopped using `eval` to start the bot, which dropped the backslashes from a Windows path and split any path containing a space, on macOS and Linux too.

 - **Files both ways** - Drop any file into the chat for Claude to read, with full multimodal for images and PDFs; Claude posts screenshots, plots, or PDFs back with `send_file` (100 MB cap)
 - **Voice notes** - With `transcription:` configured (ElevenLabs Scribe), an audio clip is transcribed before Claude sees it and the transcript is echoed into the thread; see [Configuration](docs/CONFIGURATION.md#transcription-transcription)
 - **Quiet mode and verbosity dials** - `!mentions on` makes a session respond only when mentioned; session headers and the channel sticky each have `full`/`minimal`/`hidden` modes
-- **Runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows** - Windows via Git Bash or WSL
+- **Runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows** - natively or inside WSL; on native Windows, auto-restart needs Git for Windows' bash
 - **Auto-update** - The bot watches npm for new versions; `!update now` applies one from chat
