User reported regression introduced in v0.7.6: PowerShell / cmd open
in a separate external console window instead of attaching to the
xterm.js tab (v0.7.5 worked).
Root cause: the ConPTY wiring used
attrList.Update(PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PSEUDOCONSOLE,
unsafe.Pointer(&hPC), // ← wrong
unsafe.Sizeof(hPC))
The PSEUDOCONSOLE attribute is a Win32 API quirk: lpValue must be
the HPCON *value* (cast to PVOID), not a pointer to the local
variable holding the handle. With &hPC the kernel reads garbage,
silently drops the attribute, and CreateProcessW spawns the child
with a fresh console — hence the external window.
Fix is one line:
unsafe.Pointer(uintptr(hPC))
Confirmed against Microsoft's EchoCon sample and Go libraries that
work in production (UserExistsError/conpty, aymanbagabas/go-pty).
