Add real background/tray mode (don't kill agent sessions on window close) #2412

Description

@abduosmanaj

Problem

Closing the Buzz Desktop main window (the X button) terminates buzz-desktop.exe
and all of its child buzz-acp.exe agent-session processes immediately.
Minimizing works fine and keeps everything alive, but there's no tray icon /
"minimize to tray" registration, so closing the window is the only way to
"get it out of the way" -- and it kills every running agent session.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have one or more agent sessions active in Buzz Desktop.
  2. Close the main window with the X button (not minimize).
  3. Observe: buzz-desktop.exe and all buzz-acp.exe child processes exit;
    agent sessions stop.

Expected

A background/tray mode (similar to Tailscale, OneDrive, etc.) so closing the
window doesn't kill in-progress agent work -- e.g. a system tray icon with the
window continuing to run minimized/hidden until the user explicitly quits.

Environment

  • Windows 11
  • Confirmed via Task Manager: no tray icon registered for buzz-desktop;
    buzz-acp.exe processes are direct children of buzz-desktop.exe and exit
    when the parent window is closed.
