Process.spawn/poll/kill/free - non-blocking child processes with no shell: posix_spawn on macOS (process.ll), CreateProcessW with MSVC-quoted arguments and no console window on Windows (process_win.ll), linked only when a program uses Process.*. Http.save_to streams a response body into a file (NSURLSession with a run-time delegate class on macOS, the WinHTTP read loop on Windows); Http.received / Http.expected report progress while it is pending. Freeing a pending request cancels it and parks the slot until the worker has finished. App.window_hide / App.window_show take the game's window off the screen and back without closing it; the run goes on while hidden. Docs, examples, tests and a changeset.

Child processes, started and polled — what a launcher is made of. Process.spawn starts a program directly, with no shell, and returns at once; each frame Process.poll answers -1 while the child runs and its exit code once it has ended, so a crash is a non-zero code the game can act on. Process.kill ends a child and Process.free lets a handle go. Pair it with App.window_hide to step aside while the child runs.
The child inherits the environment and the working directory. posix_spawn on macOS; CreateProcessW on Windows, with each argument quoted by the MSVC rules and no console window. Like Http.* it is out-of-band and must never feed the deterministic lockstep/replay simulation.
