agent: Cline's advice on Windows names both the desktop app and the CLI/VS Code extension (#898 follow-up) — since #898 Running answers yes on Windows, where it can't ask, so Cline's first branch (its desktop app) always won there and one using the VS Code extension was never told to reload its window. On Windows the advice now says both. TestDshClineAdviceOnWindows (run by the Windows CI job) checks it; go vet (darwin, GOOS=windows) and go test ./internal/agent under a temp HOME pass.
