autostart-run.bat did 'cd /d %~dp0' -> scripts/, but web-vnc.exe/webvnc.conf/
go.mod live in the repo root, so the binary was never found and web-vnc never
started after reboot. Now it cd's to %~dp0.. (repo root).
The task was ONSTART/RU SYSTEM (session 0) so it could not show a window, making
failures invisible. install-autostart.bat now registers ONLOGON /RL HIGHEST as the
current user -> a visible console opens at logon. autostart-run.bat sets a window
title, prints status, stays open while web-vnc serves, and pauses on fatal errors
(no binary / no webvnc.conf) so the reason is visible. Docs updated.
autostart-run.bat checked 5900 once at startup; at boot the UltraVNC service may
not be up yet, so web-vnc either spawned a 2nd VNC server (conflict) or started
serving on :8080 before the VNC server was ready, breaking browser connections.
Now autostart-run.bat polls 127.0.0.1:5900 for up to ~30s (one PowerShell loop:
TcpClient + Start-Sleep 1, exits on first accepted connection) and only then
launches web-vnc.exe -- without --spawn when 5900 already listens, or spawning a
local server (portable vnc\winvnc.exe / tvnserver.exe, else auto-detect) if it
never came up. Docs (AGENTS.md, README.md) updated.
- install-autostart.bat, uninstall-autostart.bat, restart-autostart.bat,
open-firewall.bat moved from scripts/ to the repo root (next to run.bat and
set-password.bat). Internal helpers (autostart-run.bat, ensure-vnc-password.ps1,
get-novnc.*, get-vnc.ps1, list-ips.ps1) stay in scripts/. autostart-run.bat is
kept in scripts/ because the scheduled task /TR points at it; moving it would
break already-installed tasks.
- Updated all references (set-password.bat, run.bat, install/restart-autostart.bat,
AGENTS.md, README.md).
- set-password.bat: write webvnc.conf BEFORE the UltraVNC sync so the web password
is configured even if ensure-vnc-password.ps1 fails / its UAC is dismissed
(previously 'Password is not configured' from install-autostart.bat when the
sync blocked before conf was written).
- AGENTS.md / README.md structure + autostart sections updated for the new layout.
- set-password.bat: one-time password setup -> writes webvnc.conf (HASH + VNC_PASSWORD), syncs UltraVNC via ensure-vnc-password.ps1; if the 'web-vnc' task is installed, restarts it (elevated) to reload the new password, skipping restart when the password is unchanged.
- run.bat: no longer prompts for the password; reads it from webvnc.conf (asks to run set-password.bat first if absent). Also clears --spawn-command (not just --spawn) when 5900 is already listening, to avoid spawning a 2nd VNC server.
- scripts/autostart-run.bat: non-interactive launcher for the scheduled task (reads webvnc.conf, finds only a LOCAL VNC server, never downloads at boot).
- scripts/install-autostart.bat / uninstall-autostart.bat: register/remove a 'web-vnc' scheduled task (ONSTART, SYSTEM, HIGHEST) via schtasks.
- scripts/restart-autostart.bat: restart the task to apply a new password; checks whether web-vnc.exe is running (stop+start, or just start).
- .gitignore: ignore webvnc.conf (secret).
- AGENTS.md / README.md: document the autostart flow, set-password.bat, the new scripts, and that the running gateway must be restarted to apply a password change.
