# GSP Windows Agent Cygwin Integration

Workspace reference: [`GSP-WORKSPACE.md`](../../GSP-WORKSPACE.md)

The Windows agent depends on Cygwin to provide the Linux-like execution environment expected by the OGP Perl agent.

## What Cygwin provides

- `bash`
- GNU Screen-compatible behavior where used
- Perl runtime compatibility
- Unix-style path and shell semantics for the agent scripts

## Operational rule

Startup scripts should detect the bundled Cygwin root first and fall back only when the bundled environment is missing. The launcher should point to the actual bundled `OGP64` tree, not to an unrelated system installation.

## Maintenance rule

Keep Cygwin-specific behavior isolated to this repository so the Panel can continue to treat the Windows and Linux agents as equivalent execution targets.
