Claude Fable Prompt to fix Orca Windows bootup speed & OpenCode freezing issue
/goal Orca is an agent IDE. On Windows, the startup time is very long. If i close the app then reopen it, it takes around 1 minute for it to launch, despite prior optimization attempts. I want you to create a benchmark harness to measure the startup time, then investigate how we can improve our start up significantly, using the benchmark as proof. As you work, provide updates in a md file so you dont repeat or forget anything. Note: Startup time on MacOS seems fine for the most part, so this is largely a windows exclusive issue it seems. Additionally windows just seems to have worse performance overall, with users are even complaining of it freezing when using opencode. A user report is:

I open Orca, select the project, and open OpenCode.
I type the prompt and send it to the agent; a few seconds later—about five—everything freezes.
The OpenCode loader freezes; I can't close Orca normally—I have to use the task manager. I literally can't move anything in Orca; the only thing moving in the left panel is the

Many people are complaining about the same thing. We have already done some optimizations to improve the startup time, but it still takes quite a while.
