+"""Full-repo self-scan wrapper for scripts/check-windows-footguns.py.
+
+scripts/check_subprocess_stdin.py has had a pytest wrapper (see
+tests/tools/test_subprocess_stdin_guard.py's test_all_tui_subprocess_calls_
+have_stdin) that runs the checker with its default full-scan behavior and
+asserts a clean exit — so a normal pytest run of that file catches
+regressions even when no one remembers to run the standalone script by hand.
+check-windows-footguns.py had no equivalent: only a narrow rule-level test
+(tests/scripts/test_footgun_subprocess_encoding.py, scoped to the
+text=True/encoding= rule) existed, so a bare ``os.killpg``/``signal.SIGKILL``
+regression (caught by CI running the real script with --all, not by any
+local pytest run) shipped in the T1-T3 npx-agent-browser hardening commit
+before anyone ran the script directly. This closes that gap the same way
+the stdin guard already closes its equivalent one.
