+.SYNOPSIS
+    WinRepair Debug Launcher
+.DESCRIPTION
+    Runs WinRepair.ps1 as a CHILD PROCESS with full transcript logging,
+    visible console, and crash detection. The debug console stays open
+    even if WinRepair crashes or calls exit.
+    Debug log is saved to WinRepair_Debug.log in the same directory.
+.NOTES
+    Run this via RunRepair_Debug.bat when troubleshooting issues.
+    The console window WILL remain open even after a crash.
