- #106932: \[Bug\]: Windows gateway restart from non-interactive context hangs in input() then double-spawns two gateways

These issues and fixes address a bug where starting the gateway on Windows in a non-interactive (non-TTY) context causes the process to hang waiting for input and then incorrectly spawns two gateway instances. The changes prevent blocking on prompts and eliminate the duplicate spawn behavior.
