The koffi redesign moved the dialog from a spawned child process (which
inherits a foreground-activation right from the spawning app) onto a worker
thread of the same process, so Windows shows the dialog without activating
it — it opens behind the app with a taskbar flash. The app has no native
HWND to hand the seam, so raise from the driver: on the 'showing' notice
(the worker posts it right before Show, before the dialog window exists),
attach this thread's input queue to the dialog thread's, call
SetForegroundWindow on its top-level window, and detach — retried on the
close cadence until the window appears, stopped on settle/abort/success,
never blocking the pick. Injectable seam mirrors closeThreadWindows; driver
tests pin the raise and its retry; the in-process note records the
mechanism (both languages, pairing re-recorded).
