The window still showed, taskbar entry included. Two things.
The taskbar button belongs to the FMX proxy window (TFMAppClass), a separate
top-level window from the form — hiding the form alone never removed it.
FindFMXAppWindow moves from private to public so the activate-hide can drop
both. (Guarded on Assigned(FBridge): the handler is installed at line 222,
the bridge is created at 268.)
And rather than guess a fourth time at FMX's startup order — the same trap as
the window-state saga, which only fell to instrumentation — this logs a
millisecond timeline: FormCreate begin/end, the activate-hide, and the
deferred MinimizeToTray. Whichever gap holds the second will be obvious.
